📐 Formula
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32
°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Gas Mark ≈ (°C - 125) / 14💡 How It Works
- •Different countries use different temperature units: US uses Fahrenheit (°F), Europe uses Celsius (°C), UK uses Gas Mark.
- •Gas Mark is a temperature scale used on gas ovens in the UK and Ireland.
- •Gas Mark 1 = 140°C (275°F), and each mark increases by approximately 14°C.
- •Most baking occurs in the 160-200°C (325-400°F) range.
- •Pizza needs high heat (220°C+), while slow cooking uses low heat (130-150°C).
❓ FAQ
Q. What is Gas Mark?
A. Gas Mark is a temperature scale used on gas ovens in the UK and Ireland. Gas Mark 1 is 140°C, Gas Mark 4 is 180°C, and Gas Mark 6 is 200°C.
Q. The recipe says 350°F - what is that in Celsius?
A. 350°F is approximately 175-180°C. This is a standard temperature used in most cake and cookie recipes.
Q. How do I adjust temperature for a fan/convection oven?
A. Fan ovens circulate heat more efficiently. Set the temperature 20°C (about 25°F) lower than conventional ovens, or reduce cooking time by 10-15%.
Q. What temperature for homemade pizza?
A. Use your oven's maximum temperature (usually 230-250°C). A pizza stone helps achieve better results.
Q. What is low temperature cooking?
A. Low temperature cooking (slow cooking) is typically done at 120-150°C (250-300°F) for extended periods. It's ideal for tenderizing tough cuts of meat.
