A convection oven is set lower than a conventional oven for the same recipe. 20 °C is the usual figure (Which?) and 25 °F the usual US rule of thumb. Both are editorial rules of thumb, and 20 °C is 36 °F, so they are not the same size. Many ovens adjust automatically. Check your manual.

(425 °F − 32) × 5 ÷ 9 = 218.3 °C. The dial value is rounded to the nearest 10 °C or 25 °F.

Ovens vary, so use an oven thermometer to check.

425 F in Celsius: the working

425 °F is a common hot-oven setting for roasting vegetables and baking bread. British recipes usually write it as 220 °C, gas mark 7.

(425 °F − 32) × 5 ÷ 9 = 218.3 °C. The dial value is rounded to the nearest 10 °C or 25 °F.

Common questions

What is the exact conversion?

218.3 °C is 425 °F. The dial value is rounded to 220 °C or 425 °F.

Do I need to change it for a convection oven?

A recipe written for a conventional oven is usually set about 20 °C (25 °F) lower in a convection oven. Many ovens do this for you, so check your manual and your oven thermometer.
