Fahrenheit to Celsius
Example: (350 - 32) × 5/9 = 175°C
Celsius to Fahrenheit
Example: (180 × 9/5) + 32 = 356°F
Did you know? Temperature doesn't just cook food—it transforms it. The same dough becomes completely different foods at different temperatures:
Creates: Chewy cookies, fudgy brownies
Low heat = more moisture = dense texture
Creates: Crispy cookies, fluffy muffins
Medium heat = balanced moisture = light texture
Creates: Crusty bread, crispy pizza
High heat = rapid crust = crispy outside
Example: Recipe says 350°F? Set fan oven to 325°F (or 160°C instead of 175°C)

💡 Pro tip: European recipes often use 180°C (356°F) because it's close to 350°F and a round number.
The Magic of Temperature: Same Ingredients, Different Foods
Temperature is the secret ingredient that transforms the same dough into completely different treats:
🍪 Basic Cookie Dough Journey
🍞 Basic Bread Dough Evolution
❌ Using 180°C for US recipes
Problem: 350°F = 175°C, not 180°C
Result: Slightly overcooked food
Fix: Use exact conversion or our calculator
❌ Forgetting fan oven adjustment
Problem: Fan ovens cook faster
Result: Burnt edges, dry texture
Fix: Always reduce by 15-20°C for fan
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 180 C to F?
180°C = 356°F. This is a very common oven temperature in European recipes. Note that it's slightly higher than the US standard 350°F (175°C). For fan ovens, use 160°C.
What is 200 C to F?
200°C = 392°F, typically rounded to 400°F in recipes. This is a hot oven temperature, perfect for roasting vegetables, baking bread, and making pizza. For fan ovens, use 180°C.
Is it Celsius or Celcius?
The correct spelling is Celsius (named after Anders Celsius). "Celcius" is a common misspelling. Similarly, it's "Fahrenheit" not "Farenheit". Our converter works with both spellings to help you find what you need!
What is normal body temperature?
Normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). A fever is typically considered 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. For babies and medical concerns, always consult a healthcare provider.
Why does temperature change how food turns out?
Temperature controls moisture evaporation and chemical reactions. Low temperatures (325°F) keep moisture in, creating fudgy brownies. High temperatures (375°F) evaporate moisture quickly, creating crispy cookies. It's not just about cooking—it's about transformation!
