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.
