What is the lowest temp?

Question

My oven at home does not have a "warm" setting. The lowest temp it has on the k**b is 200 degrees. I could probably just get up and try it, but I am too lazy from a long day at work...if you turn the oven on, but not all the way to the 200 degrees point, will it heat up, or just let out gas? I know it's a dumb question. I was baking pretzels yesterday, and it took forever to proof the dough because I don't have a proofer. So help me out...will it heat up to a temp lower than 200, or is that it? Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

It has to be hot enough to keep bacteria from forming.

Answer 2

The best way to find out is to get an oven thermometer and try it out. Mine will go lower but it does have a setting just marked "warm".

Answer 3

Mine will only go as low as 200.  Not a dumb ?....:)

Answer 4

the lowest temp for your oven is " room "  

Answer 5

Absolute Zero

−459.67 °F

Good luck getting that

Answer 6

Experiment time, eh?

Well, what's wrong with an oven thermometer and varying the settings with a pencil and a pad?

When proofing would a tray of boiling water in the oven help?

That's all I got!
