160°C fan forced or 325°F convection
I have recipe that recommends 160°C fan forced for approximately 1 hour.
I have a convection feature on my stove, so should I use it at 325°F with the convection on or just 325°F direct heat? It is a gas oven.
Best Answer
If your oven allows, 320°F is closer to 160°C, but I know some ovens are bit clunky and only go 25 degrees at a step.
Since "Fan Forced" is just another term for "Convection" you should use the fan if the recipe recommends it.

Is convection or fan forced better?
The convection oven also cooks food much faster as the fans allow the temperature to rise rapidly and remain controlled. Even temperature distribution also means that you are able to cook multiple dishes in the oven because the heat is able to move through the oven, regardless of how many trays are inside.Is fan forced oven the same as convection?
Most ovens today are convection ovens, which means they use a fan to speed up cooking. You can compare different convection ovens by the number of cooking functions they have, and where the fans and heating elements are located. A fan forced oven uses a fan at the back of the oven to distribute heat evenly.What is 160 fan forced in a normal oven?
