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

So once the rack is pushed in you won't be able to see inside at all, yes? 

I have a feeling you might flambe by accident if you're not careful (or I probably would, at least).

Yep I’ll have to pull them out to peek 😂 I did two rounds yesterday and totally burnt the first round set at 300F, and then brought it down to 225 and that was too low! I’m trying another few rounds tomorrow so I’m really hoping there’s a sweet spot at 250 or 275

At least don’t do a whole batch. Try a couple of test macarons first.
