Homebrew PCBs

Hi,

 

I have seen the warnings about not re-using toaster ovens for food after
using lead-based solder paste. Do you'all think  the Pizzazz Pizza Oven
can be safely used for pizza after doing a board?

Has anyone tried a Presto Pizza Maker for reflowing:

It seems like a good possibility for something would work for pcbs.

My serious gripe has always been the preheat time and cool down time.
Commercial ovens use infrared which is a lot more efficient than
waiting for coils to heat up in an oven. The presto unit claims no
preheat.

I think this pizza maker thing has a good chance at working out
because I really like the top open view. You can just see when the
solder has reflowed and stop the motion.

Walmart sells them for $45 so I bought one and will try it out. If it
doesn't work out, easy returns.
