Frequently Asked Questions

Why do oven temperatures need conversion?

Recipes from different countries use different scales, Fahrenheit in the US and Celsius in most of the rest of the world, so a recipe written for one needs converting to match an oven set to the other.

What’s the easiest way to keep household conversions handy?

Bookmark a converter tool, or keep a small printed reference near where you cook or pack for travel.
