About this calculator
°F = °C × 9/5 + 32. Most US recipes use Fahrenheit (350°F is the universal default for cookies and baking); UK/EU recipes use Celsius (180°C, the rough equivalent). Common pairs: 250°F = 120°C (very low), 325°F = 165°C (slow), 350°F = 175°C (moderate baking), 375°F = 190°C (cookies, biscuits), 400°F = 200°C (roasting), 425°F = 220°C (pizza), 450°F = 230°C (high roast), 500°F = 260°C (pizza/bread). Round to nearest 5°.
Frequently asked
Why doesn't 350 °F = 177 °C exactly?+
It does — 176.67. Recipes round to 175 or 180 °C. Both work; ovens vary ±10° anyway.
Should I round?+
Most ovens have 5° granularity. Round to nearest 5 °F or 10 °C; the precision doesn't matter.
Does altitude affect baking temp?+
Slightly — at altitude (3,000ft+), drop temp 25 °F or raise 25 °F depending on what's rising. See an altitude conversion for specifics.
What about Gas Mark?+
See the Gas Mark Converter — UK gas ovens use Mark 1-9, where Mark 4 ≈ 350 °F.
Convection vs. conventional?+
See oven-temp-fan-vs-conventional. Fan ovens run 25 °F (or 14 °C) hotter at the food than the dial reads.

Fan vs Conventional Oven Temperature Converter
Fan-forced (convection) ovens cook ~25 °F (~14 °C) hotter than conventional. Convert in either direction.
UK Gas Mark to °F / °C Converter
Gas Mark 1 = 275 °F = 135 °C. Each mark adds ~25 °F (~14 °C). Modern UK ovens still use this scale.
Cups to Grams Converter (Ingredient-Specific)
Cups → grams for flour, sugar, butter, oil, milk, water, brown sugar, oats, cocoa, and more — ingredient density matters.
Tablespoons to Grams Converter
Tablespoons → grams for common ingredients. 1 tbsp = ~14.8 mL volume; mass varies by density.
Sticks of Butter to Cups / Tbsp / Grams
1 stick = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 4 oz = 113 g. Convert any of those to the others.
Instant Pot to Stovetop Time Converter
Stovetop simmer time ≈ Instant Pot time × 3-4 (depending on the cut/category). Doesn't include IP pressurization time.
