Oven Temperatures

After some research, I have come up with an Oven Temperature Chart. For those of you who have a Gas Mark Oven, could you please let me know what the setting would be for 500°.

Degrees Fahrenheit	Degrees Celsius	Gas Mark	Description
225	110	1/4	Very Slow
250	120/130	1/2	Very Slow
275	140	1	Slow
300	150	2	Slow
325	160/170	3	Moderate
350	180	4	Moderately Slow
375	190	5	Moderately Hot
400	200	6	Moderately Hot
425	220	7	Hot
450	230	8	Hot
475	240	9	Very Hot
500	260		Very Hot
Broil		Grill	Very Hot

This is a guide only and not exact conversions.

As a rule of thumb Celsius is roughly half the Fahrenheit temperature.

Fan assisted ovens are usually set approximately 25° Celsius (i.e. approximately 50° Fahrenheit) lower than others and cooking time is reduced by 10 minutes for every hour of cooking time.
