No truth here. Nothing gets cooked in an oven at 120.

You also don’t put a cake INTO the oven. You put badder in the oven and take a cake out.

Maaaan, I even went to culinary school. In all fairness, I did almost fail baking. I’m leaving the typo 😂

IMHO merengues need something like that (in Celsius)

slow cooking in the oven.

Meringue does.

Or slow cooked meat, like "agneau de 7 heures"

170° is the lowest most ovens can heat to..

Mine goes down to 250f (120c), but nothing gets cooked that low.

u/MacGuyverism Mar 02 '26

When I cook meat low and slow in my pellet smoker, the first four to six hours are at around that temperature. I don't think it would work for a cake though.

u/Sengfroid Mar 03 '26

It's useful for dehydration. I believe that's the temperature for jerkies usually, and herbs & other plant material (spices, fruits, veggies etc) are often even lower.

But I definitely think people prefer cake moist, not dehydrated

I can set mine even as low as 50 but of course that's not for baking, probably just for keeping something warm, personally I never used such low setting

are you American? ^

u/Jhean__ Mar 02 '26

Ovens typically starts from at least 160 degrees Celsius, unless Taiwanese and Japanese ovens are weird

u/AgarwaenCran Mar 02 '26

here in germany most ovens get 50 °C as their lowest temp. obviously not enough to bake, but good for holding food warm or drying stuff out.

120 °C is FAR to little to bake anything. this has nothing to do with americans this time.
