Been baking for 10 years and decided to invest on a reputable oven. Read many review on this oven call Baby Belling, well known for its quality, durable and maintain even heat temperature during baking.
But this oven is not commonly found in Singapore, I have looking around, called the distributor and it's coming to Singapore. Quickly go around looking for it and saw it in a electronic store.
This oven has those old fashion look and is really solid, the door is pretty thick and closed really tight.
You can find more details of the oven here.

Wasting no more time, I quickly place an order for it and have to wait 2 days for it to arrive.
Finally today, I got my new oven!!!!
My Baby.. came wrapped up nicely...
It has also 2 hobs on top of the oven, cool....

Hello there. Do you recommend baby belling? How's the experience? Am residing in Singapore and came across the 25L model in courts. Looks small and door is not transparent but sales rep says the oven generates even heat which gives excellent baking results.
ReplyDeleteHi Hazelnut,
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my post :)
I'm a happy customer.
This is my first baby belling and I love it. I could say, this oven is design for professional baking and I feel confident on the result. The cakes taste so much better in term of texture. Temperature stay constant throughout the baking.
Yup, the door is not transparent, heavy and might have a problem taking a peek to check on the cake. Just take note of the time needed for the first time baking and the subsequent baking is a breeze. Also realise the cake take slightly longer to get fully bake but it's worth for the 5-10 mins wait.
As for the price, I would recommend you to those smaller shop around in SG like Parisilk or the one below Kallang Leisure world. You be surprise about the price different.

I am new to baking and for the first 2 attempts, my cake does not rise and the bottom appears dense. You mentioned that the cake takes longer to bake. So do you always add 5-10 min more to what the recipe asks for? Will increasing the temperature help? I have already increased 10min more for my first 2 attempts. Should I need to bake even longer?
DeleteHi there, seem like you have bought your baby... :)
DeleteFor the first time baking on baby, i monitor the time and add on 10-20 mins more. And use a wooden stick to check on the cake till it come out clean
What cake are you baking? Any blog that you can share with us?
Do share with us your experience too :)
By the way, I have move my site to www.mrkian.com.

Trying out Mrs NgSK butter cake. There are a few blogs you can find on this.
DeleteIt was mentioned in one of the blogs that the cake rise to ~4.5cm. But mine is at most 3cm.
I inserted a toothpick and it always came out clean. I tried for the 3rd time today, adding 20min more but the result is still the same.
Now I am wondering if the creaming was done well, or if I was too slow in preparing the batter that results in the cake not rising. Took me 45min from starting to cream to starting to bake.
What mixer are you using?
I have replied you at http://www.mrkian.com/2012/11/27/baby-belling/
DeleteBut in general, I think 45 mins to cream is very long.
hello - how is the energy efficiency of the Baby Belling
Deletei mean it is fully electric and i just am concerned about the costs to operate
Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy baby belling oven besides Courts?
I bought mine from parasilk.
DeleteYou can visit their website and contact them :)
Hi there, does Parasilk has all the models or we have to order and they ship them over? Do they do repairs too? As I'm been looking for this oven as my current baby belling is very old since I was young being passed down frm my mom. Either I can get it repaired or buy a bigger one for my frequent baking.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I'm not sure if they have all the models but would be good to give them a call to check it out.
ReplyDeleteSadly they do not repair on baby bellings
You can call Amtek at 6472 6500 for service. They have a Belling oven specialist. Sadly some spare parts are no longer available for old models (10-15 years Baby Belling ovens). Have got a 16-year old stand alone electric oven but have difficulty in finding spare parts (thermostat and energy regulator) to replace. Check UK websites under Belling spares.
ReplyDeleteHi, I wonder where you place your oven? It looks big and heavy to be on table top, but it seems to low to be placed on the floor. Considering getting baby belling, but not sure where to put it so that it doesn't seem so out.
ReplyDeleteHi icyelightning,
ReplyDeleteYou can buy a stand or rack to place the oven.
Example is this.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Winware-Baby-Belling-Cooker-Stand/dp/B0055YXGOI
I do have a table to place that, so not a issue for me.
But i do agree that it's really heavy.
Mr Kian, pls advise where is the customer / repair centre for baby belling ovens? Pls email to seeyou68@gmail.com if possible. Buckets of thanks.
