200 °C in Gas Mark
200 °C on a gas oven dial:
gas mark 6
Gas oven dial
180 °C
Fan-forced oven
Fan-forced ovens run about 20 °C hotter than conventional at the same dial setting, so gas mark 6 is 180 °C with the fan on. See the full oven temperature conversion chart.
After 180 °C, this is the temperature metric recipes reach for most — the roasting-and-browning setting behind crisp potatoes, pastry, pizza and the first ten minutes of a loaf. On a British gas dial it is gas mark 6, and unlike some of the in-between temperatures it lands exactly on a rung.

What is 200 °C in Fahrenheit?
200 °C is 400 °F. Both are gas mark 6, which is why American recipes calling for 400 °F and British recipes calling for gas mark 6 are describing the same oven.
What is 200 °C fan in gas mark?
