Under the hood

Pure formula. USDA reference temps.

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

01
Fahrenheit → Celsius
(°F − 32) × 5/9. The freezing point of water sits at 32°F / 0°C; boiling at 212°F / 100°C.
02
USDA cold-storage targets
Refrigerator below 40°F (4°C). Freezer at 0°F (−18°C). These prevent bacterial growth on perishable foods.
03
Convection adjustment
Fan ovens cook ~25% faster — subtract 25°F (14°C) from any conventional recipe to compensate.
