What Is 425°F in Celsius?
425 degrees Fahrenheit is 218.333 degrees Celsius, normally written as 220 °C.
How to Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius
To convert degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9.
For example: 75 °F − 32 = 43, and 43 × 5/9 = 23.8889 °C.
Where You Meet This Number
This is the high setting on an American recipe: pizza, puff pastry, roasted root vegetables and bread. Metric recipes write it as 220 °C.
A pie baked at 425 °F for the first 15 minutes, then dropped to 350 °F, becomes 220 °C then 180 °C.
What People Get Wrong
At 425 °F the margin between browned and burnt is small, and oven thermostats are routinely off by 15 degrees in either direction. An oven thermometer costs little and settles the question.

About These Scales
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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 425 °F the same as 220 °C?
425 °F is 218.333 °C, so 220 °C is the standard equivalent and 1.7 degrees hotter.
What gas mark is 425 °F?
Gas mark 7, the setting British recipes simply call hot.
What is 425 °F on a fan oven?
Set a fan oven to about 200 °C, since a fan runs roughly 20 °C hotter in effect.
Why do pie recipes start hot and then drop?
The initial heat sets the pastry and melts its butter into steam, which makes the layers. Dropping the temperature then cooks the filling without burning the crust.
