How to Convert 230 Celsius to Fahrenheit: Exact Formula

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, use the following formula:

°F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Start with the temperature in Celsius: 230°C
  2. Multiply by 9/5: 230 × 9/5 = 230 × 1.8 = 414
  3. Add 32: 414 + 32 = 446
  4. Result: 230°C = 446°F

About 230°C / 446°F: Oven Temperature Facts

230°C (446°F) is considered a high-heat oven temperature that's perfect for achieving crispy, golden-brown results in baked goods. This temperature is 130 degrees above the boiling point of water and represents the upper range of most domestic oven settings.

At 230°C, you can expect rapid moisture evaporation from food surfaces, creating the ideal conditions for crust formation while ensuring the interior cooks properly. This makes it particularly suitable for artisan breads, pizzas, and other items where a crisp exterior is desired.

Safety First: 230°C (446°F) is extremely hot and can cause severe burns instantly. Always use proper oven mitts, avoid reaching into hot ovens, and keep children away from the cooking area.

Practical Applications of 230°C (446°F)

Baking & Pastry

230°C excels in high-heat baking applications:

  • Artisan breads: Creates perfect crust on sourdough, baguettes, and ciabatta
  • Pizza perfection: Ideal for crispy thin-crust pizzas with bubbly cheese
  • Pastry items: Excellent for puff pastry, croissants, and vol-au-vents
  • Flatbreads: Perfect for naan, pita, and other quick-bake flatbreads
Fan Oven Conversion

For fan-assisted (convection) ovens, reduce the temperature:

  • Conventional oven: 230°C = 446°F
  • Fan oven: 210°C ≈ 410°F (reduce by 20°C)

This adjustment accounts for the improved heat circulation in fan ovens. Check our fan oven conversion chart for complete guidance.

Roasting & Cooking

While primarily a baking temperature, 230°C has cooking uses:

  • Initial searing: Perfect for starting roast meats before reducing heat
  • Vegetable roasting: Great for quick-roasting sturdy vegetables
  • Flash cooking: Ideal for thin cuts of meat or fish
  • Reheating: Excellent for crisping up previously cooked items
Temperature Ranges

Understanding where 230°C fits in oven temperature ranges:

  • Moderate: 180-200°C (350-400°F) - Most cakes, cookies
  • Hot: 200-220°C (400-430°F) - Pies, scones, some breads
  • Very Hot: 220-240°C (430-465°F) - Pizza, artisan breads
  • 230°C position: Upper range of "Very Hot" category

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 230 Celsius in Fahrenheit for baking?

230°C converts to 446°F for baking. This is a high-heat temperature ideal for items that need a crispy crust and quick cooking, such as artisan breads, pizzas, and certain pastries.

What is 230°C in a fan oven?

For a fan-assisted (convection) oven, set the temperature to 210°C (410°F) instead of 230°C. Fan ovens circulate hot air more efficiently, so they require lower temperatures to achieve similar results.

Is 230°C too hot for cakes?

Yes, 230°C is generally too hot for most cakes. Cakes typically bake best at 160-180°C (320-350°F). The high heat at 230°C would cause the outside to burn before the inside cooks through. Check our 180°C conversion guide for cake baking temperatures.

How long to preheat oven to 230°C?

Most ovens take 15-20 minutes to reach 230°C (446°F). For best results, use an oven thermometer to verify the temperature, as oven thermostats can be inaccurate. Allow extra time if using a baking stone or steel.

What's the difference between 230°C and 250°C?

230°C (446°F) is a high baking temperature, while 250°C (482°F) is approaching the maximum for most domestic ovens. The 20°C difference can significantly reduce cooking time and increase browning. 250°C is often used for professional pizza ovens or the self-cleaning cycle.

Can I use 230°C for frozen pizza?

Yes, 230°C (446°F) works well for frozen pizza, but check the package instructions. Most frozen pizzas recommend 200-220°C (400-430°F). At 230°C, reduce the cooking time by 2-3 minutes and watch carefully to prevent burning.
