Temperature conversion
July 27, 2008
Just about every food website in the world, along with the majority of recipe or culinary training books have an oven temperature conversion table.
Well, here is another one. Not just because I so love typing out tables of data, but also because this site(blog) contains a number of recipes and it seems only right to provide all of the info that you need to cook them in the same place.
I’ve added a separate column for fan assisted ovens in °C, the general rule is that you subtract 20°C (about 36°F) when using a fan oven.
| °C | °F | |
| Water freezes | 0 | 32 |
| Water boils | 100 | 212 |
Oven Temperatures
| °C | °C (fan) | °F | Gas Mark | |
| Very cool | 110 | 90 | 225 | ¼ |
| 130 | 110 | 250 | ½ | |
| Cool | 140 | 120 | 275 | 1 |
| 150 | 130 | 300 | 2 | |
| Moderate | 170 | 150 | 325 | 3 |
| 180 | 160 | 350 | 4 | |
| Moderately hot | 190 | 170 | 375 | 5 |
| 200 | 180 | 400 | 6 | |
| Hot | 220 | 200 | 425 | 7 |
| 230 | 210 | 450 | 8 | |
| Very hot | 240 | 220 | 475 | 9 |
For anyone interested the formula for converting between For any temps that aren’t listed here, don’t forget that you can always use Google for just about type of conversion, simply by typing the amount you want to convert and the from and to units into the search bar.

Thank you! I wondered why everything was overcooked or burned in my new fan oven even though I followed the recipes.
