Oven Temperature Conversion Guide: Fan, Conventional & Gas Mark
Never burn or undercook food again when converting between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Fan ovens.
- Fan ovens circulate hot air more efficiently, so reduce temperature by 20°C (approx. 25°F-50°F) compared to conventional ovens.
- Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion formula: °C = (°F – 32) × 5/9.
- Gas Mark 4 equals 180°C (350°F) conventional, or 160°C fan oven.
- Baking delicate pastries requires precise temperature accuracy; an oven thermometer is highly recommended.

FAQ: Oven Temperature Conversion Guide: Fan, Conventional & Gas Mark
Should I adjust cooking time as well as temperature for fan ovens?
Usually, lowering temperature by 20°C keeps cooking time the same. For quick-baking items (cookies, biscuits), reduce baking time by 5-10 minutes.
