It probably could be done -- I've made this in a gas oven and in four or five different electric ovens over the years, a couple of which had a convection feature.  As long as it's big enough for a 8x8 or 9x9 pan with room for airflow, and can keep a fairly steady 325°F for 35-45 minutes, it should work.

Those are pretty cool. Still, I prefer a good zester. They really grab hold of the peel, no matter the skin. I used them on limes every day, which are usually quite smooth.

It's actually not recommended to use a convection oven for cakes, so I would try a trial run before doing the main deal, if you're going to be serving it. You might also benefit from lowering the temperature. Good luck.

I'm a foodie I'm always trying new restaurants and cooking new dishes. Food is one of the greatest parts of life
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

I hate food. I hate making it. I hate eating it. I hate how it feels in my stomach. It's a pain in the ass to keep doing it all the time and nothing ever tastes good anymore. Maybe except white chocolate...

I guess that would make you an anti-foodie, then.  A good-quality white chocolate, though -- The only reason I rarely buy it is that it disappears so fast.
