what is a slow oven?

I am making my great grandmother (who died about 30 years before I was born) ginger bread recipe for the first time and it says to put it in a slow oven until it's cooked (really helpful!).

What is a slow oven? I have put it in at about 130C - does that sound about right?

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

    Sounds like the lower oven in a range (I have 2 ovens in my Rayburn - top hot one and lower cooler one :) ).

    Hi A slow oven is about 140-150C. 130c is classed as a very slow oven. Hope this helps.
