Have you baked muffin in a toaster oven?

I do not think a toaster oven can bake a muffin. I am worried if its catches fire. When I read the manual of the toaster oven it said something like it would catch fire if things are not done as mentioned in the manual. By the way, I have a question for you? Can we bake a pizza in a toaster oven? It is mentioned but I am not sure.

Hi Sydney, happy holidays! How badly burned were they? I think it was the paper cups you used that did it. Did your daughter like it anyway? Believe me I like a lot of food that gets burned in some parts. Maybe it goes back to my childhood when my mother first bought an oven and she tried her hand at it - Devil's Food Cake, I think the recipe was called. It came out totally burned at the bottom, but I absolutely loved it, for the novelty of the whole thing. I have also used the toaster for baking since I have no regular oven, but they were just oatmeal cookies, wrapped in aluminum foil and less than a 4th inch thick, so very little baking time was needed. It came out fine. :)

I have never tried that before. There is no way to control the fire or the heat in the toaster oven properly in order to bake anything. It is good for making sandwiches and sandwich pizzas. But muffins is really new for me. I guess you need to experiment a few time with the different heat settings in order to get it right to bake your muffins so that they do not get burnt. But it is an interesting way to cook your muffins. So, other than the base of the cups getting burnt, how did the muffins turn out?

I have a toasting part and a cooking part, but not baking. We buy toaster oven muffins. They're thin and round. They are for the toaster settings. But no I wouldn't try to put regular muffins in a toaster oven. The regular cooking part doesn't really work right. Oh well, you tried. Take care.

I have never tried baking in a toaster oven, but my sister has. She had baked bread in hers before. I am not sure what kind she has. Maybe hers is different and has different settings or something.

i bake evrything in my toaster oven that i can, keeps from turning on the big oven. i bake muffins, biscuits & cornbread all the time along w/other things. happy new year!

nope, I would never even think of doing that, but thanks for letting me know, well at least the rest of the muffins were okay and you could eat them right

Last Christmas my husband bought what he thought was a toaster oven but was in fact a convection oven. You are supposed to be able to do anything in that. Basically I have been except for cooking meat. I tried to cook a roast in there the first week I got it and it took forever too cook. Baked potatoes also take longer even though the oven is set at the same temperature and put them in for the same amount of time. I find myself putting them in the microwave for a couple of minutes to complete the cooking process. My situation is not the same as your's, but similar. With the toaster oven you are dealing with a confined space and your pan will be very close to the elements. The bottom element is the one that goes on and off all the time. The top one only goes on if you are grilling or toasting. In my regular oven I have to put a tray under anything I bake (cupcakes, muffins, cakes, meatloaf, etc.) and put the tray on the second to top rack in order not to burn the bottoms. In my experience, all ovens are different... and unpredictable. Sorry about your disaster this morning. Live and learn, right?

I mainly use ONLY the toaster oven. For just one or two people, doing a huge amount in the oven is a waist - yes, i spelled that right! If I bake them, I will eat them!!! I mix up a batch of cookie dough and then drop them on cookie sheet and freeze them then put them into a plastic bag. Then I can take out 6-8 and bake them in the toaster oven and eat only 6-8 instead of 10-12! A tip: Since you are heating a smaller area then a huge oven, you can often turn the heat down a few degrees and leave the time the same. Plus, make sure you know if you toaster oven heats from the top or the bottom - if from the bottom, put your rack near the top so the bottoms don't burn. I do store bought biscuits on the top rack and cover for the first 10 minutes with foil then take the foil off the last minutes, and the tops brown just fine while the bottoms don't burn. Stick to it and work on it, it is certainly worth it if you dont' want to bake huge batches or just really quick baking

No. but I have tried to fry some egg on it..lol...kidding. Well, at least , it got cooked...and tasty for sure. I hate cooking too. I just love eating but don't want to do the dirty work. I would rather wash the dishes than cook, or clean the house. I only how to cook rice and fried egg and even that, I oftentimes either burn them or cook them half-cooked. That's why at home my husband do the cooking. And my, does he cook well, so delicious. Yummy. Happy holidays Sydney, cheers. Good luck to you and your writing this 2009.

No, I don't think that I ever have, But hey! Did your daufghter like them? Did they turn out okay or too much burnt? If I were you I'd have been using the microwave!
