Oven temperature in °C and °F calculator

Type a temperature and pick the input scale, °C or °F. The calculator brings the number to Celsius, then shows the header scale and the other scale. 180 °C is 356 °F. 350 °F is about 177 °C. 160 °C is 320 °F.

Unit converter: Celsius and Fahrenheit. Cup: cup to mass. Spoons: tablespoon and teaspoon.

How it works

We first bring the input to Celsius. When the list says °F, C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. Three hundred fifty °F is about 176.7 °C, 177 on the page, because we round to a whole degree. One hundred eighty °C is 356 °F, because F = C × 9/5 + 32. One hundred sixty °C is 320 °F exactly. Two hundred °C is 392 °F. Two hundred twenty °C is 428 °F. Three hundred seventy-five °F is about 191 °C. Four hundred °F is about 204 °C. Two hundred fifty °F is about 121 °C.

The list names the scale of the typed number, not an arrow direction. The result still goes to Celsius. The first card follows the header: metric shows °C, US shows °F, both as whole degrees. The second card always adds the other scale, so 180 °C is visible as 356 °F without flipping the header.

One hundred eighty °C is a typical cake. Two hundred °C is many sheet pans. Two hundred twenty °C is a hotter oven. One hundred sixty °C is slower baking. Bake time and a probe in the crumb stay out. Ovens often click in 5 or 10 degree steps, which is why the cards show whole degrees.

Zero degrees is legal: the freezing point of water in °C, not the bottom of the scale. Below -273.15 °C, absolute zero, the calculator refuses. An empty field does not insert 180 from a cake recipe. An example fills 180 only after you click the example button.

The Celsius-Fahrenheit unit page does the same physics, without the kitchen 180 and 350. Here we stay with the oven and two cards. Recipe scaling next door does not move temperature: two stays two, and 180 stays 180.

Type 180 as °C, click Calculate, and match 356 °F on the other scale. Or 350 as °F and about 177 °C. A comma in 180.5 works like a period. The calculator still shows a whole number after rounding.

How to use

  1. Type a number, for example 180 or 350.
  2. Pick the input scale: °C or °F. That is the field scale, not an arrow direction.
  3. Click Calculate. 180 °C gives 356 °F. 350 °F gives about 177 °C.
  4. Read the header card and the other scale. In US mode the first card shows Fahrenheit.
  5. A value below -273.15 °C is refused. Bake time lives outside this page.

Formula

°C = °F, or (°F − 32) × 5/9 when the input is °F

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32

First card: whole degrees in the header scale. Second card: the other scale. °C ≥ −273.15.

°C and °F in the oven

°F = °C × 9/5 + 32. 180 °C is 356 °F. 350 °F is about 177 °C. 160 °C is 320 °F.

°C
The Celsius scale. 180 °C is 356 °F. 0 °C is 32 °F. Input or header result.
°F
The Fahrenheit scale. 350 °F is 177 °C on the page. 375 °F is 191 °C. 400 °F is 204 °C.

Real-life examples

Example 4

220 typed as °C -> 428 °F.

Example 5

350 as °F -> about 177 °C.

Example 6

375 as °F -> about 191 °C.

Example 7

400 as °F -> about 204 °C.

Example 8

250 as °F -> about 121 °C.

Ways to use this calculator

  • A US recipe says 350 °F and the oven dial is in °C: you type 350 as °F and read about 177 °C.
  • A recipe in 180 °C needs an oven in °F: the second card shows 356 °F without guessing.
  • You check 160 °C, 200 °C, and 220 °C: 320, 392, and 428 °F before you turn the dial.

Frequently asked questions

What is 180 °C in Fahrenheit, and 350 °F in Celsius?

180 × 9/5 + 32 = 356 °F. (350 − 32) × 5/9 ≈ 176.7 °C, 177 °C on the page after rounding to a whole degree.

Does “typed number is °C” mean the result is only °F?

No. The list says which scale the field uses. 180 typed as °C goes to Celsius, the first card follows the header, and the second adds 356 °F.

Does US in the header turn 180 into 356 on the first card?

Yes. In US mode the first card shows Fahrenheit, so 180 °C comes out as 356 °F. In metric it stays 180 °C, and 356 °F goes on the second card.

What about a temperature below absolute zero?

The calculator refuses. −273.15 °C is the bottom of the Kelvin scale. Zero °C is legal: water freezing, 32 °F on the other scale.

Does an empty field insert 180 from a cake?

No. An example fills 180 after you click the button and then computes 356 °F. An empty field does not run the oven math.

Why is there no decimal, if 350 °F is 176.67 °C?

We round to a whole degree. Oven dials move in 5 or 10. 177 °C from 350 °F is enough to set.

How is this different from the Celsius-Fahrenheit unit page?

The formula is the same: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Here the oven context stays: 180 °C, 350 °F, two cards, and an input-scale label.

Is 160 °C always 320 °F?

Yes. 160 × 9/5 + 32 = 320. 200 °C is 392 °F. 220 °C is 428 °F.

What do 375 °F and 400 °F give?

About 191 °C and 204 °C after rounding to a whole degree. 250 °F is about 121 °C.

Does a comma in 180.5 work?

Yes. 180.5 and 180,5 are the same input temperature. The calculator still shows a whole number after rounding, 181 °C from 180.5 on metric.
