  1. Enter 180 in the Celsius field
  2. Result: 356°F
  3. Set your oven to 356°F

Candy Making

Scenario: Making caramel requires precise temperature control at 160°C.

  1. Enter 160 in the Celsius field
  2. Result: 320°F
  3. Use a candy thermometer set to 320°F

Sous Vide Cooking

Scenario: Cooking steak at 55°C (medium-rare).

  1. Enter 55 in the Celsius field
  2. Result: 131°F
  3. Set your sous vide machine to 131°F

Scientific Examples

Laboratory Work

Scenario: A chemistry experiment requires 298.15 K (room temperature).

  1. Enter 298.15 in the Kelvin field
  2. Results:
    • 25°C (Celsius)
    • 77°F (Fahrenheit)
    • 536.67°R (Rankine)

Physics Calculations
