What Oven Temperature Is 350°F in Celsius? A UK Cooking Conversion Guide.

Convert common US Fahrenheit oven temperatures for a UK kitchen, including the difference between conventional and fan ovens.

350°F is about 175°C in a conventional oven. For a fan-assisted oven, recipes often use a slightly lower setting — commonly around 160°C fan — because circulating air cooks food more efficiently.

Useful rough conversions include:

These figures are a starting point, not a guarantee. Ovens vary, fan settings are not always identical, and recipe writers may use rounded numbers. If a recipe matters — a cake, roast or first attempt at something new — check its progress rather than relying only on the dial.

Conventional, fan and gas marks

US recipes generally quote Fahrenheit for a conventional oven. UK recipes may give conventional Celsius, fan Celsius and a gas mark. A fan oven usually needs a lower temperature than a conventional oven, while a gas mark is a separate scale entirely.

The Temperature Converter gives exact Celsius and Fahrenheit values instantly. Use it for any number in a recipe, then choose the appropriate fan or conventional adjustment for your oven.

For baking, an oven thermometer can be worthwhile: it tells you what your oven is actually doing, rather than what the control says.
