Celsius and Fahrenheit convert mathematically, but oven settings are usually rounded to practical increments. Fan ovens may need a lower setting than conventional ovens, yet appliance instructions and the specific recipe should take priority.

Pan-area conversions
A pan converter can compare surface area, but depth and shape still influence heat transfer. Scaling batter by area is a starting point, not a guarantee of identical baking time.
Ingredient conversions
Cups convert cleanly to millilitres only for volume. Converting a cup of flour, sugar or chocolate to grams requires an ingredient-specific density estimate. Use the original recipe’s weights where available.
Scaling eggs and leaveners
Large batches can expose rounding errors. Beat eggs and weigh the required portion when scaling precisely. Leaveners, salt and spices may not always scale linearly in very large or very small batches.
Use the tools as worksheets
The site converters are educational planning aids. Replace default assumptions with the recipe, package and equipment information in front of you.
