How to use oven temperature conversions
- Use the temperature exactly as written in the recipe, then choose Celsius, Fahrenheit, or gas mark.
- For most baking, use the nearest standard oven setting rather than chasing a decimal result.
- If your oven is fan-assisted or convection, reduce the conventional temperature by about 20°C or 25°F as a starting point.
- Watch delicate bakes near the end of the cooking time because ovens can run hotter or cooler than the dial says.
