Oven Temperatures: Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Gas Mark in One Place
Recipes cross borders, but ovens do not. One conversion keeps an old family recipe and a new cookbook on the same page.
What is the Oven Temperature Converter?
This converter translates one oven temperature into Celsius, Fahrenheit, and gas mark equivalents, plus a plain description of the heat level. Gas marks are approximate because ovens vary, so treat the result as a guide and check your own oven with a thermometer if results seem off.
How to use it
- Enter the oven temperature.
- Choose the unit it is written in.
- Click Convert Temperature to see all three scales.
Worked example
180 C converts to 356 F and about gas mark 4, described as a moderately hot oven.
What gas mark is 180 C?
About gas mark 4, which converts to 356 F and counts as a moderately hot oven.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my gas mark slightly different from a cookbook?
Gas mark scales are rounded and ovens vary, so small differences of half a mark are normal.
Should I trust the dial or a thermometer?
A thermometer. Dial markings drift with age, so an oven thermometer gives the truest reading.
