Right. A 5°C DIFFERENCE = a 9°F DIFFERENCE

I don't want someone thinking that the Oprah-fish can raise him/herself to cookin' temperature, is all. The amount of difference is significant, but relatively slight.

Thank you for educating us out here.

I want a fish that cleans itself, batters itself and fries itself then washes the dishes when I'm done!..................

Maybe the easiest way to explain it is that the difference between the freezing and boiling temperatures of water in Fahrenheit is 180 degrees F (212° - 32°). The Celsius scale is based on that difference and it’s 100°C (0° freezing and 100° boiling). So the proportional difference is 100 vs. 180, or 5/9. That doesn’t really help much doing a conversion, but it at least explains why the separation between degrees of temperature in Celsius is larger. Frankly, it’s enough to know that 22C is perfect, anything over 28 is warm to uncomfortably hot, and if there’s a minus in there don’t freak out unless it’s in double digits.
