gas oven tempreture?

is it true that with a gas oven when the tempreture is reached the gas flame dies down to a low flame or should it stay at the same height on that gas mark you are using . in other words if i warm the oven up at gas mark 5 the height of the flame will always be the same or will the flame die down when gas mark 5 is reached. tx for any help regards horse1uk

Ovens do not work in the same way as a hob or grill as it needs to maintain specific temperatures. Therefore, gas is regulated by a temperature regulator within the oven. When you initially switch on the oven, it should, after a few seconds, open up to full power. When the required temperature has been reached, the flame should then settle down to the size required to maintain temperature.
