Set your oven to this
No oven dial has a 284 °F mark. Recipes treat 140 °C and 275 °F as the same setting — gas mark 1 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 120 °C.
140 °C is a cool oven — used for very slow braises, for drying and for the long, low bakes that a rich Christmas cake needs if the outside is not to burn before the middle sets.
