Since some of the recipes that I have given out and will give out use terms like hot, very hot, etc and not always degrees, I thought that it would be good to give a reference guide to these terms. This guide comes from "Aunt Sammy's Radio's Recipes Revised" and was published in 1931. Aunt Sammy's Radio Recipes, as the name denotes, was a popular radio recipe show in the 1920s.
Oven Temperature Guide:
Very Hot- 450 to 500 degrees F
Hot- 400 to 450 degrees F
Moderately hot-375 to 400 degrees F
Moderate-325 to 375 degrees F
Very moderate- 300 to 325 degrees F
Slow- 250 to 300 degrees F
Very Slow- 225 to 250 degrees F
I hope that this helps!

Thank you for this great information! I inherited both of my grandmothers' recipe collections and have found many recipes without actual temperatures for cooking. This should really be helpful!
