European here! For me it's...

Celcius:

0 = Water freezes

100 = Water boils

Fahrenheit as far as I can tell:

~100 = Hot enough that it shows up on the news

~400-450 = Cooking, because our stove is in Fahrenheit for some unknown reason.

All other temperatures in F = no idea.

Wait euro ovens are in Fahrenheit as well? I just thought it was our identity crisis measurements in Canada.

Nah, mines in Celsius ... the poster above probably has an old British oven, they had a lot of hold-outs for imperial measurements.

Canadians usually follow this. It isn't 100% correct, but close enough.
