If however, the recipe is stating fan oven temperature, (and often is in TV programmes), here is an example: 180 ☌ fan oven = 200 ☌ regular oven = 400 ☏ = Gas mark 6. The reason for this, is the fan oven, circulates the heat better, so in turn can bake the food quicker. Also, it’s good practice to check your bake a little before the recommended bake time if you are using a fan assisted oven and the recipe is designed for an oven without a fan. For Fahrenheit ovens (with a fan oven), the corresponding temperature would be 350 ☏. So for example, if a recipe has stated just 180 ☌, and you have a fan assisted oven, set to 160 ☌. Note that these fan assisted ovens, are hotter and so when setting the temperatures, you do so to approximately 20 ☌ lower than the standard oven temperature. ☌, and secondly the Fan oven (also known as convection), that will be listed as. So just to clarify, in the UK we have 2 types of ☌ oven temperatures: regular or standard ovens (also known as conventional), which will be simply listed as. What confuses these bakers even more when they want to bake something using a UK recipe, is that there is also often listed a Fan Oven temperature too. US & Canadian bakers have ovens which have their temperatures in ° F (Fahrenheit) and these numbers are much higher, (nearly double the ☌ temperature). ![]() So in the UK, we use ° C (Celsius) or Gas mark in our ovens. My recipes cover all types of oven temperatures because my recipe followers are from all around the world, but I thought it useful to make up this handy table for you to save and print off for future reference. I am often hearing fans of the Great British Bake Off (Great British Baking Show) asking about the different types of oven temperatures that exist. Oven Temperature Conversions Table By Caro
