450°F to Celsius

450°F is 232°C, which a Celsius oven dial calls 230°C (210°C fan, gas mark 8). To convert, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.

The settings on an oven dial, with the fan setting and gas mark. Dials step in 10 °C and 25 °F, so they round: 180°C is exactly 356°F, and a recipe’s 350°F is set as 180°C.

How to convert °F to °C

The formula is °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, or roughly (°F − 30) ÷ 2. For example, (450 − 32) × 5/9 = 418 × 5/9 = 232°C.

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 450°F in Celsius?

450°F is 232°C. On a Celsius oven, set 230°C, or 210°C in a fan oven; gas mark 8.

What is 450°F in a fan oven?

A fan (convection) oven cooks hotter, so set it 20 °C lower: 210°C.

What gas mark is 450°F?

Gas mark 8, a hot oven.

Why does the oven dial say 230°C, not 232°C?

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.
