Cooking Temperature Conversions
Celsius/Centigrade
0°C and 100°C are arbitrarily placed at the freezing and boiling points of water and are standard to the metric system.
Fahrenheit
0°F is the stabilized temperature when equal amounts of ice, water, and salt are mixed.
To convert temperatures in Fahrenheit to Celsius, use this formula:
C = (F - 32) × 0.5555
So, for example, if a recipe calls for 350°F and you want to convert that temperature to Celsius, you would calculate it like this:
(350 - 32) × 0.5555 = 176.65°C
