Ever notice the first step for baking a cookie is almost always to preheat the oven to 350 degrees?
Even when you’re baking something else, an oven with a digital temperature reader typically defaults to 350. What’s so magical about this number and why is it that so many recipes call for it?
I spoke with longtime pastry chef and Institute of Culinary Education creative director Michael Laiskonis and found that - as with most “magical” things - it’s actually science.
Special thanks to Chef Daniel Kleinhandler of Bar Boulud and Boulud Sud and Chef Jenny McCoy for their help with this video!

350° Fahrenheit = 176° Celsius. If you're curious why America still uses Fahrenheit, watch our video to find out: bit.ly/2JAuXcN
Because you wanna feel special
It’s 177 not 176
Well! Thank you but you're 2 minutes late i pulled my unit converter app as soon as i heard the scary number. at first i thought that you're making some nuclear cookies or something.
People have computers and watch youtube all over the world, not just in america! Nobody else uses Fahrenheit...
It's 176 plus two thirds, not 177.
This video should have been 3:50 minutes long
steve b lol chill 😂
rn its #35 on trending
Amusing idea and all, but no. Videos should not be deliberately made to be longer than necessary.
Chehal Ravi its 3.5 minutes
Hahahahahahaha
Every other country: *heavy breathing*
Iliekwaffles Canada uses imperial (US measurements) for some stuff and metric for others. Its just useful for different stuff. Like I'm an architect and I like to use feet when designing because I can visualize a foot much easier than a meter. Stairs are a great example for this, since we use one foot on each stair. However, for very long distances, I use kilometers because it's impossible to think of 1000 feet.
As for baking, all our stoves have both measurements on them. We trade a lot though with america so we just use their system. A lot of everyday life things haven't changed to metric, like weight and height and cooking.
So proud of their metric, as though THEY personally decided to use it rather than it being required.
Philippines uses both as well for different stuff!! Tho some people might prefer one that others may not. Like for example, we all use kilograms when measuring our weight but when measuring height, we might use centimeters for documents for school and stuff and use feet when talking to people about our height ^^
Brendon Fraser you’re only able to visualise it because you’ve used it your whole life, i personally can visualise meters much better than feet
I bake at 420 and the brownies are always perfect
Eyyy
Nice
Always 420
some might even say the brownies are... baked
420 weed brownie
Video is 3:33 long instead of 3:50.
I'm going to riot!
It's probably so that the video builds up less toxicity*.
*) acrylamide
Sai Skanda
The video is still raw!
But that's almost equal to 3,5 minutes
Oh no
It's gotta be about _Tree Fiddy_
Damn you Loch Ness Monster, I ain't giving you no tree fiddy!
I miss the old South Park
Lol
The Trammell haha tree
I read free tiddy
I just love how Vox uploads videos about things I never knew I was interested in
Haha. And Vox creator like this comment. ❤️
Yeesh, pretty bad time to head a baking institute called ICE.
However, I did rejoice at the thought of someone calling ICE on a neighbor and getting the wrong number ;D
"Sir, a concerned neighbor called us in. We did some research on you. Do you recognize this quiche? Yes? Well, I'm afraid we will have to come in for a minute then. You are due for some culinary re-education."
The Culinary Institute of America also has an unfortunate acronym.
Baking in an internal combustion engine? I think itll just blow apart dawg. (I dont care if this isnt really relivant to what you said... It popped into my head and I had to say it. Good day sirs.)
AeroGold1 CIA? Oooooohhhh.... i had to type that to get it lol
AeroGold1: My family & I used to make jokes about that all the time.
You need a Level 4 Clearance to enter the kitchen.
That cookie recipe is classified.
Supplies for this mission are limited, so you'll be going in with only a #4 spatula.
that pastry chef from ICE literally looks like a dark-haired version of the dude who killed a man with his thumb from Ratatouille
Lol Yeah 😂😜
For those wondering. It takes literally 5 seconds to concert any temperature. 350F - 32=318
318 divided by 1.8 = 176.66 C repeating.
