Pure formula. USDA reference temps.

Conversion uses the international standard formula. Reference safe-handling temperatures come from USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service guidelines.

  1. 01

    Fahrenheit → Celsius

    (°F − 32) × 5/9. The freezing point of water sits at 32°F / 0°C; boiling at 212°F / 100°C.

  2. 02

    USDA cold-storage targets

    Refrigerator below 40°F (4°C). Freezer at 0°F (−18°C). These prevent bacterial growth on perishable foods.

  3. 03

    Convection adjustment

    Fan ovens cook ~25% faster — subtract 25°F (14°C) from any conventional recipe to compensate.
