Hi - I have found an Aga recipe for a Guinness Fruit Cake. It says to bake for 1.5 hours in either the roasting oven or the baking oven depending on what kind of Aga you have :confused: . Does anyone know how this converts to centigrade please?!

    So you're asking "how do I convert an aga temperature to an oven one?"

    yes. Thought it might be useful to say what I was trying to do, because I am under the impression that Agas are not an exact science.

    :) You're right there!

    I couldn't find anything on line (but I'm rubbish at searching) but we do have a number of aga (and raeburn) users on the forum, so maybe one of them will kindly be able to measure the actual temperature of their baking oven and let you know.

    It may take a while :)

    yes. I had a seach too but not with any success. I'm not in any hurry. I suppose really I could just check my other fruitcake recipes and see what they are.

    Duh! <--- that's aimed at me :)

    You're right - they should all be similar temperatures and times :)
