You should read the package but most of them cook at 265-275 F. But you can also just turn it to a temp. Around 250-300 F. And just watch it.... Sometimes it releases a smell but it's harmless to people.... But birds on the other hand.... keep them away.... they shouldn't be near the oven anyways.... also go on YouTube.com and type in
"polymer cupcakes angeladivine" she has TONS of them.... they are amazazing and she has tutorials on how to make them... Happy Baking :)
Polymer Clay is basically polymer vinyl chloride, a type of plastic. There are ground up pigments as well as a liquid plasticizer- all clay manufacturers have a "secret formula" that they won't share with the public. The main thing to remember is that when you fire the clay in the oven, you are "burning out" the plasticizer that is liquid, and all that is left is the pigment and the PVC which bonds together in the low heat.

The temperature and time varies for different brands of polymer clay. Always read the instructions on the package and do not bake for longer than the instructions tell you to. Let the piece cure either in the oven or take it out. Let it sit for a while so the colours intensify and deepen. This process also lets the polymer clay harden and to be stronger.
Fimo - Bake at 230°F/110°C
Bake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.
Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/ 130°C
Bake for about 20 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.
Studio by Sculpey - Bake at 275°F/130°C
Bake for about 30 minutes, a bit longer for thicker pieces.
Sculpey Bake Shop - Bake at 275 °F (130 °C) for 15 minutes per 1/4 in (6 mm) thickness.
Kato Clay - Bake at 300°F/150°

Yes, these are excellent for baking polymer clay!
Hope this helps! :)
You can, actually. You have to use a microwavable container and fill it with water, though.

I use a desk, and I cover it with several layers of contact paper.
Yes you can and you can use wire I think
electric iron , electric toaster, electric water heater, electric geyser
It's doubtful; I wouldn't be able to answer that for sure unless I knew the particulars of your set-up (what is your microwave/toaster's draw? what kind of breaker do you have? etc.), but I don't see any reason why this microwave would help that situation.
Yes
You can use your normal oven. the only concert in the off gassing from the sculpy clay. but that should not effect you unless you are doing tons of it.i, personally, use my toaster oven, so that i can watch the progress of the cooking more easily and take it out with ease if it starts to blacken.

people use the toaster oven to toast bread.
No!
For Fimo Polymer clay and Sculpey Polymer clay should be baked in the oven on a baking sheet covered with foil or baking parchment for about 20 minutes to 1 hour at 130 C / 275 F Or...5-3 hours at around 220, and let it cool in the oven...:) "The information is on the back of the packages" Fimo & Sculpey clay requires an oven, heated to 265 degrees, and bake clay for 30 minutes. And yes, use foil or baking parchment with old cookie sheet. (use the cookie sheet only for clay, never for food)
You will still need it to do certain things a microwave can't.
Yes, you can use your toaster oven to bake. You can bake things such as cookies, pizza, or pot pies.
No!
well we use the oven toaster for bread, Pizza and things like that
Decide which functions you think your family will need from a toaster oven. If you intend to use it for breakfasts you want to make sure it has a bread toasting feature. Decide if your toaster will need to have a timer. Also take into account whether or not you intend to use your toaster oven as a second oven in which case you may want it to have a broiler function.
I am not sure what you mean about make polymer clay with cornstarch. Polymer clay is a clay already made. You can use cornstarch to avoid other objects like stamps from sticking to the clay when you make prints on clay. You just brush it on with a soft brush. It does not harm the clay, and after curing you can simply rinse it off with water.
