Oven Temperature Converter
Convert oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and gas marks instantly. Free online oven temperature converter for baking — perfect for following recipes from any country.
Understanding Oven Temperature Conversions
Oven temperatures use different scales worldwide. The US uses Fahrenheit while Europe uses Celsius. UK recipes reference gas marks. Converting between these scales ensures your baked goods turn out correctly.
Temperature accuracy affects baking results. Too hot and your food burns outside while staying raw inside. Too cool and your baked goods fail to rise properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gas mark 4 in Celsius?
Gas mark 4 equals 350°F or 180°C. This is the standard baking temperature for most cakes, cookies, and roasted vegetables.
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius quickly?
Subtract 30 from Fahrenheit then divide by 2 for a rough estimate. For exact conversion, subtract 32, multiply by 5, then divide by 9.
Why do UK recipes use gas marks?
Gas marks originated in the UK when gas ovens became common. The system numbers heat levels from 1 to 9. Modern UK recipes now use Celsius alongside gas marks.
Should I adjust temperature for convection ovens?
Yes. Reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) for convection ovens. Fan circulation cooks food faster and more evenly. Check food 5-10 minutes earlier than recipe times.
