About this calculator

UK gas ovens are still calibrated in Gas Marks (1 to 9), inherited from early 20th-century gas-stove makers. Mark 1 = 275 °F; each mark adds ~25 °F. Common targets: Mark 4 = 350 °F (baking), Mark 5 = 375 °F (cookies), Mark 6 = 400 °F (roast), Mark 7 = 425 °F (pizza), Mark 8 = 450 °F (high roast). The "Slow oven" / quarter mark settings (¼, ½, S) range 225-265 °F, used for rendering, low-and-slow braise, drying.

Frequently asked

Pre-thermostat gas ovens used a mechanical valve marked 1-9. The scale outlived the technology. Modern UK gas ovens print both marks and °C.
