Cooking Temperature Conversions

Celsius/Centigrade F = (C × 1.8) + 32
Fahrenheit C = (F−32) × 0.5555

Zero degrees Celsius and 100°C are arbitrarily placed at 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.
