Recipes use different temperature scales depending on where they were written. American recipes usually use Fahrenheit, while many recipes from India, Europe, Australia and the UK use Celsius. Older British cookbooks may also use Gas Mark. This converter helps you move between those systems without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Enter the temperature from your recipe, choose its unit, and select the temperature scale you need. The tool converts Celsius and Fahrenheit mathematically. For Gas Mark, it matches the temperature to a common standard oven setting because Gas Mark values are discrete settings rather than a continuous scale.
Cooking Temperature Converter
Convert oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit and Gas Mark.
Gas Mark conversions use common oven equivalents and round to the nearest standard Gas Mark.
How to use the converter
- Enter the oven temperature from your recipe.
- Choose Celsius, Fahrenheit or Gas Mark as the starting unit.
- Choose the unit you need.
- Convert the temperature.
- Use Swap to reverse the direction when required.
- Copy the result if you want to keep it beside the recipe.
The converter is useful for cakes, breads, biscuits, roasting and any other recipe where the oven setting is given in an unfamiliar scale. It does not automatically adjust a conventional-oven temperature for a fan or convection oven because the correct adjustment depends on the appliance and the recipe. Follow the oven manufacturer’s guidance or a tested recipe when switching oven modes.
Gas Mark results are rounded to the nearest common setting, so they should be treated as practical oven equivalents rather than exact temperature matches.
The calculation runs entirely in your browser. The temperature you enter is not stored or sent to the server.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
180°C is 356°F mathematically. Many recipes round this to 350°F for practical oven settings.
What Gas Mark is close to 180°C?
Gas Mark 4 is commonly associated with about 180°C or 350°F.
Can I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Yes. Choose Fahrenheit as the starting unit and Celsius as the target unit.
Does the tool convert Gas Mark in both directions?
Yes. You can convert from Gas Mark to Celsius or Fahrenheit and from a temperature to the nearest supported Gas Mark.
Does this calculator adjust for a fan oven?
No. Fan-oven adjustments vary by appliance and recipe, so the tool keeps temperature-scale conversion separate from oven-mode advice.
Why is a Gas Mark conversion approximate?
Gas Mark uses standard numbered settings. A Celsius or Fahrenheit value may fall between two of them.
Is the converter useful outside baking?
Yes. It works for roasting and other oven cooking as well as baking.
Is my temperature stored?
No. The conversion happens in your browser and the plugin does not store your entry.
