To convert oven temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 1.8 and add 32. So 180 C is 356 F, usually rounded to 350 F. Fan, or convection, ovens run hotter, so reduce the temperature by about 20 C, or 25 F, from a conventional recipe.
Celsius to Fahrenheit: multiply by 1.8, add 32. 180 C = 350 F. For fan ovens, lower by about 20 C (25 F).
The Conversion Formula
To go from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the Celsius figure by 1.8 and add 32. To go the other way, subtract 32 and divide by 1.8. Oven dials are usually rounded to the nearest common setting.
Fan Oven Adjustment
Fan or convection ovens circulate hot air, so they cook hotter than a conventional oven at the same dial setting. Reduce the temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius, or 25 Fahrenheit, when a recipe was written for a conventional oven.
