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.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is 150 °C in Fahrenheit?
150 °C is exactly 302 °F. As an oven setting, use 300 °F — the dial mark recipes mean, which is gas mark 2. In a fan oven, set 130 °C.
Is 150 °C the same as 300 °F?
As an oven setting, yes. The exact conversion is 302 °F, which is effectively the 300 °F dial mark.
What is 150 °C in a fan oven?
Set a fan oven to 130 °C.
Is 150 °C hot enough to cook meat safely?
Yes. Oven temperature and internal temperature are different things — a 150 °C oven will take a joint well past the safe internal temperature, it simply takes longer, which is the point of slow roasting.
