My oven can get up to (and past) this temp. Unfortunately the door locks so I can’t get a preview of Satan’s home (it only does it for pyrolytic cleaning).
Well, if you put it in for 1s at 450, will it come out black? Course not, it takes a little time. So there’s a time that’ll cook the surface perfectly. Turns out that, since pizza is very thin, a couple of minutes at 450 is perfect.
Both are arbitrary scales. People tend to prefer the one they grew up with. Yes, water boiling at 100°C is neat. No, that doesn’t mean people who use Fahrenheit are wrong. Unless they’re doing science, cause SI units are important (Zenon did nothing wrong)
Also, the meme is supposed to be both. Using the American (400°F preheat is normal) assumption of relevance (yes, it’s a real thing) but then pulling the switcheroo and using an image corresponding to Celsius.
450 °F = 232.222 °C
450 °C = 842 °F
450 °K = 176.85 °C = 350.33 °F

People hack ovens to let them use this mode to cook pizzas
My oven has a pizza mode 😆. Surely at 450 Celsius the pizza is just gonna come out black… I think pizza mode is more like 260 heated from underneath.

I never considered that a short sharp cook would be better than longer at a lower heat. I already only cook the pizzas 3-5 mins.
Hmm, maybe I will need to learn how to hack my oven.
It’s like cooking a steak :) you want to brown the surface but not dry out the inside
I feel like I have quite some learning to go on cooking the perfect pizza!
JUST shy of book-burning temperature (according to my learnings from reading Ray Bradbury).
Um, Fahrenheit 451?
Thanks, fellow metric user! Freedom units shouldn’t have a place in this world

Both are arbitrary but only one is an international standard
Metric is good for precision, but imperial is good for quick head math. Like, I do carpentry in imperial, and 3D modeling in metric.
As far as temperature goes, Celsius is better in every range but weather. 0 to 100F goes from cold as fuck to hot as fuck.
Both are good for quick head math. The only difference you are experiencing is your own familiarity with one over the other.
