Baking muffins in rv oven for the first time...gasp!

When we had an RV oven, we used a pizza stone. It did break but did not diminish the effectiveness of the pizza stone.

Buy an oven thermometer to check your inside temperature. I've found mine runs a bit off from the dial set. I also use a pizza stone placed on the bottom of the oven. Place your pans on the regular oven rack, and switch halfway through. I use my oven quite often, but hate having to practically sit on the floor to reach in and light the pilot! Wish it had a push-button start! Good luck with your muffins!!

Use the wire rack.

Suitably sized unglazed tile is an inexpensive way to level the temp in any RV oven - pick one up at any Big Box. Never made biscuits in my oven so I can't help much with that.

The best solution we have found is to use two muffin pans stacked (an empty under the filled one). Our cornbread muffins come out perfect. We tried the pizza stone but the double pans work better for us.

For biscuits we use an air bake cookie sheet. It works perfect as well.

I will say yes because the principle is the same as your S+B oven; indirect heat is your friend for even cooking during most baking. The wire rack allows this to happen.

^^^^Use the wire rack.

The pizza stone only serves to even up the heat distribution, and moderate the temp swings.

I would much prefer a 2 burner cooktop with no oven. I've never used all 3 burners.

No gasp here:).
From what I've read an RV oven is one of the least utilised cooking appliance in the kitchen.

Yes to using a paver/ pizza stone or big box store 2-3 buck unglazed quarry tile( prolly the least expensive option;))and changing position of muffin tin to accommodate the heating elements cold spots. You can also line each tin with parchment paper or use the cupcake/muffin paper liners to cut down on burnt bottoms and clean up.

Chocolate muffins, ehh?
Got recipe?

We put our pizza stone on the solid metal shelf below the wire cooking rack. Just don't cover the holes in the solid shelf. I got a square that fits perfect from California Pizza Stones. Big difference.
