Convert oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and gas mark, and see the fan oven equivalent at a glance.
Fan ovens cook hotter, so use a temperature about 20 °C lower than for a conventional oven. Check your oven manual, as brands vary.

Recipes use Celsius, Fahrenheit or gas mark depending on where they were written. This converter switches between all three and gives the fan oven equivalent, which is usually about 20°C lower than a conventional oven. Ovens vary, so an oven thermometer is the best way to check yours.
180°C is 350°F, or gas mark 4. It is one of the most common baking temperatures.
Lower the temperature by about 20°C. For example, 180°C in a conventional oven is around 160°C in a fan oven.
No. Gas marks are a numbered scale used on British gas ovens, and each step is roughly 14°C or 25°F. Gas mark 1 is about 140°C (275°F).
