Merger suggestion[edit]

I suggest that the article Gas Mark should be merged with this one, since they both cover the same subject with parallel material. The other article should become a "redirect". —Saltmarsh 05:06, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Who uses these names?[edit]

Is this set of temperatures US specific? The one reference is US specific, so I guess so. Are these descriptions marked on ovens, used in recipes, or what? Is this used for Gas ovens, electric or both?

The Gas Mark is UK + Ireland specific, that is clearly stated. Electric ovens are marked in °C (formerly in °F). Merge the two articles, but state that these are systems used in specific countries. TiffaF (talk) 18:49, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be "Domestic oven temperatures"?[edit]

I don't think these descriptions apply to catering ovens - catering pizza ovens are available that go up to 480 degrees C, and I have a reference to a chef's book that says that a chicken can be roasted in 15 minutes if you heat the oven to 600 F.

"Fast"[edit]

The text says that the standard phrases include words such as "cool" to "hot" or "very slow" to "fast". However, the accompanying table doesn't define "fast". Neutron Jack (talk) 21:50, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
