Oven temperature converter
Convert an oven temperature between Celsius and Fahrenheit — useful when following a recipe written for a different oven scale.
Result
Temperature
How to use this calculator
- Enter the temperature in Celsius.
- Read the equivalent in Fahrenheit.
Assumptions
- Assumes a conventional (non-fan/non-convection) oven setting — fan ovens typically run about 20°C cooler than the stated conventional temperature for the same result.
Technical details: what the fields mean
- Temperature
celsius - Oven temperature in degrees Celsius, as given in the recipe.
Methodology
Fahrenheit = Celsius × 9⁄5 + 32 — the standard temperature-scale conversion.
Worked example
180°C
Inputs: celsius=180
Result: 356°F
Practical guidance
- If your oven is fan-assisted and the recipe was written for a conventional oven, reduce the converted temperature by about 20°C (or 20°C less, roughly 36°F less).
Common mistakes
- Not adjusting for a fan oven when a recipe was written for a conventional one, which can lead to overcooking.
FAQs
What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
356°F.
Should I adjust for a fan oven?
Yes — fan ovens typically run about 20°C hotter for the same setting, so reduce the temperature by roughly 20°C (or use your oven's fan-adjusted dial marking if it has one).
