Baking Pan SizesPrinter Friendly Page

Pan Dimensions and Volumes

Baking pans come in a wide range of sizes, from a round cake pan to a loaf pan. Different size pans

hold different capacities (volumes) of batters and this must be taken into account when substituting onepan size for another in a recipe. If you use a larger pan than asked for in a recipe this will change the

depth of the batter (shallower) and therefore the batter will bake much more quickly. Likewise, if you

use a smaller pan than asked for in a recipe this will also change the depth of the batter (deeper) and

therefore the batter will take longer to bake.

To determine the pan's dimensions always

measure inside edge to inside edge of the pan

so that you do not include the thickness of the pan

in your measurement.

To measure the depth, place your ruler straight

up from the bottom of the pan (do not slant the

ruler).

To determine the pan's volume (how much batter

it will hold), pour pre-measured water by thecupful until the pan is filled to the brim.

Once you have measured the pan's dimensions

and volume you can check the table below for pan

substitutions. The ideal pan substitution is one

that keeps the same batter depth as in the original recipe. In this way you do not have to make anydrastic changes in baking times and temperatures. For example; you could substitute a 8 x 8 x 1 1/2

inch square pan (6 cups) for a 8 x 2 inch round pan (6 cups) without changing the baking time or oven

temperature stated in the original recipe.

If the new pan makes the batter shallower than in the original recipe, this will cause the heat to reach

the center of the pan more quickly and you will have more evaporat ion. To solve this problem you need

to shorten the baking time and raise the temperature of the oven slightly. Correspondingly, if the new

pan makes the batter deeper than in the original recipe, this will cause less evaporation and the batter

will take longer to cook. To solve this problem you need to lengthen the baking time and lower the

temperature of the oven slightly. This will keep the batter from over-browning.

Note: Keep in mind that most home ovens will only accommodate up to a 17 x 14 inch (43 x 36 cm)

pan.
