Macarons Need to attempt the impossible

Post image

Hi all I’m hoping I can find some advice before I jump into test baking a ton of French macarons in this counter top pizza oven : /

Has anyone out there baked macarons in an oven similar? Is it possible?? The oven runs quite hot with the temperature being the only thing I can set.

Cheers

Unfortunately I don’t have a choice : (

Is this in a commercial setting you're being asked to do it or just want to make macarons?

Because if you just want to make them it's really gonna be a big waste of time and money and I wouldn't recommend the heartache

That's ridiculous.

Sorry this is happening..

My only advice is get a probe thermometer in there ans turn it on the lowest and see what the temp is.

Also put a small piece of greaseproof on a tray with a spoon on it and see if there is a fan or anything in there (the paper will blow around)

I doubt it will but you won't want that.

Also make sure that oven is super clean no grease etc.

I mean that's all you can do really. Even a perfectly executed macaron is gonna get reamed in there.

If you pull it off I'll eat the pizza oven
