About the Cooking Temperature Converter
This tool converts between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and UK Gas Mark, three temperature scales commonly used in recipes from different regions. It uses the standard conversion formulas: Fahrenheit = Celsius x 9/5 + 32, Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) x 5/9, Gas Mark = (Celsius - 121) / 14, and Celsius = Gas Mark x 14 + 121. It also labels the result with a general oven-heat description (from "Very Low / Warm" below 120°C up to "Very High / Searing" above 230°C) and, if you select a food type, shows a food-safety or doneness temperature guide for that food.
The doneness guide draws on commonly cited safe minimum internal temperatures and typical doneness targets: chicken/poultry to 74°C (165°F) throughout, fish to 63°C (145°F) until it flakes easily, and a range of doneness points for beef, pork and lamb from rare through well done. These are general reference points, not official food-safety regulations for your specific country -- always confirm current food-safety guidance from your national health authority (such as the USDA or FSA) for meat and poultry safe cooking temperatures.
