Many recipes, especially ones that are handed down from family member to family member, list oven temperatures as general terms, not by actual degrees. I hope this chart helps to give temperature ranges for such general terms.
| VERY SLOW OVEN | 250 TO 300 degrees F | |
| SLOW OVEN | 300 TO 325 degrees F | |
| MODERATE OVEN | 325 TO 375 degrees F | |
| MEDIUM HOT OVEN | 375 TO 400 degrees F | |
| HOT OVEN | 400 TO 450 degrees F | |
| VERY HOT OVEN | 450 TO 500 degrees F |
