How do you change the size of a baking pan?

Example. For example, if a recipe calls for baking in an 8×8 pan (64 square inch bottom) but you have a 9×5 loaf pan (45 square inches), the batter is going to be almost 1-1/2 times as deep. (To figure this, divide the original pan size in square inches by the new pan size = 64/45 = 1.4).

In this regard, how do I reduce the size of my baking pan?

Make your pan smaller by creating a foil dam. Tear a long sheet and trim it to fit widthwise in your pan. Then fold the short side to create a wall, until you have the correct size pan. Reinforce the wall by folding it two or three times.

One may also ask, how do you change cake pan sizes? Once you know the area of any pan, you can compare it to the area of another pan to see how much bigger or smaller it is. You can divide the area of a large pan by the area of a small pan to figure out how many times to multiply a recipe to fill the larger pan with the same depth of batter (more on that later).

Also question is, how does pan size affect baking time?

Just increase the oven temp by 25 degrees F and decrease the bake time by a quarter. In this particular example, since your pan is 1 inch larger, more surface area will be exposed. The liquid in the cake batter will evaporate quicker, which means it will bake faster.

Do two 8x8 pans equal a 9x13?

Assuming your batter is an inch thick, 9x13 pan is 117 cubic inches and two 8x8 pans equal 128 cubic inches. So your batter will be about 1/10 inch lower in the baking dish with the two 8x8's then it would have been with the 9x13. That's not precise but it's close enough for these purposes.

What to do if baking pan is too big?

Tip: Resizing Baking Pans Downsize a larger one by simply molding a piece of heavy duty foil and fitting it in the pan to adjust for the desired dimensions as shown. You could also add a second piece of foil perpendicular to the one in place to adjust the width of the pan as well as the length.

Can you double a 9x9 recipe?

Usually An 8 x 8 square pan is 64 square inches, and I've often doubled recipes by using a 9 x 13, which is 117 square inches. Usually the baking time is only marginally longer.
