What is the Aga Bottom Oven Temperature?

In a 5 oven Aga, there are 3 bottoms ovens; the warming oven, the baking oven, and the simmering oven. Each has their own set temperature as outlined in the table below. Of course, the various models have different layouts and ovens, but the average temperatures should remain the same.

Smaller Agas will have different oven layouts, therefore different bottoms ovens. For example:

• 4 Oven Aga Cookers - Warming Oven, Baking Oven
• 3 Oven Aga Cookers - Baking Oven, Simmering Oven
• 2 Oven Aga Cookers - Simmering Oven
