Oven Temperature Conversion

Convert oven temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit. A temperature conversion changes the unit, not the cooking method or the time.

Your temperature conversion

180 °C is

356

°F Fahrenheit

This converts temperature units. It does not adjust cooking times, fan settings or appliance behaviour.

Formula: °F = °C × 9/5 + 32. More precision: 356 °F.

Common oven temperatures

Temperature-unit equivalents, not fan-oven adjustments. Gas marks are not calculated.

Celsius to Fahrenheit for common oven settings (exact conversion, rounded for display)
Celsius	Fahrenheit	Often described as
120 °C	248 °F	very slow
140 °C	284 °F	slow
150 °C	302 °F	slow
160 °C	320 °F	moderately slow
175 °C	347 °F	moderate
180 °C	356 °F	moderate
190 °C	374 °F	moderately hot
200 °C	392 °F	moderately hot
220 °C	428 °F	hot
230 °C	446 °F	hot
250 °C	482 °F	very hot

Celsius and Fahrenheit

Use °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, or °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9. For example, 180°C equals 356°F mathematically. Your oven may offer a nearby setting rather than that exact number.

An oven dial is a practical choice

The exact converted value and a nearby dial setting serve different purposes. Read your recipe and appliance instructions when choosing a setting. A rounded dial suggestion should always be marked as approximate.

Fan settings are a separate question

Converting 180°C to Fahrenheit does not turn a conventional-oven recipe into a convection recipe. Keep the unit conversion separate from any appliance-specific adjustment.

Do not scale cooking time with temperature

There is no general formula that makes a dish finish correctly by trading heat for minutes. Use a suitable recipe and check progress using the recipe’s own guidance.

A few useful answers

Kitchen questions, answered.

Is 180°C exactly 350°F?

No. 180°C is exactly 356°F by the conversion formula. 350°F is a common rounded oven setting, not the exact equivalent.

Does the converter adjust for a fan oven?

The temperature tool converts units. Fan or convection adjustments are a separate recipe decision.

Can I double the temperature to halve the time?

No. This tool does not model how heat moves through food or how a recipe changes at another temperature.
