Celsius to Fahrenheit
130°C to Fahrenheit
130°C is 266°F, between Gas Mark ½ and 1. In a fan oven, use 110°C.
130 degrees Celsius equals
266°F
Nearest US oven setting: 275°F
What 130°C is used for
Cool oven
130°C sits between Gas Mark ½ (120°C) and Gas Mark 1 (140°C). You will see it in slow-cooking recipes and as a fan-oven setting: 130°C fan is about 150°C in a conventional oven.
Typical uses at this heat: slow roasts, pavlova, rich fruit cake.
Not sure your oven really reaches 130°C? Many ovens run hotter or cooler than the dial. See how to check your oven’s temperature.
How to convert 130°C to °F
Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32:
234 + 32 = 266°F
The quick “double it and add 30” trick gives 290°F, which is 24°F too high at this temperature. That’s fine for weather but not for baking, so use the exact figure.

Common questions
What is 130°C in Fahrenheit?
130°C is 266°F. On a US oven dial, use 275°F.
What Gas Mark is 130°C?
130°C is between Gas Mark ½ and 1. Use the nearer mark and check the food a little early.
What is 130°C in a fan oven?
Use 110°C in a fan oven. Fan ovens circulate hot air, so UK recipes reduce the conventional temperature by 20°C. If your recipe already says “130°C fan”, don’t reduce it again.
Is 130°C hot?
130°C counts as a cool oven. Typical uses: slow roasts, pavlova, rich fruit cake.
