Common Cooking Temperature Conversions

  • 325°F = 163°C — slow baking, custards, meringues
  • 350°F = 177°C — cakes, cookies, most Italian pastry
  • 375°F = 190°C — golden crusts, choux pastry
  • 400°F = 204°C — focaccia, pane, roasted vegetables
  • 425°F = 218°C — rustic breads, high-heat roasting
  • 450°F = 232°C — pizza (home oven preheat temperature)

Direct answers

What is 350°F in Celsius?
350°F = 176.7°C, typically rounded to 175–180°C in Italian recipes. This is one of the most common baking temperatures for cakes (torte), cookies (biscotti), and pastry.
What is 400°F in Celsius?
400°F = 204.4°C, rounded to 200°C in metric recipes. This is used for focaccia, some breads, and roasting vegetables.
What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?
180°C = 356°F, which American recipes typically round to 350°F. It is the most commonly cited baking temperature in Italian recipe books.
Why do Italians use Celsius?
Italy and all other EU countries use Celsius as the official temperature scale. Fahrenheit is used primarily in the United States and a few other countries. When following American recipes, Italian chefs and home cooks need to convert °F to °C.
How do I quickly estimate Celsius from Fahrenheit in my head?
A rough mental shortcut: subtract 32, then divide by 2. This gives an approximation within about 5–10%. For example: 350°F → (350−32)/2 = 159°C (actual: 177°C). For accuracy, use the exact formula or this calculator.
