## How it calculates

The conversion formulas for the different temperature scales are as follows: 

1. From Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius (C): 
   C = (F - 32) ÷ 1.8 

2. From Celsius (C) to Fahrenheit (F): 
   F = (C × 1.8) + 32 

3. From Gas Mark (G) to Celsius (C): 
   C = (G × 14.2) + 120 

4. From Celsius (C) to Gas Mark (G): 
   G = (C - 120) ÷ 14.2 

In these formulas, F represents the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, C represents the temperature in degrees Celsius, and G represents the Gas Mark level. Each formula reflects the linear relationship between the temperature scales, accounting for the different zero points and increments used in each system.

## Who should use this

1. Home bakers adapting recipes from cookbooks that use Celsius or Gas Mark. 
2. Professional chefs adjusting cooking temperatures when converting international recipes. 
3. Culinary students learning to standardize temperatures across various measurement systems. 
4. Food scientists conducting experiments that require precise temperature conversions for accurate results. 
5. Nutritionists developing meal plans that include recipes from different countries.

## Worked examples

Example 1: Converting 350°F to Celsius. 
Step 1: Use the formula C = (F - 32) ÷ 1.8. 
Step 2: Plug in the value: C = (350 - 32) ÷ 1.8. 
Step 3: Calculate: C = 318 ÷ 1.8 ≈ 176.67°C. 
Thus, 350°F is approximately 176.67°C. 

Example 2: Converting Gas Mark 5 to Celsius. 
Step 1: Use the formula C = (G × 14.2) + 120. 
Step 2: Plug in the value: C = (5 × 14.2) + 120. 
Step 3: Calculate: C = 71 + 120 = 191°C. 
Therefore, Gas Mark 5 is equivalent to 191°C. 
These conversions aid bakers in ensuring they set the correct oven temperature for successful results.

## Limitations

This tool has several limitations: 1. Precision: The conversions may be rounded, leading to slight inaccuracies, especially at extreme temperatures. 2. Edge Cases: Temperatures below freezing (0°C) or extremely high temperatures (above 500°F) may not yield practical cooking results. 3. Assumptions: The tool assumes standard atmospheric pressure; variations can affect cooking times and results. 4. Cooking Method: Different cooking methods (baking, broiling, etc.) may require different temperature adjustments that are not accounted for in simple conversions. 5. Regional Variations: Some recipes may use specific temperature settings that do not correspond perfectly between scales.

## FAQs

**Q:** How do I convert a temperature from Celsius to Gas Mark? 


**A:** Use the formula G = (C - 120) ÷ 14.2. For example, to convert 200°C, calculate G = (200 - 120) ÷ 14.2, resulting in approximately 5.63, or Gas Mark 6. 


**Q:** What is the relationship between Fahrenheit and Celsius conversions? 


**A:** The relationship is linear, defined by the formulas C = (F - 32) ÷ 1.8 and F = (C × 1.8) + 32. This means every degree change in one scale corresponds to a specific degree change in the other. 


**Q:** Why do some recipes specify temperatures in Gas Mark? 


**A:** Gas Mark is primarily used in the UK and provides a simple way to indicate oven settings based on gas oven performance, which can vary. 


**Q:** Are there any temperature ranges where these conversions are less reliable? 


**A:** Yes, conversions may be less reliable at very low (below freezing) or very high temperatures (above 500°F), where cooking outcomes can differ significantly.
