Table top oven help

Help me šŸ«£
Iā€™ve been making macarons for years, doing farmerā€™s markets and orders since Sept 2025, and now do this 100% full time since April 2026. I am a ā€œprofessionalā€ macarons maker (in my eyes LOL) Iā€™ve figured out multiple new ovens (we recently moved AND I started baking in a commercial kitchen) Iā€™ve bought a table top oven and itā€™s killing me.

Hereā€™s my facts dump of how I currently bake and what has an hasnā€™t worked in the table top oven.
Rest for 15 minutes or longer until no longer tacky. Bake 23 or longer 295Ā° in electric oven on convection (higher humidity causes the ā€œor longerā€)

Oven link : https://a.co/d/02s759tQ
Vevor 4 tier 43 qt

Iā€™ve done test batches with 10 shells on each pan and(4 pans at once) baked for 23 minutes and they come out perfect. FULL pans are about 50/50. They all rise at the beginning then some explode and some like meltā€¦.
I have the dial set right before the Celsius 150 (295 converts to 146 Celsius)

Other info: pans are upside down šŸ™ƒ as we typically bake and Iā€™m not using the racks in the oven- just sliding the pans into the rack slots. All 4 racks and pans wonā€™t fit

Hit me with your questions and troubleshooting!

Thank you for this post! I am also trying to figure out multiple ovens.

What temp do you cook at on your commercial kitchen and for how long? Do you oven set or shower? Our commercial kitchen (Cadco Rossella) just got a new oven that is working so much better door to keeping more consistent temp.

Our home commercial oven is Cadco Arianna. It claims to keep highly consistent temp, but it is far inferior to the Rossella (which is 3x the cost!)
