Fahrenheit to Celsius

A Fahrenheit to Celsius cooking chart is often necessary because recipes frequently use one scale or the other. If the baking temperature is set in Celsius, it will be difficult to understand for those who are used to Fahrenheit. The same holds true for those who are accustomed to reading temperatures in Celsius.

Oven Temperature Reference

225 F / 110 C: vey slow
250 F / 120/130 C: very slow
275 F / 140 C: slow
300 F / 150 C: slow
325 F / 160/170 C: moderate
350 F / 180 C: moderate
375 F / 190 C: moderately hot
400 F / 200 C: moderately hot
425 F / 220 C: hot
450 F / 230 C: hot
475 F / 240 C: very hot

Fahrenheit to Celsius Converters

Along with Fahrenheit to Celsius cooking charts, there are also converters you can use. These are available online and you can use them to make specific conversions. To use them simply type the temperature you want to convert and click the “convert” button.

Other Reminders

Generally, the Celsius scale is half that of the Fahrenheit. If you have a fan assisted oven, they will be configured to 50 F or 25 C lower than other ovens. That means a reduction in cooking time by ten minuets per hour.

However, there are different kinds of ovens, so make sure to refer to the manual for instructions. Cooks also highly recommend the use of an oven thermometer. This will ensure the food is cooked at the right temperature.

Cooking Temperature for Beef, Steaks, Lambs and Chops

Rare: 120 to 125 degrees F
Medium rare: 130 to 135 degrees F
Medium: 140 to 145 degrees F
Medium well: 150 to 155 degrees F
Well done: 160 degrees F and over
Ground meat: 160 to 165 degrees F

Chicken and Turkey

Cook at 165 F or until the juices become conspicuous. 165 F is also used for turkey. The turkey is cooked when the leg can be moved without resistance. If you are cooking a 12 lb turkey, keep in mind that it can manage an hour or hour and a half of resting. If there is no exposure to drafts, the temperature can go up by as much as 30 degrees.

Keep in mind that these Fahrenheit to Celsius cooking charts are only a guide to basic cooking temperatures. If your recipe requires that the food be cooked at other temperatures or for a specific number of minutes or hours, follow it.
