Two trays? Yes

hi everyone, today was an experiment day. i recently got a few orders – in total 64 macarons – and baking them took me almost the whole day. since i use the oven rest method, they usually dry in the oven for about 10 minutes and then bake for another ~20 minutes, so it ended up taking longer than i expected.

to save some time, i decided to try a couple of variations between batches:
experiment 1 – two trays using the oven rest method, and halfway through drying i swapped the trays. the result looked really good.
experiment 2 – tried drying macarons with a dehumidifier and also baking two trays at once.

so if anyone else is trying to optimize their baking time, you can definitely try baking two trays – just make sure to swap them halfway through drying process.
