Baking In a Portable Oven

We have been here one month now.  We decided to try to bake a cake the other day.  Because our apartment doesn't have an oven we were going to try using the microwave oven.  Then we found out that there were a portable oven that we could wheel into our apartment.
It is a little larger that the normal microwave and plugs into the 110 Volt outlet.  All the temperature markings are in centigrade.  There is a dial for the upper element and one for the lower element.  We were able to bake the cake, but it was overdone.   I didn't know you had to turn the dials down and turn  the upper dial down more so as not to burn the top of the cake.  We will try cookies next and do a better job of watching the clock.  There is no timer on the oven and I can't find one on the microwave either.

Well Carnival began this Saturday and goes until next Wednesday. Last week there were fewer than normal patrons at the temple.  We were the only couple on one of the sessions last week.  It rained everyday last week and one day was really a down pore.  I hope because people are off work and only a 10% chance of rain, that more will be at the temple this next week.
For those who didn't see the pictures of the temple, here is a link to them.

  1. Looks just like our handy dandy toaster oven. We cook pies, cake and turkey for Thanksgiving. Sister Thalman even makes homemade bread and it works pretty good. Looks like you are having a great time.