You can do this with any number and if you wanna go from Fahrenheit to Celsius just do it completely backwards. Multiply 1.8 then add 32.
or just google 350f or write 350f in your iphone search thing. I measured the time it takes for me to find out how many celsius 350°F is and it took me 1,63 seconds. It's not hard people, especially when they include the celsius amount in the video
0:31 That’s an unfortunate acronym for “Institute of Culinary Education”
I see a lot of comments about Metric and Imperial, I don't know about other Metric countries but here in Canada we tend to use both forms of measurements. Pool temperature is almost always said in Fahrenheit, so 80 is great, 75 is cool, and 65 is where did my n*ds go! And baking is always done in Fahrenheit, 350, 450 etc. . . Also, houses are framed with 2x4's in Canada NOT 5x10's so that's also a thing. I always find when measuring that if a distance works out to an even number of centimetres than I'll use that number, but if it works more evenly in inches than I'll use that; I think knowing and using both is so much better. (Oh, and when you post stuff in Canada it's always how many pounds, not how many kgs)
Edit: And also air temperature is always read in Celsius, so like the "The pool is 78, and that's great because this 30degree weather is killing me."
Yep. I like to classify it as stuff you study in school tends to be in metric, and stuff you do at home tends to be in imperial. I'd love to be fully metric, but even my stove is in imperial anyway.
how did you get steve buscemi on here?!
Great now I want cookies
Erica Lin ..
...yrhoomugtnk
Thanks for the metric version at 0:04
very informative! and good to know you can play around with the temps a little
Insert triggered comment about not using Celsius.
t c, let's hope you didn't just inflame New Atheists. (Or true Christians who'd object to using The Lord's name in vain. - Should only be used for cookies that are truly divine.)
They showed it was 180°C. I dont understand Fahrenheit, and I don't understand how it's only used in the UsA
t c LMAO
Because it is easier and based on science and not just made up by someone who didn't understand the principle of 10 in math . Oh and because we can, because we lead the free world and if it weren't for us you would be baking German treats instead of Celcius cookies uk a ha see what I did there, I'm so clever Nah just insulting you back you pompous naggy baker you
They should have used Celsius, and put the Fahrenheit conversion in the comments
So did ovens melt steel beams? Investigate ovens. Keep asking questions.
Our Founding Liars only if you use Celsius like every other country.
John Hunter one huge one the size of Trump’s ass.
Doesn’t melt but weakens
Did you know..... You call 911 when you have an emergency???
The real question is: Does jet fuel melt steel?
For those wondering: 350°F = 177°C
Literally says it at the start
Thank you -Everyone else on planet earth
0:04
God's work!
Usually rounded up to 180 in practice 😉
As someone who doesn't bake at all, this video was surprisingly easy to understand. I came to this video thinking I was going to get lost at some point, but I didn't! Great writing.
Quick and informative video! Thanks
"Onion is on 350"
Undo is on three fundo
Good job everybody
Just came to say I approve :)
when in doubt, bake at 350 degrees ☺️
haha this is also my takeaway.

ตน
Fahrenheit or Celsius?
Baking is chemistry, which is why it's so much more important to get your proportions right for your cookies than it is for the rub on your ribs. Which is why I usually convert my baking recipes to mass and measure with a scale instead of volume. Much more precise.
Perfect low quality low impact content. Thanks Vox!
simple answer: _420 was already taken._
...if you want to get baked. ; )
XD
Next step for tweet length. Everybody knows we need it for world peace.
You don't bake 420, 420 bakes you.
That cookie doesn’t even look that good though
American cookies ain’t it :(
Fr I was like, this guy is an expert? It looked like store bought cooking
Great video! I enjoyed the history bit specially, it's always worth taking a look at how things were done before, humanity forgets very fast
Never really thought about that before! Thanks for the video!
Halfway through this video I realized I’ve learned all of this in science class not too long ago
Bob Didlboc
Congratulations. Now you just got a refresher course on what you were taught in class.
In a galaxy not too far away? Sorry im a nerd.
That moment when one of your teachers is featured in a video you just so happened to stumble upon... the pastry world is small I tell ya 😂😂
Was he as creepy as he looked? Gives off serial killer vibes.
@vox staff people, this video is super cool. It has a little science, a little history, and a question that makes you think "yeah I did always wonder that in the back of my head but for some reason never questioned it". I like your guys' stuff.
Plus your stuff is approachable for doofs like me.
Thanks, Vox for answering questions I didn’t know I wanted answers to
So baked.
I bake at 18904 Delsiums my brownies, which are something like 3542 Oxydelzios or 1402 bananometers, which is a measure i personally made up but hey i dont care about the rest of the world
Julian Julian Dumbass, this is an American company and they use customary units. I wonder why
you are making my point
Julian Julian And you’re making mine
Julian Julian Oh no! Because conversion is so DIFFICULT.
Julian Julian as soon as 320,000,000 people use you’re same measurement and all appliances made for those people use that same measurement then you can use that logic. Until then, shut up
I’m pretty sure someone said this already but my goodness, the more you freaken know. This is interesting & something intriguing cause I’ve noticed this specific instructional temperature on all sorts of recipe & box.
