Oven Temperature Guide

If you’re using a fan oven, then over a conventional one, the general rule of thumb is to drop the temperature by 20 degrees. So, 180°C would become 160°C.

If your kitchen is kitted out with a fan oven rather than a conventional one, 200°C would be 180°C. That’s because the general rule is to drop the temperature by 20°C when using a fan-powered oven.

Oven temperature in the UK is measured in Celsius and typically goes up to about 270°C. If you want any hotter, then a pizza oven might be a better option.

350 degrees Fahrenheit would convert to roughly 176.67°C. The sum to work this out is (350°F − 32) × 5/9.

How do I convert oven temperatures?

Converting oven temperatures just takes a little bit of maths. As an example, to swap 350°F to Celsius, you need to:

1. Start with 350°F.
2. Subtract 32 from 350, which gives you 318.
3. Multiply 318 by 5, which equals 1,590.
4. Divide 1,590 by 9, which gives you 176.67°C.
5. So, 350°F is the same as 176.67°C.

Going from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as simple as reversing the sum, so it’ll look something like this:

1. Start with 180°C
2. Multiply it by 9 to get 1,620
3. Divide this by 5 to get 324
4. Then add 32 which gives you 356°F
5. So 356°F is the same as 180°C

You can use a calculator to work out oven temperatures. The sum you’ll need to go from 350°F to Celsius is:

(350 - 32) x 5/9 = 176.67°C

To go from 180°C to Fahrenheit, the sum will look like:

(180 x 9/5) + 32 = 356°F

These conversions work with any temperature, so converting is super simple on a calculator.
