Frequently Asked Questions

What is 180 Celsius in Fahrenheit?

180 degrees Celsius equals 356 degrees Fahrenheit. However, in baking recipes, this is commonly rounded to 350°F for convenience.

350°F is a rounded, memorable number that's close enough to 180°C (356°F) for baking purposes. The 6-degree difference doesn't significantly affect most recipes.

Should I use 180°C in a fan oven?

No, reduce to 160°C (320°F) in a fan/convection oven. Fan ovens circulate heat more efficiently, so you need 20°C less than conventional oven temperatures.
