Oven Temperature Converter
Translate conventional-oven recipe temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius with the standard formula, or find the nearest Gas Mark 1–9 from a published cooking chart. Gas marks are discrete recipe settings, so Figur labels them approximate instead of implying false precision. Fan ovens, appliance calibration, cooking time, and food doneness are separate.
Oven Temperature Converter
Translate conventional-oven recipe temperatures between Fahrenheit and Celsius with the standard formula, or find the nearest Gas Mark 1–9 from a published cooking chart. Gas marks are discrete recipe settings, so Figur labels them approximate instead of implying false precision. Fan ovens, appliance calibration, cooking time, and food doneness are separate.
Method and assumptions
Figur converts Celsius and Fahrenheit with °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 and °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. For gas marks, it uses the published 1–9 chart and selects the nearest row in the source scale.
- The temperature applies to a conventional oven, not a fan or convection adjustment.
- Gas marks are discrete settings; their published Celsius and Fahrenheit values are rounded and are displayed as approximations.
- The recipe, appliance, and rack position may require instructions beyond a simple scale conversion.
Recipe-conversion reference only. It does not calibrate an oven, predict cooking time or doneness, or guarantee food safety. Follow the recipe, appliance manual, and applicable safe internal-temperature guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a gas-mark result say approximate?
Gas marks are discrete settings, while Celsius and Fahrenheit are continuous scales. Figur chooses the nearest published chart row and shows its paired temperatures.
Does this adjust a recipe for a fan oven?
No. Fan and convection adjustments depend on the recipe and appliance. Use the recipe and oven manufacturer’s directions rather than treating one universal offset as guaranteed.