Love the channel!
350 degrees is the perfect temp? Oh lord, time to thank my mom. She always tells us to leave the oven on 350, not matter what the directions say. 🙄
No matter what the directions say??... O no
Ah yes, gotta love our European viewers, who instead of paying attention to the video, noting its extraordinary content, or asking more questions about it, decide to continuously scream and whine about Fahrenheit temperature being used in this video.
and now I'm going to face a wave of furious replies.
Scaffolding well, it's been a day. Where are they?
Its not just Europeans, its everybody
They should’ve said the Celsius temperatures, and shown the Fahrenheit conversion on the screen. America should catch up with the rest of the world, by converting to the metric system, as well as banning guns, free healthcare and free college education.
Here they are now.
Scaffolding That took longer than expected.
That animation turning 350 degrees to VOX was a nice touch. The only thing I would suggest is somehow adding the flicker that the display would have.
Baked for almost 20 years as a professional.350 is a round about number depending on the oven.350 is good for cakes,muffins and cookies and a few other things.400 for breads,danish,croissants,puff dough.A good number of breads go in at about 500 with steam and get dropped to 400.
All because they used Fahrenheit does not mean Americans are so egocentric to the point they don’t understand what other countries are. It’s not that big of a deal, partially because they included the Celsius measure right at the beginning of the video.
No need to claim Americans are the entitled ones when 90% of the comments are people complaining their precise temperature needs weren’t met, when the other temperatures are easily resolved with a google search.
For all of you who will find any insignificant reason to complain about Americans, I did the grueling backbreaking work and converted the other temperatures to Celsius.
240°F=115°C
325°F=163°C
375°F=191°C
500°F=260°C
Honestly I’ve seen more comments complaining about the people who are complaining about them not using Celsius than comments complaining about them not using Celsius
Really? Those are pretty much the only comments I’ve seen, but I saw the video about an hour after it uploaded. Maybe they got flooded out as time went on.
Most of the Americas use Celcius, the U.S. Is the only one. This video was made in the U.S. Thus F instead of C. If you missed the conversion at beginning of video, that is on you. BTW, most U.S. Citizens have knowledge of some sort about the metric system, we are hardly behind the times.
I know, that’s part of the point I was trying to make lol.
I never baked in my life!
This is your best video yet
Netflix Original: Explained turned me on to Vox and I'm in love.
1:46 - 2:00
You can find the answer here, which seems pretty obvious
The real answer is at 2:54 - 3:08. 350 degrees was semi-arbitrarily substituted for "moderate". As the centigrade/Fahrenheit discussion reveals, Europeans bake their cookies at 356 degrees (180 C).
Wow super
That was a great one! Thx
You guys submitted this video at the right time. I want to make cookies with a friend this weekend.
YES THIS WAS A COOL VIDEO INSTEAD OF COOKIES HOW ABOUT BOBA EGG ROLLS th-cam.com/video/vBl8hpVrXQI/w-d-xo.html
But why are other temperatures always in 25 degree increments?
I'd guess quarters of 100 for roundness' sake.
Why are you here tho?
I think this video was recommended to me based on how much SciShow I watch?
i love you, beautiful vox people :) will surely think of this video every time i bake
Thank you for the info, I never wondered why 350F was the hot spot heck I becked lower sense I thought that was middle thank you!
*Please use Celsius!*
OH MY GOD will you all stop whining? Vox is an AMERICAN company. Making videos IN AMERICA. They interviewed an AMERICAN chef. They even talked about the history OF AMERICA on this topic. OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO USE FAHRENHEIT! Yet still, they were kind enough to show Celsius FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES (0:05, 1:25, 1:28, 1:34) but y'all STILL complain. You know, I rarely see Americans complain when another country uses its system of measurement, from the Metric system to the stone (yeah, only the British really use that so don't even come at me with the 'bUt EvERyoNe ElsE UsEs iT') You suck it up, either know both or google it. It takes half a second. You want to watch American content? Welcome to the American system of measurements.
“mERicA! You have healthcare, and subsidised education? wE gOwT GunS unD FaRInHyTT”
That chef will use celsius when working
lmao y r u so pressed
JazzyNym Personally I've learnt to not mind Fahrenheit even though I use Metric as long as there is a Metric measurement beside it so I know.
