Gas Mark
The Gas Mark is a temperature scale used on gas ovens and cookers in Great Britain, Ireland and some Commonwealth of Nations countries.
==History==
The draft 2003 edition of the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' lists the earliest known usage of the concept as being in L. Chatterton's book ''Modern Cookery'' published in 1943: "Afternoon tea scones… Time: 20 minutes. Temperature: Gas, Regulo Mark 7". "Regulo" was a type of gas regulator used by a manufacturer of cookers; however, the scale has now become universal, and the word ''Regulo'' is rarely used.
The term "gas mark" was a subject of the joint BBC/OED TV series ''Balderdash & Piffle'', in May 2005, which sought to establish the history of the term. The earliest printed evidence of use of "gas mark" (with no other terms between the two words) appears to date from 1958.〔() 〕 However, the manufacturers of the "New World" gas ranges in the mid-1930s gave away recipe books for use with their cooker, and the "Regulo" was the gas regulator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gourmet Britain / Food Encyclopedia / Regulo TM settings )〕 The book has no reference to degrees, either in Fahrenheit (as then) or Centigrade. All dishes to be cooked are noted to be at "Regulo Mark X".
