4. Scroll the table to find any Gas Mark from 1 to 9.

## Formulas

```
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

Gas Mark reference (exact lookup):
  Gas 1 = 275°F / 135°C
  Gas 2 = 300°F / 150°C
  Gas 3 = 325°F / 160°C
  Gas 4 = 350°F / 175°C
  Gas 5 = 375°F / 190°C
  Gas 6 = 400°F / 200°C
  Gas 7 = 425°F / 220°C
  Gas 8 = 450°F / 230°C
  Gas 9 = 475°F / 240°C

Oven descriptions:
  Cool:     below 325°F
  Moderate: 325–375°F
  Hot:      376–450°F
  Very Hot: above 450°F
```

## Worked example

A British recipe calls for Gas Mark 6:
```
Gas 6 = 400°F = 200°C = Hot oven
```

An American recipe calls for 350°F:
```
350°F = 177°C ≈ Gas Mark 4 = Moderate oven
```

## Notes

- Oven thermometers are inexpensive and worth buying — most domestic ovens are off by 25°F or more.
- Fan-assisted (convection) ovens cook about 25°F hotter than conventional ovens. Reduce the recipe temperature by 25°F or Gas Mark 1 when using a convection setting.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Gas Mark 4 in Fahrenheit?

Gas Mark 4 is 350°F (approximately 175°C). It is the most commonly called-for oven temperature in British and Irish recipes — sometimes called a moderate oven.

### What is the Gas Mark scale?

The Gas Mark system is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to describe oven temperatures on gas cookers. Gas Mark 1 is the coolest (275°F / 135°C) and Gas Mark 9 is the hottest (475°F / 240°C). Each mark represents a rise of 25°F.

### How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit for ovens?

Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, 180°C = (180 × 9/5) + 32 = 324 + 32 = 356°F.

### What does a moderate oven mean?

A moderate oven is 325–375°F (160–190°C, Gas 3–5). Most baked goods and roasts cook in this range.

### What is a cool oven?

A cool oven is below 325°F (160°C, Gas 1–2). Used for slow-drying meringues, warming bread, or slow roasting.
