Frequently Asked Questions

What is 350°F in Celsius and Gas Mark?

350°F equals approximately 180°C (160°C in a fan-forced oven) and corresponds to British Gas Mark 4.

Why do convection ovens need lower temperatures?

Convection ovens use internal fans to circulate hot air continuously over food, stripping the insulating thermal boundary layer and accelerating heat transfer.
