#InTheKitchen – Gas/Electric Oven Conversions

I grew up with electric ovens and in my first 3 houses had electric ovens, but I could never bake a cake.  It would sink spectacularly and frustrate me no end, because I wasn’t doing anything wrong.

When the time came for me to buy my own oven… I decided on a standalone gas cooker.  Not only because it was over £100 cheaper but because I fancied a change.  (Now my cakes rise spectacularly and the only difference is the change from electric to gas.)

Being the only person I know with a gas oven, I often have to look up the gas mark equivalent because family recipes are given in Celsius.

With this I’ve come across a number of variations and still use my gut for the vast majority of cooking.  The following table represents the most common answers.

 

The majority of recipes give the equivalent gas mark to Fahrenheit to Celsius but in case they don’t you know where to come.
