I watched a British recipe that instructed for it to be baked at 180 fan. I live in the states and use a conventional oven. What do I set it at. Also, would the baking time change?

    This question (on an international forum) is about converting from/to oven types in different countries - that means it would be really helpful if you describe what a conventional oven is ;-)

  • @JanDoggen I might be wrong, but that is one of the very few things which I thought to be fairly consistent? An conventional oven has a top and bottom heating element and transfers heat slower than a fan oven that moves the hot air around?

    @Stephie It is not. Gas ovens e.g.

    @Stephie most ovens in the US don't use upper elements except when broiling.

180 fan is equal to 200 oC= (400 oF).

I attached a chart I didn't create I use for reference.

180 fan is 180 degrees Centigrade with the fan on. The general advice when converting from a fan to a non fan oven is increase temperature 15-20 degrees, so the range you are looking for is between 383 and 392 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a digital stove I'd say set it for 390, if it's a dial you'll need to eyeball it.
