What's the trick to cooking in a TT oven?

[buschmann]

So had a 17' Roo for two years and just got our 2013 233s delivered Sat. So for two years whenever I tried to cook anything in the oven it always is burnt on the bottom and hardly cooked on the top. With the new TT I would love to be able to use the oven, so I figured someone in here must know the trick to using the oven. Any help would be great! Thanks!

You can get a double layered roasting pan. It has an extra thick bottom and great for making biscuits and cinnamon rolls w/out burning the bottoms. They have them at Wal-Mart.

Pizza stone works great. If you can find an unglazed tile it will work also. The tile has to be unglazed or it will crack.

X2. Found that out the hard way.

Ok so a stone but stupid question. Can you place the stone under say a 9x13 baking dish and it work?? If so what does that do to basking time. Does it add more shots of patron. Oh sorry side tracked to my method of timing. Does it add more baking time???

I purchased a square pizza stone at Kitchen Collection (normally in outlet malls). It was $20 or less and fits in the oven just perfect.

Does not seem to add baking time, but keep checking, as the temps are not that accurate in those ovens. Just put the baking pan on top of the stone. My stone did crack, but still works fine to help distribute the heat more evenly!

stupid question do you put the pizza stone on the rack under the dish or on the bottom of the oven?

no stone
we just put some foil under rack
so as to disperse heat better
we use a stone at home
but
not in the RV oven

seems to work fine for us

I asked the same question. See post#10 for answer

I have an $.88 glazed tile from lowe's resting on the very bottom of the oven it's lasted through six firings of the oven now. My oven was malfunctioning and used to climb hotter and hotter no matter where it was set. Once hit 550 before I shut it off. The dealer replaced the thermostat so now it stays where it is set. The little heat sink seems to even out the oven temp. I know there are ceramic and porcelain tiles, maybe it makes a difference which it is whether it breaks or not. I don't know which mine is but so far so good.

We have set our stoneware on the metal shelf directly above the burner. Works great at evening out the temperature in the oven. I believe I found that solution here in these forums as well.
