Set your oven to this
No oven dial has a 148.9 °C mark. Recipes treat 300 °F and 150 °C 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.
300 °F is low-and-slow: braises, pulled pork, brisket and ribs left for hours until the connective tissue gives way. On a metric oven it is 150 °C.
