What is 325 °F in Celsius?
325 °F is 163 °C, so set the oven to 160 °C — or 140 °C if it’s a fan (convection) oven. That’s gas mark 3; in an air fryer, about 300 °F (150 °C).

Fan (convection) ovens cook hotter, so set them about 20 °C lower (25 °F in American recipes). Every oven runs a little differently — an oven thermometer shows the real temperature.
Good to know:
- 325 °F is a moderately slow oven for things that should bake evenly without over-browning: cheesecake, pound cake, brownies — and the Thanksgiving turkey.
- A 12–14 lb unstuffed turkey takes about 3–3¾ hours at 325 °F. It's done when the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 °F.
- In an air fryer, about 300 °F: low enough to reheat leftovers without drying them out.

Questions:
- Is 325 °F a low oven?
- It's moderately slow. “Slow” is about 300 °F, “moderate” 350 °F and “hot” 400–425 °F.
- How long to bake a cheesecake at 325 °F?
- About 55–70 minutes for a 9-inch cheesecake, until the edge is set and the center still jiggles a little. A water bath helps prevent cracks.
- Can I bake brownies at 325 °F instead of 350 °F?
- Yes — add 5–10 minutes. They bake more evenly and the edges stay softer.
