Frequently Asked Questions
What is 375°F in Celsius?
375°F equals 190.56°C exactly, but is rounded to 190°C for oven dials. For fan ovens, use 170°C. For gas ovens, use Gas Mark 5.
How long to bake cookies at 375°F?
Most cookies bake at 375°F for 9-11 minutes. Chocolate chip cookies: 9-11 minutes. Sugar cookies: 8-10 minutes. Look for golden edges and slightly soft centers.
Should I use 375°F or 350°F for chicken?
375°F (190°C) is better for chicken breasts (20-25 minutes), as it cooks faster while keeping moisture. 350°F is better for whole chickens. Internal temp should reach 165°F (74°C).
What temperature is 375°F on a fan oven?
For fan/convection ovens, reduce by 20°C (25°F). Set to 170°C (350°F) when a recipe calls for 375°F conventional. Fan ovens cook 25% faster due to air circulation.
Is 375°F too hot for cake?
No, 375°F (190°C) works well for layer cakes (25-30 minutes) and cupcakes (18-22 minutes). It's slightly higher than the typical 350°F but produces a better rise and golden crust.
