Like the stereotypical Asian family (some people might not even know this stereotype, we Asians do), my family uses the oven for storage and ONLY storage, never baking. I’m too lazy to take out all the pots (and believe it or not, different kitchen materials too) then put it back in after baking (unless I make a cake).
I have a rather small toaster oven (pretty much standard though), and I was wondering if I could make cookies or brownies in it. I have a baking sheet big enough to make about 9 cookies, and the toaster oven most definitely has the settings to bake things, but I just want to know if I should use it or the real oven instead.
Can someone also explain to me by how you could flour a baking pan? I would just use Pam for the greasing, but I don’t know how to flour a pan, I think I’d wind up with flour mainly in one spot and not enough in others.

Baking biscuits: I can’t find my cookie sheet can I use a cake pan for drop biscuits? I would normally just ask next door but since I’m in China at the moment I am the only person I know with an oven (large toaster oven). Also does anyone know how long it takes to cook meatloaf in a toaster oven?

I am planning on making mini pumpkin and apple pies with an after school group as a thanksgiving dessert for them to each bring home.
We have a large convection/toaster oven, but I’m not sure how the baking times/temperatures should be adjusted to compensate for the fact that they are so small. (We are using tart sized baking tins)
