Temperature Conversion Formulas
Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F - 32) x 5/9 = °C
Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C x 9/5) + 32 = °F
Gas Mark is used primarily in the UK and some Commonwealth countries. Gas Mark 1 = 275°F (135°C), and each mark adds roughly 25°F (14°C).
How to use this converter
Type any oven temperature and the tool instantly shows the equivalent in Fahrenheit, Celsius and UK Gas Mark, using the exact conversion formulas (no rounding surprises). It's built for the moment you're following a recipe from another country and your oven dial doesn't match — a British recipe at "Gas Mark 6" is 400°F or 200°C, and this saves you the mental arithmetic.
A few practical notes on oven temperature itself: most home ovens run 15–25°F hotter or cooler than the dial claims, so an oven thermometer is worth its small cost. Fan (convection) ovens effectively cook hotter, so many recipes suggest dropping the temperature by about 25°F (15°C) or reducing time when using the fan setting.
Frequently asked questions
What is 350°F in Celsius?
350°F is 177°C, usually rounded to 175°C, which is Gas Mark 4 — the classic "moderate oven" used for most cakes and cookies.
Should I lower the temperature for a fan oven?
Yes — a fan circulates hot air and cooks more efficiently, so reduce the recipe temperature by roughly 25°F (15°C), or keep the temperature and shorten the time. Check your oven's manual, as some already account for this.
What is Gas Mark?
A temperature scale used mainly in the UK and Ireland. Gas Mark 1 is 275°F (135°C), and each mark up adds about 25°F (14°C). Gas Mark 4 (350°F) is the everyday baking temperature.
