130°C oven temperature
130°C = 110°C fan = gas mark 1/2 = 266°F
Very cool oven — very slow braises, overnight cooking.
Setting 130°C on a gas oven
130°C is exactly gas mark 1/2, so a gas oven can be set to it directly.

Frequently asked questions
What is 130°C in a fan oven?
110°C. Subtract 20°C from a conventional-oven temperature to get the fan equivalent.
Can a gas oven be set to 130°C?
130°C is exactly gas mark 1/2, so a gas oven can be set to it directly.
What gas mark is 130°C?
Gas mark 1/2, which is 250°F and conventionally written as 130°C.
What is 130°C in Fahrenheit?
266°F exactly. Recipes usually write it as 250°F, the gas mark step it sits closest to.
