🇬🇧 Understanding Gas Mark

Gas Mark is an old British standard still used on many UK ovens. It's a numbered scale that corresponds to specific temperatures. If your recipe mentions "Gas Mark 4," use our converter to find the equivalent in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Gas Mark 1-3

Slow baking & roasting

275°F - 325°F (135°C - 160°C)

Gas Mark 4-6

Standard baking & roasting

350°F - 400°F (175°C - 200°C)

Gas Mark 7-9

High heat & pizza

425°F - 475°F (220°C - 245°C)

Temperature Conversion Formula

Celsius to Fahrenheit:

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

Example: 175°C = (175 × 9/5) + 32 = 347°F

Fahrenheit to Celsius:

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9

Example: 350°F = (350 - 32) × 5/9 = 176.7°C

Quick Tip for Bakers

Most ovens round to the nearest 5 or 10 degrees, so don't stress about exact conversions. 350°F (175°C) and 175°C (347°F) are close enough for most baking purposes.

🌍 International Oven Standards

🇺🇸 United States

  • • Temperature Scale: Fahrenheit (°F)
  • • Standard Baking: 350°F (175°C)
  • • Most American recipes use Fahrenheit

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

  • • Temperature Scale: Celsius (°C) & Gas Mark
  • • Standard Baking: 180°C / Gas Mark 4
  • • Older ovens use Gas Mark exclusively

🇪🇺 Europe

  • • Temperature Scale: Celsius (°C)
  • • Standard Baking: 180-200°C
  • • Metric system throughout

🇦🇺 Australia & New Zealand

  • • Temperature Scale: Celsius (°C)
  • • Standard Baking: 180°C
  • • Same as European standards

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my oven temperature seem off?

Many ovens don't maintain exact temperatures. Buy a simple oven thermometer ($5-10) to check accuracy. Place it in the middle of your oven, preheat for 20 minutes, and read the temperature. If it's off by more than 25°F, consider having it serviced.

What does 'fan oven' mean and how is it different?

Fan (or convection) ovens circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly than traditional ovens. Generally, reduce the temperature by 20°C (about 70°F) or reduce cooking time by 20%. Use our converter's 'Fan Oven' option to see the adjustment automatically.

Can I convert an American recipe to use my European oven?

Absolutely! Use this converter to change the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Most European recipes use 180°C (350-360°F) as standard, while US recipes often call for 350°F. Download our chart as a reference while cooking.

What's the difference between Gas Mark and Celsius?

Gas Mark is a British system used on older ovens, numbered 1-9. Each mark corresponds to a specific temperature. Our chart shows the equivalents: Gas Mark 4 = 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 6 = 200°C (400°F), etc.

Why does my baking turn out differently at altitude?

At higher altitudes, air pressure is lower, which affects boiling points and rising times. Above 3,000 feet (900m), increase oven temperature by 15-25°F, reduce sugar slightly, and add more liquid. Consult altitude-specific baking guides for best results.

Can I print the temperature chart directly?

Yes! Use our 'Download PDF' or 'Print' buttons to get a high-quality printable version. Choose your preferred paper size (A4 or Letter), customize the range, and print directly or save as PDF. You can also customize the style (kitchen, minimal) for your needs.
