Homemade Ball Oven idea
« on: November 09, 2013, 12:08:30 PM »
Before I try this, I want to see if others already have, and if it is a good idea or not.

Take a box and line it with Foil, and use a heat lamp for a heat source.  Would this provide enough heat to do anything?  too much heat?  would a turn table be needed to keep the heat even?

Tried a variation of this, what you'd need is circulation.  I landed on picking up a dehydrator with a fan (base only) on eBay for less than $20. Then I got a large planter and lined it with foil. Firs great over the base and leaves room around ball.  Works absolutely great and cost me maybe $30.

Exactly what I did and posted on it several years ago here. Works like a charm.

If you search for DIY here you'll see how others have improved upon that basic idea. BTW, the original idea wasn't mine.

$60 food dehydrator from bed bath and beyond along with a $9 rubber container is the route I went.

Bottom of page two into three on this site has all of the info.

does the homemade oven work better than the dishwasher? I've had good luck just using the washer.
