Celsius to Fahrenheit: The Baker's Complete Guide to Oven Temperatures

You found the perfect cake recipe from a UK food blog but it says bake at 180°C. Your oven only shows Fahrenheit. Use our Celsius to Fahrenheit converter instantly, or read on for the full guide.

The Formula

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32
°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9

Example: 180°C = (180 × 9/5) + 32 = 356°F (rounded to 350°F).
