Can't things other than food be baked?

Hey, you're right! Salad Days 04:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Top/Bottom

The broiler is on the top, people. I've cooked on over 20 ovens, and I've never seen one with a broiler on the bottom.

I've never, ever seen one on the top, person. Every stove I've had has had them on the bottom. Perhaps it differs by type of power (i.e., gas vs. electric), location (the availability of different types of power, i.e., gas vs. electric, again), type of stove, etc. Just some food for thought. :)

I disagree.[1]

Well, I guess there must be ovens like what you are claiming if you found that; I've still never seen them, and the wikipedia page on Broiling talks about heat being applied "from above." [2], a page on replacing oven parts, has a diagram of the kind of broiler I'm talking about. Perhaps since it appears that broilers can be below or above, both should be mentioned.

I know the whole top/bottom thing isn't even on the page anymore, but I still just have to point out the stupidity of this. The site provided that's supposed to prove that broilers are on the bottom? That's just showing the broiler on one specific model of stove, the kind with a broiler compartment at the bottom that pulls out. And guess what? Even in stoves with those broiler compartments, the heating element is on the TOP of the compartment. Broiling is always heating from above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.134.234.55 (talk) 17:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just uploaded a picture of some baked food (Baked food.jpg) So i wondered if anyone could add it in the article? I'n not good with wikipedia :P Thanks in advance —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.165.178.126 (talk) 15:45, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

conduction? i think not!

Conduction is generally using saucepans, frypans etc. Convection is using boiling or using the oven. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.192.48 (talk) 09:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

picture

I think the opening picture is way too big. It is distracting and should be made smaller. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.83.134 (talk) 04:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline and copyright violation

I have removed the entire timeline, which was copied verbatim (and badly at that) from http://www.bakeryinfo.co.uk/news/categoryfront.php/id/19/BAKING_HISTORY.html, a magazine article which is copyright William Reed Publishing and not covered by fair use.

Ingredients

Citations

If I could tag this entire page citation needed, I would. Also, article on searing indicates that the cooking of the outer of a food has no positive effect on moisture retention. 82.24.118.149 (talk) 20:04, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
