325 to 350°F (163 to 177ºC): Probably the most common range for everyday baking.

Tips to keep in mind while sautéing over high heat:

Can I bake cake at 160 degrees?
Various recipes say to bake this size of cake at 160, 180 or 200 degrees. It depends on how deep the recipe bakes and whether it is for a fan oven or non-fan oven. I normally stick to the given temperature and keep an eye and nose on the bake. I bake at 160c fan oven for approx 45 -50 minutes for that size.
