About Temperature Converter
The Temperature Converter is a free, accurate tool for converting temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin. Whether you're checking the weather, following a recipe, or doing scientific calculations, this converter provides instant, precise results.
Temperature conversion is essential in many fields: Cooking (ovens and recipes use different scales), Weather (different countries use Celsius or Fahrenheit), Science and engineering (Kelvin is the standard), Travel (understanding local weather), and Medicine (body temperature monitoring).
Our converter handles all three scales with high precision. Simply enter your temperature, select the source and target units, and get instant results with detailed conversion information.

Common Cooking Temperatures
🔥 Oven Temperatures
- • 120°C (250°F): Low/slow cooking
- • 150°C (300°F): Roasting vegetables
- • 180°C (350°F): Standard baking
- • 200°C (400°F): Roasting meats
- • 220°C (425°F): Pizza and bread
- • 240°C (475°F): Broiling
🥩 Internal Meat Temperatures
- • Chicken: 74°C (165°F)
- • Pork: 63°C (145°F)
- • Beef (medium): 63°C (145°F)
- • Fish: 63°C (145°F)
- • Veal: 63°C (145°F)
- • Lamb: 63°C (145°F)
* Always use a meat thermometer for food safety. USDA recommends these minimum temperatures.
Temperature Conversion Tips
- 💡Remember key reference points: 0°C = 32°F (water freezes), 100°C = 212°F (water boils), 37°C = 98.6°F (body temp), -40°C = -40°F (crossover point).
- 💡Mental approximation for cooking: Celsius to Fahrenheit: multiply by 2 and add 30 (e.g., 180°C × 2 = 360 + 30 = 390°F, close to 350°F).
- 💡Kelvin for science: Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15. No negative values in Kelvin makes it ideal for scientific calculations (e.g., gas laws, thermodynamics).
- 💡Check weather conversion: 20°C = 68°F (pleasant), 30°C = 86°F (warm), 10°C = 50°F (chilly). Good benchmarks for travel planning.
- 💡Altitude affects boiling point: At higher altitudes, water boils at lower temperatures. Use our converter to adjust cooking times for your elevation.
