COOKING TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS

Celsius/Centigrade: F = (C x 1.8) + 32

Fahrenheit: C = (F–32) x 0.5555

 

Zero degrees Celsius and 100°C are arbitrarily placed as the melting and boiling points of water, while Fahrenheit establishes 0°F as the stabilized temperature when equal amounts of ice, water, and salt are mixed. So, for example, if you are baking at 350°F and want to know that temperature in Celsius, the following calculation will provide it: C = (350–32) × 0.5555 = 176.66°C.
