Hi Cassandre, I really like ur posts and would like to ask you on tips for the Panasonic Cubie.
I have used an oven thermometer and noticed they dont match with the Cubie.
Eg. I preheat it to 150degC, then when it beeps when ready, my oven themometer only shows about 100degC.

Hence i would like to ask how u control this variable when baking, especially with heat sensitive items like Macaron.
I have not sure if i have issues with bread even when the oven thermometer shows less than 200degC, even when i set to 230degC. Hence i would prolong the baking time to about 5mins more.

Hope to hear from you.
Thank you so much~ =)
