Amaco Clay Oven
Has anyone used the Amaco Clay Oven? Does it work well? My home
electric oven has burned a light colored Fimo Yellow, and I'm wondering if this Amaco Clay Oven can be relied on. Any advice? |

wrote in message ups.com... Has anyone used the Amaco Clay Oven? Does it work well? My home electric oven has burned a light colored Fimo Yellow, and I'm wondering if this Amaco Clay Oven can be relied on. Any advice? either way use an oven thermometer and pre-heat. I haven't used that oven but if it's like the toaster ovens i've tried you can't just trust it you have to test it and find the setting that is = to the temp you desire! the amaco, i think only goes up to a certain temp though and it's made for the clay so it may be a better bet. i use the Euro-pro extra-roomy toaster oven on the "Toast" setting set to 275 but have to wait for about 15 minutes for it to heat up (all the way up to 350) then settle down to 265-275, it stays consisten then. Wierd right? the amaco is at michael's where you can use the 40% off coupon |

I've heard the oven is pretty good, however, it does have an automatic
shut off and if you need to bake anything longer than 30 minutes, you need to go and turn it back on, often repeatedly.

Hi, I also haven't used that oven but I also found out that I have to
preheat my toaster oven. Mine just needs to preheat for about five minutes. I found out the hard way and slightly burned some beads and now that I preheat, it works great. Good luck!\ Smiles, Sue wrote: Many thanks to both responders. I will use an oven thermometer and try it out. polymerharriett |
