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.
