Use the right kind of conversion

Temperature and mass units have defined mathematical conversions. Cups measure volume; converting a cup to grams requires the ingredient and measuring method. Use the original recipe’s gram weights where available.

Fahrenheit to Celsius

450°F = 232.2°C. This does not adjust for a fan oven.

Ounces to grams

1 mass ounce = 28.3495 g.

Check the formulas

Celsius = (Fahrenheit − 32) × 5 ÷ 9. Grams = mass ounces × 28.349523125. A fluid ounce is a volume and is not accepted by the weight calculator.

An arithmetic temperature conversion does not adjust a recipe for fan-assisted cooking or override equipment limits. Ingredient-specific volume guidance is available in the linked weight chart.
