gas 1/4 110 °C 225 °F
gas 1/2 130 °C 250 °F
gas 1 140 °C 275 °F
gas 2 150 °C 300 °F
gas 3 160 °C 325 °F
gas 4 180 °C 350 °F
gas 5 190 °C 375 °F
gas 6 200 °C 400 °F
gas 7 220 °C 425 °F
gas 8 230 °C 450 °F
gas 9 240 °C 475 °F

If a recipe or oven manual uses a different table, follow that reference.

Safe internal temperature

This table is independent of the oven setting. Use a food thermometer.

The oven setting does not confirm that food reached a safe internal temperature.
Food Details Internal temperature Rest
Poultry Chicken, turkey and other poultry, including pieces, whole birds, ground poultry, giblets and stuffing cooked inside the bird. Measure at the thickest point without touching bone. 165 °F / 74 °C Not specified
Ground meat and sausage Ground or sausage forms of beef, bison, veal, goat, lamb and pork. Grinding can distribute surface bacteria throughout the mixture. 160 °F / 71 °C Not specified
Whole cuts Steaks, roasts and chops of beef, pork, veal, lamb, goat or bison. Resting allows the internal portions to finish reaching a safe temperature. 145 °F / 63 °C 3 minutes
Fish Whole fish or fillets such as salmon, tuna, tilapia, cod or trout. Fish may also be cooked until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. 145 °F / 63 °C Not specified
Casseroles With meat, poultry or no meat. Check the center of the dish, not only the surface. 165 °F / 74 °C Not specified
Reheated leftovers Any type of leftover food. Reheat evenly and measure the internal temperature. 165 °F / 74 °C Not specified
Raw eggs Eggs cooked on their own. Cook until the yolk and white are firm. See note Not specified
Egg dishes Frittatas, quiches and similar preparations. Check the center of the dish. 160 °F / 71 °C Not specified

Exact conversion and practical setting

The mathematical conversion keeps full precision; the practical setting rounds to common oven temperatures.

Exact

`180 °C` converts exactly to `356 °F`.

Practical

For ovens, `180 °C` is commonly set as `350 °F / gas 4`.

Fan oven

As a general guide, subtract `20 °C` or `25 °F` from the conventional setting.

Frequently asked questions

What is 180 °C in Fahrenheit for an oven?

180 °C equals exactly 356 °F. Home ovens commonly use the practical setting of 350 °F, approximately gas mark 4.

What is 350 °F in Celsius?

350 °F equals exactly 176.67 °C. As a practical oven setting, it is commonly rounded to 180 °C.

What gas mark equals 180 °C?

180 °C is approximately gas mark 4. Gas marks are approximate and can vary by oven.

Should I lower the temperature for a fan oven?

As a general guide, subtract 20 °C or 25 °F from the conventional setting. Follow the recipe or oven manufacturer when they provide different guidance.

Does the oven temperature guarantee that meat is cooked?

No. Oven temperature does not guarantee the internal temperature of the food. Use a food thermometer to check the center or thickest point.

Why is Kelvin shown as an advanced option?

Kelvin is useful for scientific conversion but is uncommon in recipes. The calculator keeps it available without making it part of the main workflow.
