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.
Yep, the closest I can get with my own oven is 300 celsius with a pizza stone. At that point the heating elements are on pretty much constantly. It leads to a relatively good crust, but still isn’t as good as a proper pizza oven. I’ve seen some normal electric ovens that go up to 350 here, which could be enough to make up the difference.
The oven is also clearly not meant to be used like this on the daily. Parts of the oven exterior get to around 200 degress celsius when baking multiple pizzas.
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.
I literally said I was familiar with both.
I grew up with F, but now I’m all for C. It drives me crazy that the US (where I grew up) refuses to change.
I bake pizza at 400.
Celsius.
So do I, but Kelvin. Takes me a while.
Great temp for some pulled pork.
Sure, but that requires a pizza oven.

Legit how you get restaurant-style blackened crust. Make the crust thin and bake for 3 minutes
I’m aming for Neapolitan style pizza, my electric pizza oven is OK, but sometimes I still wish I had a garden for a real wood-fired oven.
