Thank you!
I'm not sure what your budget is but in HK my husband and I bought a small oven (about the size of a bigger breadbox) for something like $300 HKD (maybe less)--you can find this sort of thing at SOGO but we bought ours at a discount shop across the street from SOGO inside of a mall. I can bake anything in there! Including bread, casseroles, pies, cakes....the temperature setting is just about as high as a normal larger-sized oven! So, instead of forking out maybe $150+ HKD for a pie, I would suggest looking for a small oven. You can size down recipes and IKEA has baking dishes and pans that will fit that size of oven. Our oven has two racks inside so what I do is split the recipe into two smaller dishes and make two smaller pies instead of one. Then whenever you get in the mood for pie or anything else baked, you have your very own oven to use! I totally like my oven and find it versatile and it sure beats having to fry everything to eat it! Does anyone else have good suggestions on places to buy a decently-priced smaller oven in HK?
