Baking in RV ovens

[newbab]

I have heard that because of the uneven cooking in the oven if you get flat cooking stone that it cooks more even. Any thoughts on that or has anyone tried this?

[ependydad]

Per forum posts- tried and true. I think one member actually took spot measurements around the oven before and after to verify it.

We haven't baked in our oven since adding the stone, but we have high hopes for it.

Sure! Tons of folks use pizza stones with good results. It'll never be like a home oven, but works brilliantly, all things considered. Finding a square one that fits well isn't always easy, but they cost all of what? 10 bucks? Others use unglazed tiles from the hardware store. Same difference.

DW just bakes at lower setting. Seems OK. Instead of biscuits at 350, do 325, etc. She also used the airbrake sheets.

We use our oven almost every time we camp and yes a pizza stone helps.

Found a couple of threads about this that I found helpful

I also use a pizza stone to bake on, works great. And yes, the propane seems to cook hotter than the natural gas we use in the house so I turn the oven down a bit.

Pizza Stone is the ticket!

[BamaBob]

X100 all the above. We have a pizza stone cut to fit over the burners on the bottom and another stone we use to bake on or directly cook on if it is bread or pizza.

I disagree with the other comments though...slightly lower heat, slightly longer cooking time - just as good as the oven in the house!

[Kevin & Judy]

What size stone are you using?? Do you get one that it the same basic size as the inside of the oven??
Thanks in adavnce. Kevin

I got a square one from here. These are more expensive than a square unglazed tile from the hardware store but are thicker and do a good job. Don't really know if you are supposed to cover the holes on the shelf or not. Maybe others can give their opinions on that. I just measured and bought a premade that would fit. They do custom sizes as well.

This is really late but go to home depot and get a 12 inch cermac tile and place in the bottom of your oven and leave it there. Lots cheaper than a pizza stone (probably 2 bucks).

I have used a tile but it cracked 1st time using the tile in preheating the oven, Home depot has a 13" round pizza stone for 13 bucks and fits perfectly. They are used for grills and such and can handle heat to 500 degrees.

Try visiting a tile shop that has closeouts and shop for the thickest tile you can find, they take the heat much better, at a cheaper price too.

I just joined, but seeing that a pizza stone is the ticket, for what? frozen pizza?
I am pretty much done with this hobby..

We also use the air bake pans which work well and have the advantage of being light.

I cut a 1/8" thick aluminum sheet to fit the bottom of the over (but not over the holes). Put 1/4" X 1" bolts on the corners for standoffs and to attach some SS wire to wrap in the holes to secure it. It works great. Could not tell the top from the bottom of the biscuits. All evenly cooked, and no worry about breakage.

Yup, a pizza stone works...but they're round and the oven space is square...so, we use an UNGLAZED ceramic tile. Bada bing!!
