Why These Numbers?
The Math
Formula: (350°F - 32) × 5/9 = 176.67°C
Rounded: 177°C → 180°C
Why 180°C?
Most ovens have 10° increments. 180°C is easier to set and the 3° difference is negligible for baking.
Fan Ovens
Circulating air heats more efficiently. Reduce by 20°C (25°F) to avoid overcooking.

Quick Questions
What is 350°F in Celsius?
350°F = 177°C (exact) or 180°C (rounded). Use 180°C for conventional ovens, 160°C for fan ovens, or Gas Mark 4 for gas ovens.
Should I use 177°C or 180°C?
Use 180°C. The 3-degree difference is negligible, and 180°C is easier to set on most ovens. It's the European standard equivalent of 350°F.
What temperature for fan ovens?
For fan/convection ovens, use 160°C (not 180°C). Fan ovens circulate heat more efficiently, so reduce by 20°C to avoid overcooking.
Why is 350°F so common?
350°F (180°C) is the "Goldilocks temperature" - hot enough for proper baking, cool enough to avoid burning. It became the American standard through Betty Crocker cookbooks in the 1950s.
