250 °F to °C
In the kitchen, 250 °F is hot-and-fast smoking, and the usual reverse-sear oven temperature.
The formula
(°F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
(250 − 32) × 5/9 = 121.1 °C

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 250 °F in °C?
250 °F equals 121.1 °C. In cooking terms it is hot-and-fast smoking, and the usual reverse-sear oven temperature.
What is the formula?
Subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9. So (250 − 32) × 5/9 = 121.1 °C.
Do I need to be exact?
For pit temperatures, no — a smoker swinging 15 °F either side of target is normal and fine. For internal temperatures, yes: the difference between medium rare and medium is about 10 °F, which is well inside the range where rounding matters.
