The most common cooking and baking temperatures at your fingertips
Low oven • Slow roasting
⭐ Most common • Cakes, cookies
Moderately hot • Quick breads
Hot oven • Roasting vegetables
Very hot • Pizza, artisan bread
Gas Marks are used on gas ovens, primarily in the UK and Europe. Each mark represents approximately 25°F (14°C) increase.
💡 Fun Fact: Gas Mark 4 (350°F/177°C) is called "moderate oven" - the sweet spot for most baking!
Fan-assisted (convection) ovens circulate hot air, cooking food faster and more evenly.
📐 Conversion Rule:
Option 1: Reduce temp by 25°F (15°C)
Example: 350°F → 325°F fan
Option 2: Reduce time by 10-15%
Example: 60 min → 50-55 min

⚠️ Tip: Always verify with an oven thermometer - individual ovens can vary by ±25°F!

The Formula
Example Calculation:
Problem: Convert 350°F to Celsius
Step 1: 350 - 32 = 318
Step 2: 318 × 5/9 = 176.67
Answer: ≈ 177°C (moderate oven)
For rough estimates: (°F - 30) ÷ 2

Created: 1724 by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit
Used in: United States, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Palau
Scale: Water freezes at 32°F, boils at 212°F (180° difference)
Best for: Daily weather (finer granularity for comfort range)
Created: 1742 by Anders Celsius
Used in: Worldwide (except US and a few others)
Scale: Water freezes at 0°C, boils at 100°C (100° difference)
Best for: Science, international communication (metric system)
Fahrenheit was designed with 0°F as the coldest temperature achievable with a brine solution, and 100°F as human body temperature (later refined to 98.6°F). This made sense for daily life in the 1720s.
Celsius was designed around water's freezing and boiling points, making it more logical for scientific work. Today, most of the world uses Celsius for its simplicity, while the US maintains Fahrenheit for historical and cultural reasons.

350°F = 177°C (or 176.67°C precisely). This is the most common baking temperature, equivalent to Gas Mark 4. It's called 'moderate oven' and is perfect for cakes, cookies, and most baked goods.
Use the formula: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For example: (350°F - 32) × 5/9 = 176.67°C ≈ 177°C. For quick mental math, subtract 30 and divide by 2 for a rough estimate: (350-30)÷2 ≈ 160°C.
Gas Marks are temperature settings used on gas ovens, primarily in the UK and some European countries. Each mark represents approximately 25°F (14°C) increase. Gas Mark 4 ≈ 350°F (177°C), which is moderate oven temperature. Gas Mark 6 ≈ 400°F (200°C), which is a hot oven.
-40 degrees! -40°F = -40°C. This is the only point where the two temperature scales intersect. It's extremely cold - much colder than the coldest inhabited places on Earth.
For most home baking, rounding to the nearest 5°C is fine. Ovens typically vary by ±10-25°F anyway. However, for delicate items like soufflés or macarons, use the precise conversion. Always use an oven thermometer to verify your oven's actual temperature.
Fan-assisted (convection) ovens circulate hot air, cooking faster and more evenly. They're typically set 15-25°C (25-45°F) lower than conventional ovens. '180°C fan' is equivalent to about 200°C conventional (392°F), which is close to 400°F conventional ovens.
