Google for Toaster Oven Reflow...I have seen a number of articles on this, including one on Circuit Cellar Ink.

Hi All,

OK a customer has asked me to solder up some PCB's, no problem, apart 
from the main part a DSP in a 40 lead QFN with centre ground pad this 
sucker is 6mm Sq with 0.5mm pad centres, has anyone ever soldered one of 
these ? I am planning on using solder paste and hot air, the PCB's were 
designed by me for mass production ie reflow soldering not HAND 
soldering, I am wondering if an electric skillet would get hot enough 
and reflow it ? I could quite easily go buy one and hack the sides off 
to make a flat plate, if it could also go down to 90C I could use it as 
a heat pad for warming PCB's ready for hot air re work (a re work 
station I was looking at had pads to heat the PCB up so the hot air or 
IR worked quicker)

Regards,

Kat.
