hand mixer
Please don't laugh. What you see in the picture is my hand mixer (I feel like I'm showing you an old model of motorola, when all of you have iPhones).
Any questions or recommendations dealing with stand mixers, baking stones, or any other baking equipment.

Thinking about getting an extra oven primarily for bread. I like the hearth in deck ovens but also like the capacity, and even baking of convection.
Do you think if I put stones in on a few of the shelves I would get the benefit of the deck oven hearth?
I imagine the stone would be 18x26 just like a sheet pan you might bake on so it wound not interrupt airflow anymore than pans would. Certainly seems like it might take longer to heat up given the added mass, but any other thoughts on how effective this might work or not?
thx

I'm looking to buy long perforated baguette pans, 36" x 26". I'm having a hard time finding them on the internet.
Can anyone direct me to a website or supplier?
Thanks-
so someone on craigslist near me is selling a very lightly used perfect working condition magic mill dxl 9000. i went and checked it out, looks nice, price is good too @ $230 (the gentleman said his wife always made dough by hand, the magic mill was an experiment, she tried it a few times, decided to switch back to hand mixing, it sat on the shelf for years, one day he looks at it and says "time to go!").
Hey everybody, didn't know if you all knew this, but I just learned about it yesterday. Sam's Club has parchment paper in a box. 1,000 sheets for about $36!!! Great deal. I didn't get the exact size but it fits their baking sheets which are a bit bigger than a home cookie sheet.
Hey guys,
Just doing the overn burn off in my new 30" Bluestar RCS. I of course bake a lot of bread. Does anyone have any experience with these ranges? Can it handle spritzing of water for steam?
Or any tips current Bluestar owners may have?

Ok so yeah, baking on it is an obvious answer but I am wondering if I need to do anything to it before baking on it for the first time? It's a cheap ceramic stone that I expect to crack eventually but it's something to use for now.
I put together a propane fired pizza/bread oven from a used Bar-B-Que. My first attempts indicate that the stone is getting much hotter than the upper half of the oven. Pizzas will get a bit of charring underneath while the cheese on top has hardly bubbled. Baguettes will hardly brown while the bottom is over crisp- bordering on hard.
There is space around all sides of the stone, approx 1.5" to 2", so the heat should be circulating.
