190 °C on a gas oven dial:

gas mark 5

Gas oven dial

170 °C

Fan-forced oven

Fan-forced ovens run about 20 °C hotter than conventional at the same dial setting, so gas mark 5 is 170 °C with the fan on. See the full oven temperature conversion chart.

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.

190 °C is gas mark 5. That is 375 °F, or 170 °C in a fan-forced oven.

Is 190 °C gas mark 5?

Yes, exactly. Gas mark 5 sits between the moderate gas mark 4 (180 °C) and the hot gas mark 6 (200 °C), and 190 °C is its precise conventional-oven equivalent.

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.
