Set your oven to this
No oven dial has a 446 °F mark. Recipes treat 230 °C and 450 °F as the same setting — gas mark 8 — and the gap between them is smaller than the swing of a domestic thermostat. Set a fan-forced oven to 210 °C.
230 °C is near the top of a domestic oven — the setting for pizza, flatbreads, the opening blast on sourdough and anything that needs to blister rather than bake.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is 230 °C in Fahrenheit?
230 °C is exactly 446 °F. As an oven setting, use 450 °F — the dial mark recipes mean, which is gas mark 8. In a fan oven, set 210 °C.
Is 230 °C the same as 450 °F?
As an oven setting, yes. Exactly it is 446 °F, and 450 °F is the standard dial equivalent.
What is 230 °C in a fan oven?
Set a fan oven to 210 °C.
Can a normal oven reach 230 °C?
Most domestic ovens top out between 240 °C and 260 °C, so 230 °C is reachable — but give it a full 20 minutes to preheat, and longer if you are heating a stone or steel.
