190 °C is the setting recipes choose when 180 °C would be too timid and 200 °C too fierce — muffins, scones, sausage rolls, crumbles and most enriched doughs live here. It is a genuine rung on the gas dial, gas mark 5, even though it is often skipped in shorter conversion charts.

What is 190 °C in Fahrenheit?
190 °C is 375 °F. American recipes use 375 °F for the same jobs British recipes give to gas mark 5 — biscuits, pastries and quick breads.
Why do some charts leave gas mark 5 out?
Short charts often list only the round temperatures, jumping 180 °C to 200 °C. That skips 190 °C entirely, which is why a recipe at gas mark 5 sometimes gets converted to the wrong figure.