JazzyNym I'm glad you got that off your chest! 😂😂😂
i never wondered why it was 350° until i saw this video on my recommended, thanks 😂
TH-cam shows me something Im actually interesting in while I’m baking
Less than 5% of the world's population lives in a country where Fahrenheit is the standard temperature scale, so on behalf of the rest of us I would like to formally say "Huh? Wha?"
cavalrycome okay
0:04
She literally opens up with " ... in America"
This is an American channel, for American viewers.
cavalrycome actually 5.3%
Well, I get baked at 420
You beat me to the punchline. Now I have to try to find my other replies so I can delete them.
Lolzzzz
Great video!
Thanks. Even though I have no interest in baking, you gave me insight about the puzzling directions on my pizza box, ha ha.
This video looks really promising!
It was great indeed!
I love how many people are complaining about the lack of Celsius, when at 0:04 it says 350°F (180°C).
Zzyzx Wolfe
1:49 , 1:57
Thanks for the info.
I found the shot of Kimberly throwing away the cookie endearing. And it basically encapsulates my whole cooking experience.
Why is this video not 3:50?
Are you guys going to come on to every vox video and complain when they don't use celsius? Don't you have something better to do? It's getting annoying. Everyone commenting about how the should say celsius must have poor listening skills. She even said "in America". Even I can use 180 degrees celsius as a benchmark and figure out the approximations and i'm a dumb american.
Maeve Franklin
Hopefully US catches up with the rest of the world.
Did the rest of the world invent TH-cam or Windows/Mac OS?
when I watch a video from another country, I understand they use Celsius,
and just silently convert into Fahrenheit because I understand both.
(even the BOTH are printed on the screen, don't even need to think)
VideoNozoki ya North Korea invented TH-cam and Myanmar intended Macs - that’s why they don’t use Celsius like Trumpland.
VideoNozoki No you don’t. If I told you it was 20 degrees outside you’d have no idea what it would feel like.
bogboy what? Lol this is not true
"-head on over to Eaters"
nah sister, you ain't takin me to a secondary location
I kept thinking this was Zooey Deschanel!
Science with Katie you are everywhere😂
I THOUGHT THE SAME
This person uses like bots
I'm replying to her comment again 😅😅
And again I'm just after Timothy hilditch 😂😂
YESSS I love her voice!
We’re just gonna put that in the onion on four-hunion - YSAC
Hey. You know what? You don't suck at comments.
I just baked yesterday and today vox made a video on it.
Man, can you imagine living before standardized temperature?
i never understand why the rest of the world cares so much that we don't use metric, like americans made this video if an american wanted to watch british or whatever other country produced videos we would know it would have metric measurements, why do you care so much about what we do over here?
Did you know that "80% of TH-cam’s views are from outside of the U.S" so it makes sense for American youtube channels to use metric so that most people have a better idea of what the F they are talking about.
Keaira Hall ve
TH-cam is a platform but Vox is a US channel. Not all channels will cater to you. Get over it.
350F° is 175(176,66...)C°
I’m suddenly craving chocolate chips and a sirloin at 8am.
When you say head on over to our other channel, it would be helpful to put a link in the description. I'm gonna go search for it now, but you might find a lot more traffic if you include a link :)
lmao living for these salty people complaining about fahrenheit
Sarah Stanley
Trump’s undies
thank you for your valuable contribution to this discussion
Sarah Stanley ...said nobody ever to Trump.
In the outside US world, 180°C is the normal baking temperature (356°F)
surfie007 She literally said " in America"
The people who came with the number specifically used 350 F, then the world changed it from 176 to 180 C for roundness. So it’s not 180C, it’s 176 C rounded up to 180.
180 grados centigrados °C
She also said miark reaction.. webster says no
I swear I was just thinking about this and said someone should make a video! Never thought Vox would be it...
Maillard Reaction... wow, I learned something new.
the video shows the Celsius conversion in the first five seconds, plus Vox is an American company. so everyone complaining about Fahrenheit, you just look like idiots lol
but does being an american company justify using a outdated and idiotic system? it would be much easier if america just catched up with the developed world
Pretty sure you do Edwin. They don't show conversions for the rest of the video, and Vox is not only for American audiences (certainly much less than some other channels). Also, I think some people still face the shock that America is using a system completely different to everyone else (a system that Sahib correctly pointed at as outdated). Without being on the internet for a long amount of time, I would have never known that.
Being an American company justifies using the American system, that's all that matters Achmed
Sahib Abdul, just learn both, I do. It shouldn't be hard for all of you people because you're obviously so much smarter than US.
Sahib Abdul Being American justifies everything, amnesia boy
HOW DID YOU MAKE YOUR OVEN SAY VOX OMG YOU HACKER
It's Photoshop...
