I’ve heard of people using electric toaster ovens for reflow work. There’s a few YouTube
videos about it. Should work for baking tapes too. I think there was quite a discussion
about it on cctalk a few years ago.

Maybe a dumb question but would an easy bake oven be a good device or are
they not good at holding temp control?
I thought I had heard of a few folks using those for reflow jobs, etc.
Especially since there's not risk of using an oven you might want out of
later.
The more I think about it though, the risk of a Fisher Price toy on
someone's important data sounds sort of stupid. But might be a cheap home
solution for less important data.
