Baking Temperature Guide
When following recipes from different countries, oven temperature conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit is essential. Most European and Australian recipes use Celsius, while American recipes use Fahrenheit.
The most common baking temperature is 180°C (356°F), which is used for most cakes, cookies, and general baking. For bread and pastries that need a crispy crust, higher temperatures of 200–220°C (392–428°F) are typically used.
Fan oven adjustment
If your recipe specifies a conventional oven temperature and you have a fan (convection) oven, reduce the temperature by 20°C (36°F). For example, if a recipe calls for 180°C in a conventional oven, set your fan oven to 160°C (320°F).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 180°C in Fahrenheit for baking?
180°C equals 356°F. In American recipes, this is typically rounded to 350°F. It is the standard moderate oven temperature for cakes and cookies.
What is 200°C in Fahrenheit?
200°C equals 392°F. This is equivalent to a 'hot oven' (400°F) and is ideal for roasting vegetables and achieving crispy skin on poultry.
What is the safe internal temperature for cooked chicken?
The safe internal temperature for poultry is 165°F (73.9°C). Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food safety.
What is 145 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?
145°F is equal to 62.8°C. This is the USDA recommended safe minimum internal temperature for steaks, roasts, and fish.
What is 160 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius?
160°F is equal to 71.1°C. This is the safe internal temperature for ground beef and pork.
How do I convert a recipe from Celsius to Fahrenheit?
Use the formula: °F = (°C × 1.8) + 32. For quick reference: 150°C = 302°F, 180°C = 356°F, 200°C = 392°F, 220°C = 428°F.
