Sorry I'm late, I got lost on the road of life.

Baking with friends

Posted by Vivienne on September 30, 2009

Well, all I can say: it wasn’t exactly our fault. The dough was perfect (it was a semi instant dough, add some milk, eggs and butter/oil), the oven is one of those microwave-oven-grill-combinations  (which was supposed to work fine!!) and the muffins were supposed to bake for 20 minutes. We did everything like told on the outside of the pack, pre-heated the oven thingy and then added the muffins. After 5 minutes smoke was everywhere, kitchen, bathroom, living room – everywhere!!! and it was really impossible to cut any of them like a normal muffin – they were hard as stones. Killermuffins!!!! The inside looked like this:

muffin

The downside was still wet and somewhat creamy, the inside was burning and the top hard as a stone – have you ever seen something similiar?!

We had to get out and buy an anti-smoke candle which helped a bit with the smell but not 100% because if you ‘concentrate’ you can still smell the smoke, despite open windows and doors all day long! ;)

I’m only gonna bake again with a real oven! :D

    My in-laws have one of those dual-action microwaves. They seem like a great thing to have…it cooks and bakes so quickly! Except the temp and time on food packages are usually only for conventional ovens…so it’d probably take a lot of trial and error to master it.
    I must be hungry because your muffin looks sort of tasty to me:) Except for the burnt part in the center…but I’d just eat around it!

    oh no, that stinks!! i wonder what happened?! i definetly would stick to a regular oven too! lol i hope the smoke smell is gone now!

  3. I made cupcake once. It almost looked like that. I could not even blame the oven, it was all just me. I am sure I could be the worst cook alive.

    Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest!

    For me cooking is fine as long as it can be done within half an hour :D we tried to eat around the black centre but with that smell in the nose while eating…. ugh, no thanks :D I don’t think I have the nerve to try and get many errors until the combination is safe for me to use. Just a normal good big oven… :D
    Thank you for all your comments :)
