Frequently Asked Questions
Is the temperature the same for gas ovens and electric ovens?
They're generally treated as similar, but actual internal temperatures can vary slightly by oven model, so it's a good idea to check on your food early the first time you try a recipe.
Should I set a different temperature for a fan (convection) oven?
Yes, a fan (convection) oven is typically set about 10-20°C lower than a conventional oven to achieve results similar to the temperature listed in a recipe.
