300 °F

Set your oven to this

No oven dial has a 302 °F mark. Recipes treat 150 °C and 300 °F as the same setting — gas mark 2 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 130 °C.

150 °C is the low-and-slow setting: braises, pulled pork, slow-cooked shoulders and rich fruit cakes that need hours rather than minutes. At this temperature collagen breaks down without the meat drying out.
