Conversion Formulas
Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C
Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C x 9/5) + 32 = °F
Gas Mark to Fahrenheit: (Gas Mark x 25) + 250 = °F (approximate)
Fahrenheit to Gas Mark: (°F - 250) / 25 = Gas Mark (approximate)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius for cooking?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9. For example, 350°F = (350 - 32) x 5/9 = 177°C. Use our calculator above for instant conversions.
What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
180°C equals 356°F. This is a common baking temperature in metric countries, roughly equivalent to the standard American baking temperature of 350°F.
What Gas Mark is 350°F?
350°F is approximately Gas Mark 4. Gas Marks are used primarily in British recipes and range from 1/4 (very low) to 10 (very high).
What is the most common cooking temperature?
350°F (177°C / Gas Mark 4) is the most commonly used cooking temperature. It works well for general baking, roasting chicken, and many casseroles.