Acrylamide can be generated from food components during heat treatment as a result of the Maillard reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars.
I love my new air fryer. It's actually a convection oven for small batches. Just cut the cooking time by half. No oil needed makes foods so much healthier than deep frying. Just use a dip for the food since it will be drier.
Can everyone shut up about the Fahrenheit. Box already showed 180c. By the way, everyone in Canada cooks in Fahrenheit anyway. Everyone knows what 350F and 425F means in cooking. It's just like how everyone weighs themselves in pounds and measures their height in foot inches.
Vox produces a lot of junior high school reports.
No mention that our recipes change to respond to available technology. (Consider pizza recipes for wood-fired vs electric ovens.) You can bake cookies at a lower temperature by adding more moisture to the dough, just as you do for a pizza in a residential oven.
I'll remember this when I fire up the wood-burning oven in my kitchen. It's right next to the indoor 6-foot BBQ pit that came with the house.
ncooty I don't get the first part of this comment. The point of Vox isn't to create PhD level dissertations, it's to create a concise and digestible piece of engaging content that educates viewers. I was already well informed on this topic, but the format was interesting and I learned something and I'll bet you did too so there's no need for any shade to be thrown like that.
But he's right. Who doesn't know about the Maillard reaction? I don't mean the specifics, it's just that most people know that putting food which has a good amount of protein and sugar under high heat will give a browned, crispy dish. And that it's called Maillard reaction. A lot of recipes even educate you about that. And vox does a lot of videos on topics you should already know about.
Edit: But they also have very interesting videos, of course. So maybe it's a good mix for everyone.
I can see from the replies that many viewers feel enlightened by reporting that's barely of the quality and level of analysis we should expect in middle schools. I guess Vox has pegged its viewership correctly... or is sadly accurate about the level of education in the U.S.
it is unfortunate, but perhaps we should applaud a step in the right direction rather than humiliate a late start since that is pretty unhelpful at this point. i never really understood the criticism from people who know something, when that information was clearly intended for those who don't know.
That cookie looked so much delicious before I learnt about the negative effects of the Millard reaction that also occurs in our bodies and forms advanced glyko end products.
I've wondered this for so long I'm so glad I have a answer😂😂😂
What about Celsius?
0:04
Just my opinion but this video is on quite a boring topic
Nathan Crew it's only 3 minutes long
This was my classroom!! ICE taught me how to be the amazing chef that I am
Chris and Marisa Voli wood movie
Volley wood movie
I prefer 325F intead of 350F b/c the cookie will be soft and slightly undone in the middle. I did an experiment for this last year for one of my baking and pastry art classes and I found that 375° out of 325F & 350F was the winning degree to bake cookies at according to my chef instructors I personally don't like a golden brown cookie I like it looking like a flattened piece of cookie dough very soft and slightly chewy
Leave your favorite cookie recipe in the comments! We're researching them for .... science.

Vox Thanks Vox
Peanut butter cookies D:
You will never take my recipes!
chocolate chip cookies :)
I made a video on our channel for my Great Grammy Thompson’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake. It’s my oldest family recipe and it’s absolutely delicious. Happy researching!
Stop using F° its overrated :]
devin Ъrown I don't think you know what overrated means
Yeah, but it's what they use in America, which is where most of English content comes from.
Is it just me or these guys have some insane editing qualities?
Now I want a cookie. Thanks a lot.
1) If you cant read, the conversion is at 0:04
2) This is an American channel, made by American people, intended for American audiences in the states......so either get with it or get over it. Y’all love complaining for attention.
Ayanna J
Y’all = all of you.
Dumb as a Trump.
Ayanna J There have been other temperatures throughout the video which have not been converted.
Stop saying that they wish to limit themselves to America since they don't.
bogboy, it's an abbreviated version of "you all" it makes sense, but for some reason it only gets associated with the southern US.
bogboy Okay? So you must be dumb as a Trump as well because even if you read it the way you just translated it, it still makes perfect sense. “All of you love complaining for attention.” Try again 🤷🏽♀️😘
Jay Kay I didn’t say that, honey. Never did I say that they converted it throughout the video, I specifically cited 0:04. From the comments I read, that’s why people were complaining. If you care so much about how much a temperature is in metric measurements, you could’ve typed it into Google and it would have converted it for you in less than a second. Shorter than it took for you to reply to me. You guys are just proving my point that you complain too much lol
*NOT FIRST*
Ah, now i need to test this out for myself
Great video Vox as always!
no.
just no.
Yes my friend, yes!
Fahrenheit lmao
It's an American channel lmao
