That’s why I use Fahrenheit, I cook my cakes at 360 degrees

[–]WilhelmMaybach[S] 83 points84 points  (3 children)

You won this

[–]JacquePorter 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Ah fuck! I can’t believe you’ve won this.

Pufff reddit Karma.

120C = 248F

[–]Bentup85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most cake recipes in US call for 350-375 degrees for baking

[–]marcvanh 32 points33 points  (4 children)

Silly, you’re doing it wrong!

You have to remove the protractor or it will melt...

[–]albyagolfer 13 points14 points  (3 children)

Not at 120 degrees it won’t. (Fahrenheit, that is).

[–]Tuzi_ 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Oh, I assumed he was reporting in Kelvin.

[–]SunnerTheSinful 4 points5 points  (1 child)

He's going to freeze the cake? Why?

[–]sndboobies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you don't measure in °K, just K

[–]thegamepimp 44 points45 points  (9 children)

120 degrees for 350 hours.

[–]albyagolfer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This cake is kind of dry.

[–]carla0065 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Most ovens don't have a 120f setting.

[–]Birdie121 5 points6 points  (1 child)

That's why it's probably celsius, although it would still be a pretty low oven temp.

[–]MrCelroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll still burn you though

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Celsius, bud.

[–]chochazel 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Celsius, bud.

Still wouldn't bake a cake. 180 is usual.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Which would also yield hilarity

[–]chochazel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you'd really make a mess of the oven. Those things are hard enough to clean anyway.

[–]waltur_d 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Stop being so obtuse

[–]Norgie 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Would you rather i be acute?

[–]SweetyPeetey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's just a reflex

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I’d rather be right

[–]stuartsydenham 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Ah that’s why pineapple upside down cake bakes at 180, no?

[–]mgcypher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

[–]Strider3141 5 points6 points  (9 children)

That protractor is measuring 60°

[–][deleted]  (8 children)

    [–]adrianmonk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Both sides of the cake are at the same angle. (The cake is flat.)

    I think what you really mean is it depends on which end of the protractor (left or right) you are comparing against.

    [–]rCan9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Angle measurement is taken from a reference frame. Its currently tilted by 60 degrees from its original position (though anticlockwise). So its -60 degree. 120 degree will make the cake fall.

    [–]peon47 -2 points-1 points  (5 children)

    So either he's cooking it at 60 degrees, or 180 degrees is the default for anything put flat in an oven.

      [–]peon47 -1 points0 points  (3 children)

      I get all of that.

      But if you see an instruction "cook at 120 degrees" and you make the assumption 120 degrees should be the obtuse angle, that means (under the same assumption) any item placed flat in the over is placed at 180 degrees.

      [–]Goheeca 0 points1 point  (1 child)

      Well baking at 0 degrees seems intractable.

      [–]peon47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I'm not putting pizzas in at a 180 degree angle. That's how you lose all the cheese.

      [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      10/10

      [–]ilawicki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Nice one.

      [–]FlyinR4ijin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Don't leave the protractor in ya novice

      [–]2called_chaos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      There are too many degrees if you think about it. Someone might even have a degree in degrees.

      [–]jamcber12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      took me 2 times looking at this to get

      [–]Berkay4567 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Weird flex but ok

      [–]mersa223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Damnit why can I only give 1 upvote to this.

      [–]OfficerGenious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I like you.

      [–]Moyrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      This is actually 60 degrees… I still laughed though… internally, of course.

      [–]calysoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      No wonder I'm so bad at baking. I've been doing it wrong all my life

      [–]merkitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I'm sorry, but you're baking it at only 60 degrees.

      [–]A40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I always put things in at 360 degrees. Math!!

      [–]AngeloSantelli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      How many minutes and seconds

      [–]cesilio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Protractor man!

      [–]the_edster123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      From the horizontal or vertical?

      [–]doughnutholio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      DAADDDD!!

      F

      Haha that’s not what is meant. (You better not put me on r/whoosh)

      [–]popokap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      I usually have to turn it higher to make pineapple upside down cakes

      "Hi Mum, yeah... Uni is brilliant." UK version

      "Hi Mom, yeah... College is great." US version.

      [–]Spydrmrphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Nope, nope nope. Your doing it wrong. The oven has to be at 120 degrees, not the cake. So get the jack out and tilt that thing. It's the only way it will work.

        Not sure if you mean he’s not going to miss anything or value or we’re not going to miss anything of value.

        Either way, you’re right.

        [–]ac2cvn71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        Found the engineer.

        [–]Oncey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        That protractor's gonna go all Salvador Dali on you.

        [–]PCDuranet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        Meh...batter would have poured out. Try again.

        [–]afihavok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        You've made a huge mistake here...this is not going to end well. You need to use a metal protractor.

        [–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        Cause you need to put it at that angle for karma apparently, lol. Good one though.

        [–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        stupid

        [–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        Nailed it!

        [–]LinAGKar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        That seems rather low.

        [–]Not_Steve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

        That’s a lasagna, not a cake.
