Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Can you even buy appliances like ovens that display °C instead of °F in Canada? Recipes are still all pretty locked into sharing imperial units with the US.

I tried 3 years ago. Wasn’t possible. It’s F only.

Edit. I was wrong. Turns out I CAN switch my oven to C. I didn’t poke the settings enough.

I’ve never used an oven that didn’t have a setting to switch between them.

I’m in the US. I work in metric if I’m at home and doing my own project but I need to speak imperial if I go to the hardware store, lumber yard, or talk to literally any other person around me.
