What Is 200°C in Fahrenheit?
200 degrees Celsius is 392 degrees Fahrenheit.
How to Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
To convert degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5, then add 32.
For example: 25 °C × 9/5 = 45, and 45 + 32 = 77 °F.
Where You Meet This Number
Metric recipes use 200 °C for roasting vegetables, baking bread and anything that needs browning rather than gentle cooking. The nearest American dial setting is 400 °F.
Roast potatoes at 200 °C for 45 minutes translate to 400 °F for the same time in an American oven.
What People Get Wrong
Rounding 392 °F down to 375 °F costs you the browning. When a recipe reaches for 200 °C it usually wants the Maillard reaction, and that is temperature-sensitive — round up to 400 °F, not down.

About These Scales
Degree Celsius
The Celsius scale puts the freezing point of water at 0 degrees and its boiling point at 100 degrees at sea level. It is the everyday temperature scale in nearly every country except the United States.
Degree Fahrenheit
On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees, so one Fahrenheit degree is 5/9 the size of a Celsius degree. It remains the standard scale for weather, ovens and body temperature in the United States.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 200 °C the same as 400 °F?
200 °C is exactly 392 °F, so 400 °F is 8 degrees hotter. That is close enough for roasting and is the setting American ovens actually have.
What gas mark is 200 °C?
Gas mark 6, described in British recipes as "moderately hot".
Is 200 °C hot enough for pizza?
Not really. Home pizza wants 220 to 250 °C (425 to 480 °F), and a pizza oven runs far hotter still.
What is 200 °C fan?
A fan oven at 200 °C is roughly equivalent to a conventional oven at 220 °C, which is 428 °F.
