Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
Since we've only been fulltime for a few months, I don't have a lot of experience yet w/this convection oven. I never had one in the stix n brix. But so far, it seems to work well. All the cookies I've baked have been great & they cook fast. Last week, I made Chicken Cordon Bleu & it was really good too. The chicken was nice & crispy brown on the outside & moist on the inside. Tonight, I made Smothered Pork Chops & they were yummy.
The biggest problem that I've had has been making bread. I made Pumpkin Bread for the holidays & it turned out awful. Overdone on the edges & not done at all in the middle. I was very disappointed in that. So I'm still working on how to make bread turn out ok.
I absolutely love the GE Advantium!!! It has worked flawlessly and has been up to any task I have programed it to tackle. The site Cindy T offered is a good one and increased my understanding significantly.
I would not want a conventional oven with all the heat, energy consumption and cleaning. Yea Advantium!!!

I've started using Silicone products for baking in our S/B - much less weight to carry!!! So far they seem good - made a 9x9 of brownies last night and they came out real good. So far cooking time is about 5-8 minutes less than a glass pan. I wonder how they would do in this convectiion/micro?
Going to try a meatloaf next in a Silicone meatloaf/bread container.
We have been full-time since 1997 and have used a convection/microwave exclusively during that period. Once you get used to how things cook it is great. Doing a full blown TXgiving dinner requires good timing to get everything out hot and on time but it works great. Things do brown but I have not been able to do anything close to what you could do with a broiler. Otherwise, this is a great device and saves a lot of space over using a standard RV oven.
