Subject: Roasting Coffee in a GE Advantium Oven?
|
I wonder if anyone has tried this? I want to get into roasting and I'm
thinking of buying one of the home roasters. But I got to thinking
about my Advantium Micro Wave oven. This oven is a combination of
infrared radiant heating and microwave. It has a rotating turntable as
well as a vented fan to the outdoors. You can control the level of
microwave or infrared each from 0 to 10 independently.

Probably wont work, the wilkepedia article, mentions infrared/microwave
combo ovens

There's no Malliard reaction with m/wave heating, so no browning. The
infrared was introduced to brown the surface of the food, leaving the
microwave to cook the innards.
The problem is, the m/waves magnatron is tuned to boiling point 212F/100C,
which isn't hot enough for coffee. You would have to do small amounts and
the taste would be baked.
Zix finds the conventional oven, a flat cookie tray and a wooden spoon works
well. Assuming a decent extractor fan above oven.
