How it works
- Enter your recipe's temperature and its oven type.
- Choose the oven type you're actually baking with.
- Get the adjusted temperature for conventional, fan, and gas mark.
The method
Standard baking conversion offsets are applied between conventional, fan/convection, and gas mark ovens, based on widely used recipe conversion charts.
FAQ
Why is a fan oven set lower than a conventional oven?
A fan/convection oven circulates hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly, so recipes typically drop the set temperature by about 20°F (10-20°C) compared to a conventional oven.
What is gas mark?
Gas mark is a UK oven temperature scale used mainly on gas ovens, roughly corresponding to specific Fahrenheit and Celsius values — for example gas mark 4 is about 350°F/180°C.
Should I always convert, or just estimate?
For most baking a rough 20°F/10°C adjustment for fan ovens works, but exact conversion matters more for temperature-sensitive bakes like bread and pastry.
