How hot is a oven?
It depends on what you're baking or roasting! Ovens have different temperature settings to suit various needs.
Here's a general breakdown:
* Low: 200°F to 300°F (93°C to 149°C) - Used for delicate items like cookies, cakes, and slow-cooking meats.
* Medium: 350°F to 400°F (177°C to 204°C) - This is the "all-purpose" setting, good for most baking and roasting.
* High: 425°F to 450°F (218°C to 232°C) - Great for broiling, achieving crispy crusts, and getting things done quickly.
* Very High: 475°F to 550°F (246°C to 288°C) - Used for pizza stones, browning bread, and other tasks requiring extremely high heat.
Important Note: The exact temperature you use will depend on the specific recipe. Always follow the recipe instructions for the best results!
