CONVERTERS AND CONVERSION CHARTS
Temperature Chart
Australia uses the Celsius scale as our standard. We've provided a handy Celsius and Fahrenheit chart to help you convert how hot or cold it is outside to numbers that are more familiar to you. The Oven Temperatures Chart is useful when you're using a recipe that gives the temperature in a different scale to one you normally use.

Oven Temperatures

should be set 10-20° lower than what is called for in the recipe.
