Of course, when starting something new and figuring things out for the first time, there is much experimentation and learning from making mistakes. For example, I was baking a batch of miniatures I had just created (some miniature oranges, granite cutting boards, cookies and beans) in a new toaster oven I got from my mom. This was my third batch in this oven, and so I set the timer, and hopped on etsy. Well- long story short, I smelled a burning plastic smell... not usually a good thing...
I got up to check the oven and to my dismay, discovered blackened white beans, black sandwich cookies with yellow cream, and... Pampered Chef-like pizza stones? The granite cutting boards actually browned to almost the perfect seasoned pizza stone color, and voila! Something good came of the disaster!
I try to always remember that everything that doesn't work out, doesn't, so that you learn something that makes everything that much better!
It turned out that when setting the timer, I bumped the oven temperature up just about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, causing the mishap.
