Depending on the age, origin, and type of oven you are working with the oven temperatures
contained in a recipe may need to be interpreted.  So, here is a quick reference
table to help crosswalk your recipe oven temperatures depending upon whether you
are working with Fahrenheit, Celsius, a gas oven, or just a descriptive word.  

|  ** **  |  **Fahrenheit**  |  **Celsius**  |  **Gas Number**  | 
|  **Very Slow**  |  225^(o) -275^(o)  |  110^(o )– 140^(o)  |  ¼  – 1  | 
|  **Slow**  |  300^(o )-325^(o)  |  150^(o )– 163^(o)  |  2 – 3  | 
|  **Moderate**  |  350^(o )– 375^(o)  |  177^(o )– 190^(o)  |  4 – 5  | 
|  **Moderately Hot**  |  400^(o )– 425^(o)  |  200^(o )– 220^(o)  |  6 – 7  | 
|  **Hot**  |  450^( o ) – 475^( o)  |  230^(o )– 245^(o)  |  8 – 9  | 
|  **Extremely Hot / Broiling**  |  500^(o )– 550^(o)  |  260^(o )– 290^(o)  |  10  |
