Oven Conversion Table
We’ve started by creating this handy oven conversion table below.
This includes all the temperature conversions you will need in one chart, from fan oven to conventional in °C to °F to gas mark.
Handy when cooking recipes from us and others.
| Fan Oven °C | Conventional Oven °C | °F | Gas Mark |
| 120 | 140 | 275 | 1 |
| 130 | 150 | 300 | 2 |
| 150 | 170 | 325 | 3 |
| 160 | 180 | 350 | 4 |
| 170 | 190 | 375 | 5 |
| 180 | 200 | 400 | 6 |
| 200 | 220 | 425 | 7 |
| 210 | 230 | 450 | 8 |
| 220 | 240 | 475 | 9 |
F to C
Here are a few of the most commonly asked conversions from Fahrenheit to Celcius (°F to °C), including F to fan oven conversion.
300 F to C = 150 °C / 130 °C fan
325 F to C = 170 °C / 150 °C fan
350 F to C = 180°C / 160 °C fan
375 F to C = 190°C / 170 °C fan
400 F to C = 200°C / 180 °C fan
425 F to C = 220°C / 200 °C fan
450 F to C = 230°C / 210 °C fan
475 F to C = 240 °C / 220 °C fan
C to F
And here are the same conversions, only the other way around from Fan °C or conventional oven Celcius to Fahrenheit.
130 °C fan / 150 C to F = 300°F
150 °C fan / 170 C to F = 325°F
160 °C fan / 180 C to F = 350°F
170 °C fan / 190 C to F = 375°F
180 °C fan / 200 C to F = 400°F
200 °C fan / 220 C to F = 425°F
210 °C fan / 230 C to F = 450°F
220 °C fan / 240 C to F = 475°F
Electric Oven to Fan Conversion
Converting recipes from a regular electric oven without a fan to an electric fan oven is easy; reduce the heat by 20°C or use our conversion below.
| Electric Fan Oven | Electric Oven (no fan) |
|---|---|
| 130°C | 150°C |
| 150°C | 170°C |
| 160°C | 180°C |
| 170°C | 190°C |
| 180°C | 200°C |
| 200°C | 220°C |
| 210°C | 230°C |
| 220°C | 240°C |
What's the difference between Celsius and Centigrade?
Celsius and Centigrade are two different names for the same temperature.

Fan 210°C / 230 C to Gas Mark = 8
Fan 220°C / 240 C to Gas Mark = 9
F to Gas Mark
Looking to convert a recipe from Fahrenheit to gas mark? Here are the conversions you need.
300 F to Gas Mark = 2
325 F to Gas Mark = 3
350 F to Gas Mark = 4
375 F to Gas Mark = 5
400 F to Gas Mark = 6

What is a Fan-assisted Oven?
A fan-assisted oven is also known as a fan-forced oven, electric fan oven or convection oven. It has a top and bottom heating element with a fan at the back to help evenly cook.
It's easy to see why fan-assisted ovens are so popular. They offer better results with less time and temperature sensitivity. Fan ovens are perfect for cooking crispy Yorkshire Puddings.
You can also batch cook on multiple oven shelves without sacrificing your dishes!
Do Americans have Fan assisted ovens?
Usually, no. Most American homes don’t have convection ovens.
So you'll need to convert a recipe yourself if not already given.
In our recipes, we give all the conversions for f to c, including fan and gas mark.
What is a Conventional Oven?
A conventional oven has two heating elements that heat the air inside the oven to cook food.
The bottom heating element is used for most cooking and baking, while the top one browns items like meats giving that crispy skin you love so much.
Cakes are often better cooked in ovens without the fan mode, such as our Chocolate Victoria Sponge.
What oven do we use?
Another question we often get asked is, 'What oven do we use in our recipes?'
We use a fan assisted electric double range oven made by Britannia for all the recipes seen on our blog which use an oven.
We also have a gas oven in our motorhome to cook our recipes on our travels! Our friends and family also test our recipes using other appliances too.
Cooking can be a tricky business - especially when it comes to temperature conversions. Ovens typically use degrees Fahrenheit in the US, while British recipes call for degrees Celsius.
We hope these oven temperature conversions helped you convert Celsius, Fahrenheit and Gas Mark; please share on social media to help others!

Hi - I tried cooking a small turkey crown (1.4 kg) in a fan oven according to the packaging label directions and it turned out to be undercooked. At first I suspected that 160c fan was not the equivalent of 180c non fan and used your useful chart to check this out and found it was indeed correct
The cooking directions were:-
'Pre heat oven to 180 or 160c fan, Place the turkey crown in the foil container into a roasting tin. Measure out 200ml of cold water and pour into the foil container around the crown. Cover the crown with foil and place in the centre of the oven. During cooking: Remove the foil 30 minutes before the end of cooking, baste and return to the oven to allow the skin to become golden brown. After cooking: Once cooked, remove the crown from the oven, check food is piping hot and no pink colour remains. Cover with foil and allow to rest for 30 minutes before carving.'
There was no indication of the correct internal temperatures or checking for clear juices. However I did push a skewer into the meat and the juices ran clear. The meat did not carve well, seamed to be steamed rather than roast and looked to be undercooked. Do you think that the foil cover and water in the tray prevent proper circulation of the hot air necessary for roasting a turkey crown properly in a fan oven?
Thanks

Thanks for the comment Lisa; glad our conversion table helped, we have got a Turkey Crown Cooking Time and Tips guide which has a lot of 5* reviews and gets used by us and our family over the holidays and turkey comes out great every time 🙂
Hope this helps, and that you enjoy your turkey in the future 😉
