375F

375F, or 375 degrees Fahrenheit, is a temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. It is equivalent to about 190.6°C and 463.8 K. In cooking, 375F is a common bake or roast setting in American kitchens, used for items like cookies, cakes, breads, casseroles, and roasted vegetables and meats. It sits between 350F and 400F and provides browning without excessive moisture loss, making it a versatile mid-to-high oven temperature.

Practical considerations: oven performance varies, and many home ovens are not perfectly calibrated. An oven thermometer can verify that the oven reaches and holds 375F. Preheating is typically recommended, and cooking times should be guided by doneness or internal temperature rather than time alone. The choice of pan material can affect heating: metal or dark-coated pans brown more quickly than light-colored or glassware, which may require reducing temperature or extending time.

In scholarly or technical usage, 375F is simply a numeric value on the Fahrenheit scale and does not represent a standard or regulation beyond its use in recipes. It is part of a broader set of common baking temperatures (e.g., 325F, 350F, 375F, 400F) that help cooks control browning and texture.
