If you’re new to the world of Aga cookers, the various ovens, their functions and temperatures can be hard to get to grips with. But, to make things a little easier, in this article we are taking a look at Aga bottom oven temperatures. Hopefully, this will help you understand how to use your Aga cooker effectively, and what you can use it for.

So, what is the temperature of the bottom oven of an Aga? Aga bottom oven temperatures range from 65°C – 93°C in the warming oven, from 107°C – 135°C in the simmering oven, and 176°C – 204°C in the baking oven. However, which bottom ovens you have will depend on your model.

Read on to learn more about Aga bottom oven temperatures and what you can cook in them.

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

Whether you’re interested in a 2 oven Aga or a 5 oven Aga, your options for what you can cook in the bottom ovens are endless. The sky truly is the limit with Aga cooking!

In the baking oven you can cook anything from cakes and cookies to bread, cheesecakes, and more – you’re not just limited to what you traditionally class as baking!
