Talk:Oven temperatures

Merger suggestion
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?
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)

Shouldn't this be "Domestic oven temperatures"?
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"
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)
