Vintage ovens did not have temperature gauges like they do now, and even older methods of cooking involved continued mediation of a wood-fueled fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the conversions from the vintage terms for heat to the modern measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vintage<\/strong><\/td>Modern<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Very Slow<\/td>250\u00b0 – 275\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr>
Slow<\/td>300\u00b0 – 325\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr>
Moderate<\/td>350\u00b0 – 375\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr>
Moderately Hot<\/td>400\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr>
Hot<\/td>425\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr>
Very Hot<\/td>450\u00b0 – 475\u00b0 Fahrenheit<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are not hard and fast guidelines, but they generally represent the parameters for the vague vintage language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
