Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter
350°F is 177°C, which a Celsius oven dial calls 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). To convert, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.

How to convert °F to °C
The formula is °C = (°F − 32) × 5/9, or roughly (°F − 30) ÷ 2. For example, (350 − 32) × 5/9 = 318 × 5/9 = 177°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
How do I convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?
Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature, then multiply by 5/9 (or divide by 1.8). Formula: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For example, 350°F = (350-32) × 5/9 = 177°C.
What is 350°F in Celsius?
350°F equals approximately 177°C. This is the most common baking temperature for cakes, cookies, and many other baked goods.
What is 400°F in Celsius?
400°F equals approximately 204°C. This higher temperature is used for roasting vegetables, baking pizza, and cooking dishes that need more browning.
Why do US recipes use Fahrenheit?
The United States is one of the few countries that still uses Fahrenheit for everyday temperature measurements. Most of the world uses Celsius, so international recipes may need conversion.
What is the formula for Fahrenheit to Celsius?
The formula is: °C = (°F - 32) × 5/9. You can also use the approximation: subtract 30 and divide by 2, which is close enough for cooking purposes.
