Best Baking Accessories to Use With OTG Oven
An OTG oven opens the door to endless baking and grilling possibilities. From cookies and cakes to grilled vegetables and chicken. While a reliable OTG like those from AGARO provides consistent heating and performance, the right baking accessories make the process easier, safer, and more efficient.
Whether you're a beginner or a regular home baker, these essential accessories will help you get the best results from your OTG.
1. Baking Tray – For Everyday Cooking
A baking tray is one of the most important OTG accessories. It is ideal for baking cookies, roasting vegetables, making fries, and reheating snacks. A good tray ensures even heat distribution, which helps food cook uniformly.
AGARO Marvel 9L, 25L, and 48L OTGs include baking trays designed to fit perfectly and deliver consistent results.
2. Cake Tins – For Perfect Cakes and Desserts
Cake tins help shape cakes properly and allow even baking from all sides. They are essential for baking sponge cakes, brownies, and breads.
Using the right tin size is especially useful when baking in compact OTGs like the 9L or preparing larger cakes in spacious OTGs like the 25L and 48L models.
3. Wire Rack – For Better Grilling and Crisp Texture
A wire rack allows hot air to circulate around the food, which improves grilling and helps achieve a crisp texture. It is perfect for grilling paneer, vegetables, chicken, and even toasting bread.
It also helps cool baked items evenly after removing them from the oven.
4. Parchment Paper or Silicone Mat – For Non-Stick Baking
Using parchment paper or a silicone mat prevents food from sticking to the tray. It also reduces the need for excess oil or butter and makes cleaning easier.
This is especially helpful when baking cookies or delicate items.
5. Oven Gloves or Tray Handles – For Safe Handling
OTGs operate at high temperatures, so heat-resistant oven gloves or tray handles are essential for safely handling hot trays, racks, and cookware.
They improve safety and give better control while removing food.
6. Measuring Tools and Spatula – For Accurate Baking
Baking requires precise measurements. Measuring cups and spoons ensure accuracy, while spatulas help mix, scrape, and spread batter evenly.
These tools improve consistency and overall baking results.
7. Cake Tins and Silicone Moulds – For Versatile Baking
Cake tins and silicone moulds help you bake a variety of items with proper shape and even cooking. Traditional metal cake tins are ideal for sponge cakes, brownies, and breads, as they conduct heat efficiently.
Silicone moulds, on the other hand, are flexible, non-stick, and easy to use. They are perfect for muffins, cupcakes, mini cakes, and desserts. They also make it easier to remove baked items without damaging their shape.
Both options work well with OTG ovens like those from AGARO, allowing you to experiment with different recipes and portion sizes.
8. Wooden Skewer or Toothpick – To Check If the Cake Is Fully Baked
A wooden skewer or toothpick is a simple but essential tool for baking cakes. It helps you check whether the cake is fully baked inside.
To test, insert the skewer into the center of the cake:
-
If it comes out clean, the cake is fully baked
-
If batter sticks to it, the cake needs more baking time
This prevents underbaking or overbaking and ensures perfect texture every time. It is especially helpful when baking cakes in OTGs, where precise timing and temperature control are important.
The right accessories enhance your OTG cooking experience and help you achieve better results with ease. When paired with efficient and spacious models like the AGARO Marvel 9L, 25L, and 48L OTGs, these tools allow you to bake, grill, and roast with confidence.
