Baking Pan Conversion

I was working on a recipe this morning and I wasn't quite sure what size pan I would bake it in. I did some research and decided to consolidate this information on measurements to convert Cups to Pan Sizes. I think it's great information. You can figure out the size of the pan based on the amount of Cups you have. This may be very common knowledge but I've never had it in one place where I can use it as a reference. I did an entire post on the Iconic 9" X 13" Casserole dish in America. The pan was probably created when America started producing Boxed Cake Mixes. In the end, I discovered that my recipe would fit in 1 - 9" X 13" X 2" Casserole Pan or (2) 9" Pie Pans.

Volume vs. Pan Size:

3 C = 8" X 1 1/4" Round Cake Pan

4 C = 8 1/2" X 1 1/2" Round Cake Pan
          8" X 4" X 2 1/2" Round Pie Pan
          9" X 1 1/2" Round Pie Pan
          11" X 1" Round Tart Pan

6 C = 8" Round Cake Pan
          7 1/2" X 3" Bundt Tube Pan
          8"X 8" X 2" Square Pan
          8 1/2" X 4 1/2" X 2" Loaf Pan
          9" X 1 1/2" Round Cake Pan
          9" X 2" Round Deep Dish Pie Pan
          9" X 9" X 1/2" Square Pan
          10" X 1 1/2" Round Pie Pan
          11" X 7" X 2" Rectangular Pan

7 C = 8" X 2" Round Cake Pan
          9" X 9" Square Pan

8 C = 8" X 8" Square Pan
          9" X 2" Round Cake Pan
          9" X 5" X 3" Loaf Pan
          9" X 9" X 1 1/2" Square Pan
          9 1/4" X 3 1/4" Brioche Pan
          11" X 7" X 1 1/2" Casserole Pan

9 C = 8" X 3" Bundt Pan
          9" X 3" Tube Pan

10 C = 8" X 2 1/2" Springform Pan
            9" X 9" X 2" Square Pan
            11 3/4" X 7 1/2" X 1 3/4" Casserole Pan
            9" X 13" X 2" Casserole Pan
            15" X 10 1/2" X 1" Jellyroll Pan
            10" X 2" Round Cake Pan

11 C = 9" X 3" Springform Pan
            10" X 2" Round Cake Pan

12C =  (2) - 9" Round Cake Pans
            9" X 3" Angel Food or Tube Pan
            10" X 2 1/2" Springform Pan
            10" X 3 1/2" Bundt Pan
            9" X 13" X 2" Metal Baking Pan
            14" X 10 1/2" X 2 1/2" Roasting Pan

15 C = 9" X 13" X 2" Casserole Pan

16 C = 9" X 3 1/2" Springform Pan
            10 " X 4" Tube Pan

18 C = 10" X 4" Angel Food or Tube Pan

9" X 13" X 2" = (2) 8" Round Pie Pans


Here's another bit of information that I think is helpful when considering what size Baking Pan can be subsituted for a 2 Quart Casserole.

2 quarts

Casserole Substitutions

CASSEROLE SIZE	BAKING-PAN SUBSTITUTE
2 quarts	8-inch square cake pan
2–½ quarts	9-inch square cake pan
3 quarts	13x9x2-inch cake pan
4 quarts	14x10x2-inch cake pan

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
