Quick conversion table

Fahrenheit = Celsius × 1.8 + 32. Recipes round to the nearest 25°F, so small differences are normal.

Fan ovens run hotter. Many recipes suggest lowering the temperature by about 20°C for a fan oven, so check your oven’s manual.

A cook on video can see how your bake is browning and tell you whether your oven runs hot.

Subtract 32, then divide by 1.8. For example, 350°F becomes 176.7°C, usually rounded to 175 or 180°C.

Double the Celsius figure and add 30. It is close enough for everyday temperatures, but use the formula for baking.

200°C is 392°F, usually rounded to 400°F.
