Pro Tip: Oven Thermometers
Most home ovens are off by 25-50°F! The dial is rarely accurate. An inexpensive hanging oven thermometer is the best investment for better baking results.
Oven Temperature Conversion Chart & Calculator
Finding an old British recipe that calls for "Gas Mark 4" or a European one using Celsius? Don't let conversion confusion burn your biscuits. Our Baking Temperature Converter instantly switches between Fahrenheit (°F), Celsius (°C), and Gas Marks. It also calculates the adjustment needed for modern Fan / Convection Ovens, which typically cook faster than conventional setting.
How to Convert Temperatures
- Enter Current Temp: Type the number you have into the Fahrenheit or Celsius box.
- Check Fan Adjustment: If you are using a Fan/Convection oven, use the "Fan Oven" value (usually 20-25°C lower).
- Gas Mark: The tool automatically finds the nearest Gas Mark setting for older ovens.
- Quick Reference:
- 350°F = 180°C = Gas Mark 4 (Moderate)
- 400°F = 200°C = Gas Mark 6 (Hot)
- 300°F = 150°C = Gas Mark 2 (Slow)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference for Fan ovens?▼
Fan (Convection) ovens blow hot air around the food, cooking it faster and more evenly. You generally need to reduce the temperature by 25°F (20°C) to match a conventional oven recipe.
Why does my oven burn everything?▼
Oven dials are often inaccurate. Your "350°F" setting might actually be 375°F. We highly recommend buying an inexpensive oven thermometer to hang inside so you know the real temperature.
What is Gas Mark?▼
Gas Mark is a scale used on gas ovens in the UK and Ireland. It adjusts the gas flow to regulate heat. Gas Mark 1 is roughly 275°F (Cool), while Gas Mark 8 is 450°F (Very Hot).
