160°C to Fahrenheit
160°C is 320°F, which a Fahrenheit oven dial calls 325°F (gas mark 3). To convert, multiply by 9/5 and add 32.

How to convert °C to °F
The formula is °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32, or roughly (°C × 2) + 30. For example, (160 × 9/5) + 32 = 288 + 32 = 320°F.
For an oven, use the dial setting rather than the exact figure: ovens are set in steps and swing by more than a few degrees. A fan (convection) oven runs hotter, so set it 20 °C lower.

Questions
What is 160°C in Fahrenheit?
160°C is 320°F. On a Fahrenheit oven, set 325°F; in a fan oven, 140°C; gas mark 3.
What is 160°C in a fan oven?
A fan (convection) oven cooks hotter, so set it 20 °C lower: 140°C.
What gas mark is 160°C?
Gas mark 3, a moderately low oven.
Why does the oven dial say 325°F, not 320°F?
Oven dials step in 25 °F and 10 °C, so recipes round to the nearest setting. An oven swings by more than the difference, so set the dial and check doneness the way the recipe says.
