What is 180°C in Fahrenheit?

Quick explanation

180°C is a very common baking temperature (often described as a “moderate” oven). Convert 180°C to Fahrenheit quickly for US ovens. For more conversions, use Celsius to Fahrenheit or browse the kitchen oven hub.

Answer / Value

180°C = 356.0°F

Most ovens are marked in 5°C steps, so rounding is normal.

For most ovens, you can round to 355°F or 360°F.

Fan/convection ovens often run about 20°C lower (check your oven).

Common use: cookies, cakes, casseroles.

Calculation steps

How to convert 180°C to Fahrenheit manually

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32.

Practical kitchen rounding

180°C = 356°F ≈ 350°F or 355°F

Rounded settings are normal because many ovens use practical step increments.

Worked example

Input: 180

Exact: (180 × 9/5) + 32 = 356°F

Practical: many recipes treat 180°C near 350°F in shorthand.

About these units

Why 180°C Is Common

180°C is widely used for moderate baking where even cooking and balanced browning are important.

Common foods: cakes, muffins, cookies, and casseroles.
Often used when recipes call for reliable interior cooking without aggressive browning.

Practical Fahrenheit Setting

Exact conversion is 356°F, but real ovens are often set by practical increments, so 350°F or 355°F may be used depending on your oven.

180°C = 356°F (exact).
Fan/convection settings are often adjusted lower than standard oven settings.
Gas mark reference is commonly around Gas Mark 4.

Tips

Many recipe charts round temperatures (e.g., 400°F → 200°C) for convenience.

When scaling recipes, convert to metric first (mL/g), scale, then convert back if needed.

A dark baking tray can brown food faster than a light tray at the same temperature.
