Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't 350°F convert exactly to 180°C?

The math gives 176.7°C, but oven dials and recipes round that to 180°C by convention — gas mark, Celsius, and Fahrenheit oven scales were each standardized separately, not derived from one exact formula. Recipes use the rounded, practical values, not the raw math.

What is a gas mark?

Gas mark is the temperature scale used on older and UK/Irish gas ovens, running from 1 (lowest) to 9 (highest). It maps to specific Fahrenheit and Celsius settings, shown in the table above, rather than being a direct unit conversion.

Does a fan (convection) oven need a different temperature?

Yes, typically. A common rule of thumb is to lower the temperature by about 20°C (or 25°F) from a conventional oven recipe, or reduce by roughly 10% — since fan ovens circulate hot air and cook faster at the same setting. Check your oven's manual, since the exact adjustment varies by model.
