What 270°C is used for
Extremely hot
270°C (518°F) is beyond the gas mark scale and above what many home ovens can reach. It is mostly used for pizza.
Typical uses at this heat: pizza at your oven’s maximum; few recipes go this high.
Not sure your oven really reaches 270°C? Many ovens run hotter or cooler than the dial. See how to check your oven’s temperature.
How to convert 270°C to °F
Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32:
486 + 32 = 518°F
The quick “double it and add 30” trick gives 570°F, which is 52°F too high at this temperature. That’s fine for weather but not for baking, so use the exact figure.
