Oven temperature conversion chart
The complete bloggers' guide to oven temperatures around the world.
I cook in centigrade; Americans use fahrenheit; other English cooks use gas; anyone consulting an old cookery book will have come across terms which are apparently vague (such as moderate), but which are actually quite precise - and also very useful to anyone using a fire to cook.
I'm always having to look them up in a variety of places. So here they all are:
| Fahrenheit | Celsius | Gas Mark | Heat of Oven |
| 225° | 110° | 1/4 | Very cool |
| 250 | 120 | 1/2 | Very cool |
| 275 | 140 | 1 | Cool |
| 300 | 150 | 2 | Cool |
| 325 | 160 | 3 | Moderate |
| 350 | 180 | 4 | Moderate |
| 375 | 190 | 5 | Moderately hot |
| 400 | 200 | 6 | Moderately hot |
| 425 | 220 | 7 | Hot |
| 450 | 230 | 8 | Hot |
| 475 | 240 | 9 | Very hot |

Thank you. I'm always checking temperature converters on the net. Going to print this out and pop it on my pinboard. :)
Recipies that only give you one cooking temp drives me nuts and puts me off cooking baking etc, thank you and thank you google
I'm afraid I'm guilty there, Jessie, as I've stopped thinking in Farenheit, although I began cooking in F. But some of the US blogs I like tempt me, and then I need a conversion chart. Funnily enough, as I also cook on a wood stove, the really old-fashioned directions (hot, moderately hot, very hot, etc) mean more to me these days
Thanks for kind words
Joanna
