Having used both gas and electric cookers, I am puzzled as to why electric oven thermostats are always calibrated in degrees celsius and/or farenheit but gas ovens thermostats are calibrated 1 to 10. Is this a legacy of old and different designs or is there an important reason.
I know it doesn’t take much to convert a temperature to the equivalent gas mark, but wouldn’t it make things (labels, recipes etc.) simpler if a universal standard was adopted?
Not exactly a life or death matter, but I was just wondering.
