How To Measure Pan Sizes:
Measure Dimensions:
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.
Measure Depth: To measure the depth, place your ruler straight up from the bottom of
the pan (do not slant the ruler). If the pan edge is slanted, do not slant the ruler, measure straight up.
Pan Volume: To
determine the pan's volume (how much batter it will hold), pour
pre-measured water by the cupful until the pan is filled to the
brim. Use a liquid measuring cup to pour water into the pan until it
reaches the top.
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 evaporation. To solve this problem you need
to shorten the baking time and raise the temperature of the oven
slightly. To substitute a pan that is shallower than the pan in the recipe,
reduce the baking time by 1/4.
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.
To substitute a pan that is deeper than the pan in the recipe,
increase the baking time by 1/4.
How To Substitute Pans:
The following table will help determine substitutions of pans and dishes of similar approximate size if you do not
have the specific sized baking pan, dish, or mold called for in a recipe.
To substitute with glass pans, reduce the baking temperature
by 25 degrees.
