Big Oven Vs. Small Oven

    So I have this miny little oven, it can get to like 500 degrees Fahrenheit but thats not the issue. When I made pot brownies last time, the recipe I have followed said like 300 degrees fahrenheit for 45 minutes. At about half an hour, the top started smoking, So I turned down the heat to about 200 and let it finish. It did smoke a bit even at 200 but, after I took it out, the inside wasn't cooked.

    Now I know, that with a smaller over, the heat is more contained, and with a big oven, its more... general? Anyways... I know the ratio for heat and oven size are different, I'm just wondering if anyone has suggestions on alternative heat and time for this small little oven? And no I don't have access to a big oven.

    Thanks!

    Try 25-30 mins at 300

    but even after 45 minutes, the middle was still not cooked?

    I think when you turned it down then the heat was too low- try starting it at 275 or 250 and then if it needs to be turned down more just turn it down by 25 degrees. also make sure you pre-heat the oven first. good luck edit-to fix bad typos

    but I don't think it will be completely cooked after I have turned it to a low temperature over a 45 minute period. I think maybe I should just keep lowering it until it's done its 45 minutes, then leave it in until it's cooked with the toothpick trick?

    Anyways i'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.

    the thing about baking is a lower temperature for longer doesn't usually work (unless it's just as few minutes and few degrees)- don't know enough scientifically to explain it well but it just doesn't work... try a batch of plain brownies just lowering the temp 25 degrees as sometime the oven thermostat is off (mine is so I have to put it a bit lower) and that's a better way to do a test try and get a feel for it's workings
