What 250°C is used for
Very hot oven
250°C (482°F) is hotter than Gas Mark 9. Many home ovens top out at around 250°C, which is why pizza and bread recipes often just say “as hot as your oven will go”.
Typical uses at this heat: pizza, flatbreads, crusty bread.
Not sure your oven really reaches 250°C? Many ovens run hotter or cooler than the dial. See how to check your oven’s temperature.
How to convert 250°C to °F
Multiply by 9, divide by 5, then add 32:
450 + 32 = 482°F
The quick “double it and add 30” trick gives 530°F, which is 48°F too high at this temperature. That’s fine for weather but not for baking, so use the exact figure.
