...used in European (French) recipes.
Ovens there often have numbered
settings rather than temperatures.
Rather than translate degrees exactly,
I have rendered common American
oven temperatures (although Americans
never bake over 450°-500°).

Setting	Celsius	Fahrenheit
1	50°	120
2-3	50°-110°	120-220
3-4	110°	220
4-5	150°	300
5-6	170°	350
6-7	230°	450
7-8	250°	500
8-9	280°	535
10	300°	575

In French recipes, the following
expressions commonly refer to the
settings below.

1		four tiède		cool
2-3		four très doux		lightly warm
3-5		four doux		medium warm
5-7		four moyen		medium
7-8		four chaud		hot
8-9		four très chaud		very hot
10		four brûlant		extremely hot

The last table contains numbered-oven
equivalents for British gas-oven marks
and temperatures.

	temp.		gas mark
1	30°C-85°F		—
2	60°C-140°F		—
3	90°C-195°F		—
4	120°C-250°F		½
5	150°C-300°F		2
6	180°C-350°F		4
7	210°C-410°F		6
8	240°C-460°F		8
9	270°C-520°F		10
