About 190°C / 374°F: Cooking Temperature Facts

190°C (374°F) is considered a medium-high cooking temperature that's versatile for various baking and roasting applications. This temperature is 90 degrees above the boiling point of water and represents a sweet spot for many recipes.

At 190°C, you get balanced heat that cooks food thoroughly without excessive browning. It's hot enough to create beautiful golden crusts on baked goods while ensuring the interior cooks evenly. This makes it particularly suitable for cakes, cookies, and moderate roasting.

Important: 190°C is not a body temperature. Normal human body temperature is around 37°C (98.6°F). 190°C would be dangerously hot for humans.
