Bake without scorching
We have the Amana oven in our 2004 Safari... couldn't bake anything above 300 degrees without scorching the bottom and overcooking. Clearly a heat diffuser was needed. I tried a pizza stone which promptly shattered, so I bought a 13" square (1" less than the oven dimension) of 1/4" mild steel for $15 at the local welding shop, attached 1' legs underneath just inside the depression in the oven floor, and voila!! Good diffuse heat without scorching at any temp, plus the thermal mass helps maintain a more even temp inside the small oven.
