Dr. Pinckney wrote about oven temperatures, included below. I know that the
following is not a very clean method, but for normal oven temperatures for cooking
it has worked for me. I accept I am a little off, but it works.
Take the Fahrenheit temperature and divide by two, that gives you Centigrade.
take care
