Wellβ¦. It had to happen. New oven is installed and ready to use. Thank goodness for neighbors who find you a good deal and then get an even better deal when purchasing.
Started browning butter (yes, in the oven) last night and then there was an error code. A whole new issue.
Because weβre getting close to the end of the stand season (minus custom orders coming soon) we want to be able to offer goodies until the snow flies. That meant we needed to replace the oven.
The OG oven in our home has done us good. Most Friday evenings and Saturday mornings Iβm making:
20-24 loaves
28+ cinnamon rolls
12-15 dozen cookies
28+ bagels
26+ English muffins
24 muffins
This doesnβt include if I do a restock or add new items I want to try. Iβd say weβre pretty lucky how well the oven kept up. The old one is more than likely fixable, so glad Dusty is a fix it kind of guy. Thank goodness for him the last few days. But this is also why we have 14 projects going on at once at any given time. π
Without you all, and Dusty, it wouldnβt have been such an easy decision to take the plunge and upgrade/replace the oven.
Peep the first bake. Sourdough snickerdoodle cookies. You might just find these at the stand this weekend. π
For the bakers out there that despise babysitting the stove to brown your butter, here you go. Try this and youβll never go back. Preheat oven to 350, put desired amount of sticks of butter on jelly roll pan, bake 35-40 mins. Done. Thatβs it. Let cool.π§
Happy Tuesday!π
