True.  A good many students may not be used to having an oven in the  home 
kitchen or with the Fahrenheit scale.  Some students may also be  unable to 
resist opening the oven door to peek at progress - every few  minutes.  I 
discovered this problem only after students complained to me  that the 
cakes/cookies/muffins they tried never turned out.  
 
Baked potatoes  - great idea - also inexpensive.  We also tried  tuna salad, 
Pilsbury crescent rolls - gasps when the package popped open -,  popcorn, and 
many many other simple simple foods.  
 
Take your cue from students' questions - what have they tried that they  
actually liked?  
 
Enjoy
