Celsius to fahrenheit
To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32. So 180°C = 356°F and 200°C = 392°F. To reverse it, subtract 32, multiply by 5, then divide by 9.

The Celsius to Fahrenheit formula
The formula is simple: °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32. However, remembering it mid-recipe is a hassle, so this Celsius to Fahrenheit converter does the maths for you.
The quick way to convert (and the exact way)
The exact formula is °F = (°C × 9 ÷ 5) + 32, and to go back, °C = (°F − 32) × 5 ÷ 9. For a rough mental estimate you can double the Celsius figure and add 30 — but be careful, that only gets you in the ballpark (180°C estimates as 390°F when the real answer is 356°F). For oven temperatures, where 20 degrees changes your bake, use the exact table above rather than the shortcut.
Common baking temperatures explained
- 150–160°C (300–325°F): low and slow — rich fruit cakes, meringues, slow roasts.
- 160–180°C (325–350°F): the everyday range for sponge cakes, cookies and cupcakes.
- 190–200°C (375–400°F): bread, pastry and roasting.
- 220°C+ (425°F+): pizza, artisan bread and anything that needs a fast, crisp crust.
