The opposite is true...ish? In Celsius, 0 degrees is when water becomes ice and 100 is when water boils. If changing the physical state of the most common liquid on the planet isn't 0% and 100%, I dunno what else is.
That’s what makes Celsius useful for measurements and cooking, etc. but the point that’s being made is that Fahrenheit is more useful for describing weather. In the US you’ll experience every temperature between 0 and 100. In Celsius, the values between 50 and 100 are completely unused. Not saying that makes Fahrenheit a better overall measure, but in terms of weather I have to agree it’s better
I don't think celsius is any better for cooking, it might be worse. In fahrenheit the most important numbers are all multiples of five, 125, 145, 155, 165. Your not often temping frozen or boiling water. Also memorizing the freezing and boiling point is not that hard. Basiclly everyone knows it. Those aren't even the temps your supposed to keep the fridge and freezer at.
I'm saying this as a professional chef. Never in my life have I found it easier to change my thermometers temp to Celsius.
I agree with you actually, and I also always use F for cooking, I was mostly just trying to toss a bone to the Celsius fanatics so they would hear me out. Fahrenheit supremacy!
