Set your oven to this

No oven dial has a 428 °F mark. Recipes treat 220 °C and 425 °F as the same setting — gas mark 7 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 200 °C.

220 °C is a genuinely hot oven — the setting for the first ten minutes of a loaf of bread, for blistering vegetables, for roasting at speed and for pizza on a stone. At this temperature timing starts to matter far more than it does lower down the dial.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is 220 °C in Fahrenheit?
220 °C is exactly 428 °F. As an oven setting, use 425 °F — the dial mark recipes mean, which is gas mark 7. In a fan oven, set 200 °C.
Is 220 °C the same as 425 °F?
As an oven setting, yes. Exactly it is 428 °F, and 425 °F is the standard dial equivalent used in recipe conversion.
What is 220 °C in a fan oven?
Set a fan oven to 200 °C.
Is 220 °C too hot for roasting vegetables?
No — it is close to ideal. Root vegetables and brassicas need high heat to caramelise before they steam themselves soft. Use a hot tray, plenty of space and enough oil to coat.
