It's all the same heat, just different languages. We translate it for you so you don't burn the roast just because the recipe was written in London instead of New York.
What Does This Tool Do?

Mastering Oven Temperature Conversions
Find the recipe temperature
Locate the temperature in your recipe—it could be in Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Gas Mark.
Select your starting unit
Choose whether the recipe uses °C, °F, or Gas Mark.
Enter the temperature
Type in the number. For Gas Mark, use whole numbers or halves (e.g., Gas Mark 4.5).
See all equivalents
The tool shows you the temperature in all three units simultaneously.
Adjust for your oven
If you have a fan oven, reduce the temperature by 20°C. Use an oven thermometer to verify.
Tips & Tricks
Memorize common conversions: 180°C = 350°F = Gas Mark 4, 200°C = 400°F = Gas Mark 6.
Fan ovens cook faster—reduce temperature by 20°C or check 10-15 minutes early.
Invest in an oven thermometer—most ovens are inaccurate by 10-25°C.
For delicate baked goods, preheat thoroughly before putting them in.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not adjusting for fan ovens—this is the #1 reason baked goods burn or undercook.
Trusting the oven dial—always verify with a thermometer.
Converting and then rounding incorrectly—small temperature differences matter for baking.
