Conversion Formulas

Fahrenheit to Celsius

°C = (°F - 32) × 5/9
Example: 350°F → (350-32)×5/9 = 177°C

Celsius to Fahrenheit

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
Example: 180°C → (180×9/5)+32 = 356°F

Gas Mark Conversions

Gas Mark ≈ (°F - 250) ÷ 25
Example: 350°F → (350-250)÷25 = Gas Mark 4

Oven Temperature Tips

Oven Accuracy

  • Most home ovens run 25-50°F hot or cold
  • Use an oven thermometer for accuracy
  • Calibrate your oven regularly
  • Position matters - top/bottom heat varies

Convection vs Conventional

  • Convection: Reduce temperature by 25°F
  • Conventional: Use recipe temperatures
  • Convection cooks faster and more evenly
  • Adjust baking time by 25% for convection

Baking Time Adjustments

  • Higher temperature = shorter time
  • Lower temperature = longer time
  • Every 25°F change = 10% time adjustment
  • Always check for doneness early

International Oven Standards

Country Standard Scale Common Range Notes
United States Fahrenheit 200-500°F Most recipes use °F
Canada Both Both scales used Recipes often show both
United Kingdom Gas Mark & Celsius Gas Mark 1-9 Gas marks common
Australia Celsius 150-250°C Metric system
Europe Celsius 150-250°C Gas marks in UK only
Note: Oven temperatures are approximate and can vary based on your specific oven, altitude, humidity, and other factors. Always use an oven thermometer for accuracy. When converting recipes, round temperatures to the nearest 5 or 10 degrees for practical use. Baking is as much art as science - adjust based on your results and experience.

What is 350°F in Celsius?

350°F is equal to 177°C. This is calculated using the formula: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. So, (350-32) × 5/9 = 318 × 5/9 = 177°C.

What gas mark is 350°F?

350°F is approximately Gas Mark 4. Gas marks are a British measurement system for oven temperatures where Gas Mark 1 is about 275°F and each additional mark adds about 25°F.

How do I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit for baking?

Use the formula: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. For example, to convert 180°C to Fahrenheit: (180 × 9/5) + 32 = (324) + 32 = 356°F, which rounds to 350-375°F for baking.

What's the difference between convection and conventional oven temperatures?

Convection ovens have fans that circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly. When using a convection oven, reduce the temperature by 25°F (15°C) from the recipe's conventional oven temperature.

Why do baking recipes use different temperatures?

Different foods require different temperatures for optimal results. Lower temperatures (300-325°F) are for delicate items like custards, moderate temperatures (350°F) for most baking, and higher temperatures (400°F+) for crusty breads and quick cooking.
