200 Celsius to Fahrenheit

200 Celsius to Fahrenheit is one of the most common questions popping up in your mind when you’re looking for baking recipes.

If you bake a lot, you’re going to search for new recipes from other countries, and more often than not these recipes include baking temperature instructions in Celsius.

So what to do, when your oven is showing you the temperature in Fahrenheit?

Let us give you the answers.

How much is 200 Celsius in Fahrenheit?

200° Celsius equals 392° Fahrenheit.

Of course, we know how annoying it is to scroll over your phone with flour-covered hands and calculate the conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit while being busy in the kitchen.

The solution? Voila, a free printable pdf chartwith conversions from Celsius to Fahrenheit and values commonly used for baking.

The Celsius scale

The Celsius temperature measuring scale was invented by Swedish astronomer, physicist and mathematician Anders Celsius in which 0°C is the freezing temperature point of water, and 100°C is the boiling temperature point.

It is the most commonly used temperature scale worldwide, except in the US, the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Belize and Liberia.

The Fahrenheit scale

What is Fahrenheit?

Fahrenheit is a thermodynamic temperature scale by which water freezes at 32 °F and boils at 212 °F. It was named after the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit.

It was propagated around the world by the expansion of the British empire. Although the Fahrenheit scale is not in use in Europe and around most of the world, it is still the most commonly used temperature measuring scale in the US.

Celsius to Fahrenheit equation

So let’s say you’ve bumped into a really delicious-looking Greek Pastitsio recipe. You want to make this today, but the baking instruction is in Celsius, of course. So what to do?

You can calculate the needed oven temperature using the equation to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit:

°F = °C (9/5) + 32

or

°F = (°C x 1.8) + 32

200 Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion

So how much is 200 Celsius in Fahrenheit?

Let’s calculate it.

(200°C x 1.8) + 32 = 392°F

Reverse conversion: 392°Fahrenheit to Celsius

But what if you’re living in Europe and you are following a food blogger based in the US?

You just got a recipe for tasty, quick-to-make cinnamon rolls in your mail, but the recipe follows the Fahrenheit scale?

Again, the conversion is a piece of cake.

The equation to convert Fahrenheit into degrees Celsius looks like this:

°C = (°F – 32) x 0.5556

hence

(392°F – 32) x 0.5556 = 200°C

200 Celsius to Fahrenheit to gas mark

Gas mark ovens use another system of regulating the temperature in the oven.

Gas mark 1 equals 135 °C or 275 °F. Each time the temperature increases a mark, that basically means 13.9 °C or 25 °F higher temperature in the oven.

To sum it up, 200°C (or 392°F) translates to gas mark 6 in a gas mark oven.

Let’s see Fahrenheit to Celsius to gas mark table:

FAHRENHEIT	CELSIUS	GAS MARK
225 °F	107 °C	1⁄4
250 °F	121 °C	1⁄2
275 °F	135 °C	1
300 °F	149 °C	2
325 °F	163 °C	3
350 °F	177 °C	4
375 °F	191 °C	5
400 °F	204 °C	6
425 °F	218 °C	7
450 °F	232 °C	8
475 °F	246 °C	9
500 °F	260 °C	10

200°C/392°F in a conventional oven

A conventional oven usually has a heating element at the bottom of the oven. The main difference between a conventional and convection oven is the uneven circulation of the heat.

However, most of the recipes, especially the older ones, include baking temperature instructions according to baking time in the conventional oven.

If you own a conventional oven, you will most probably be able to bake any goods using most of the recipes with a simple conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

200°C/392°F in a convection oven

Now here comes a brand new convection oven in the picture.

Have you noticed, that the usual recipe instructions do not apply to baking in the convection oven?

That’s because the convection oven has a built-in fan, which is responsible for the evenly circulated heat in the oven. Also, the heating elements are placed on the upper and lower part of the convection oven, which usually results in your croissants being baked more evenly. It’s a faster heating process compared to a conventional oven.

So how can this problem be solved?

Simply by reducing the temperature from the recipe instructions by 25°F or 20 °C or reducing the baking time by about 20%.

Meaning, 200 °C in a conventional oven equals to 180 °C using a convection oven.

Baking at 392 °F in a conventional oven is equal to baking at 367 °F in a convection oven.

However, you need to be very careful if baking at high temperatures and reducing the time of baking. It might quickly happen that your bread will look overbaked on the outside, but still not thoroughly baked on the inside.

Conclusion

200 degrees Celsius converted to Fahrenheit equals 392 °F.

The temperature at 200 °C or 392 °F is represented by gas mark 6 (5.7) in a gas mark oven.

When baking goods in a convection oven, it is advisable to reduce the temperature from 200 °C to 180 °C or from 392 °F to 367 °F.
