How to Use the Converter
- Type your oven temperature and select the scale: Celsius, Fahrenheit, Gas Mark, or Fan (Celsius - for convection ovens).
- Choose the unit you want to convert to and hit Convert.
- All temperature equivalents are shown. Use Copy All for easy reference or sharing.
- Use Sample for a typical baking conversion (e.g., 180°C), or Reset to clear inputs.
Example: 180°C to Other Units
- Input: 180°C
- Output:
- Fahrenheit: 355°F
- Gas Mark: 4
- Fan (Celsius): 160°C
Tip: Most cakes and cookies bake at 180°C / 355°F / Gas Mark 4 / 160°C Fan.
Assumptions & Technical Notes
- Gas Mark scale: UK system (fractional values below Gas 1 for low temperatures). Rounds decimals where needed.
- Fan (Convection) temp: Typically 20°C lower than standard oven for the same effect.
- Converted values are approximate; always check your individual oven's quirks.
- Not precise for ultra-low heat (slow cook) or extreme broiling/grilling.
Oven Temperature Conversion FAQ
How do I convert Gas Mark to Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Gas Mark is mostly used in UK recipes. Use this tool, or know that: Gas 4 ≈ 180°C ≈ 355°F, Gas 6 ≈ 200°C ≈ 390°F, etc.
What's the difference between fan-assisted and regular oven temperatures?
Fan ovens (convection) distribute heat more evenly, so recipes usually ask for a temperature about 20°C (50°F) lower than regular ovens.
Why are Gas Marks sometimes shown as fractions (e.g., 1/2)?
Fractions represent temperatures lower than Gas 1, often for slow or gentle cooking, like meringues or slow roasts.
Is this tool accurate for every oven?
Most ovens vary slightly, so values are guidelines. Always monitor your food and know your own oven's quirks.
What is Gas mark 6 in Celsius?
Gas Mark 6 is approximately 200°C (or 390°F), and about 180°C in a fan oven.
