What to Bake at Each Temperature
- 250–300°F (121–149°C): meringues, slow-dried fruit, dehydrating herbs
- 325°F (163°C): cheesecakes, custards, delicate pastries
- 350°F (177°C): cakes, muffins, cookies, brownies — the all-purpose baking temperature
- 375°F (190°C): cookies for crispier edges, some quick breads
- 400°F (204°C): roasted vegetables, bread, dinner rolls, pot pies
- 425–450°F (218–232°C): pizza, roasted meats, artisan breads with crust
- 475–500°F (246–260°C): Neapolitan pizza, high-heat searing
Fan Oven vs Conventional Oven
Fan ovens (convection ovens) circulate air and cook about 20°C hotter than the temperature suggests. If your recipe was written for a conventional oven and you have a fan oven, reduce the temperature by 20°C (or 25°F).
Example: a recipe calling for 180°C conventional should be cooked at 160°C fan. For Fahrenheit: 350°F conventional = 325°F fan.

What is 350 Fahrenheit in Celsius?
350°F equals 176.7°C — typically written as 175°C or 180°C on European ovens. This is the most common baking temperature.
What is 180 Celsius in Fahrenheit?
180°C equals 356°F — close to 350°F, which is the US equivalent for standard baking.
What gas mark is 180 Celsius?
180°C is approximately Gas Mark 4, which is a moderate oven.
Should I adjust temperature for a fan oven?
Yes. Reduce the recipe temperature by 20°C (or 25°F) when using a fan/convection oven, since the circulating air cooks faster.
