Can I bake cake in OTG?

Food experts generally do not recommend baking cakes in convection ovens. Cakes rise best with a steady heat; the heat movement adjusts the crumb of the cake and may cause it not to rise properly.

Small OTGs 20-28L comes under the small ovencategory. These ovens can only incorporate one tray at a time and the width of the oven is very small so you can only bake in a small 6inch cake pan and about 4 cookies at a time.

An OTG is best used for baking, toasting, and grilling. For example, you can bake cakes, grill meat, and toast bread with ease. A convection microwave can perform all of these functions and reheat, cook, and de-freeze, which the OTG cannot.

The Bajaj 1603 T 16 Litre OTG is one of the best OTG ovens. It allows you to cook food for 2-3 people.
