Name That Temp
August 11, 2009
This is why I hate gas ovens. There is NO temperature mark on the dial, so it’s just a wild guess what the actual oven temperature is. So far, it’s been working but it always freaks me out. I hear they actually make gas ovens with a real temperature setting, but I have yet to see one.
The dial to the far right is the oven “temperature”. What temp would you say that is?

And I have absolutely no clue about this Fahrenheit madness!
For what I’ve discovered:
350= horno mínimo
400= horno mediano
500= horno máximo
As a rule… cakes go mínimo, a savory pie mediano, and a chicken máximo.
Thanks for the estimate! That totally helps. I am just used to more exact recipes and ovens, though recent results have all been successful.
I just came across this site. I now WORSHIP Shirley!! Hope this is helpful to you:

Our oven is finicky and also a gas oven. We bought a temp gauge that hangs on one of the bars. It has helped a lot. I guess you could think of it in terms of flame size. Lots of times a recipe will state, low flame or high flame.
