What is a Fan-assisted Oven?

A fan-assisted oven is also known as a fan-forced oven, electric fan oven or convection oven. It has a top and bottom heating element with a fan at the back to help evenly cook.

It's easy to see why fan-assisted ovens are so popular. They offer better results with less time and temperature sensitivity. Fan ovens are perfect for cooking crispy Yorkshire Puddings.

You can also batch cook on multiple oven shelves without sacrificing your dishes!

Do Americans have Fan assisted ovens?

Usually, no. Most American homes don’t have convection ovens.

So you'll need to convert a recipe yourself if not already given.

In our recipes, we give all the conversions for f to c, including fan and gas mark.

What is a Conventional Oven?

A conventional oven has two heating elements that heat the air inside the oven to cook food.

The bottom heating element is used for most cooking and baking, while the top one browns items like meats giving that crispy skin you love so much.

Cakes are often better cooked in ovens without the fan mode, such as our Chocolate Victoria Sponge.

What oven do we use?

Another question we often get asked is, 'What oven do we use in our recipes?'

We use a fan assisted electric double range oven made by Britannia for all the recipes seen on our blog which use an oven.

We also have a gas oven in our motorhome to cook our recipes on our travels! Our friends and family also test our recipes using other appliances too.

Cooking can be a tricky business - especially when it comes to temperature conversions. Ovens typically use degrees Fahrenheit in the US, while British recipes call for degrees Celsius.

We hope these oven temperature conversions helped you convert Celsius, Fahrenheit and Gas Mark; please share on social media to help others!
