Oven Temperature Equivalents

(In degrees) Sometimes I wander the aisles of Barnes & Nobles, scanning the cookbook aisles. After piling up tons of books in my arms, I head to the check out counter, purchase the books and leave the store very happy and excited to cook. Once I get home, I open up one of the books only to find out that it’s European. My immediate thought? “Fantastic.” (Sense the sarcasm?) My second thought? “It looks like I’ll be spending a lot of time online trying to figure out the correct oven temperature.” Well, hopefully this list of oven temperature equivalents will help…nothing beats having the information in one place.

• 250 F = 120 C
• 275 F = 140 C
• 300 F = 150 C
• 325 F = 180 C
• 375 F = 190 C
• 400 F = 200 C
• 425 F = 220 C
