Cake Pan Conversion Calculator
Picture yourself in the kitchen, setting all the items out for a recipe you've been longing to try. The sugar has been measured and the butter has been melted. But then the next step calls for a pan size you don't have. You search the cabinets and there's no substitute.
Should you run to a store to buy a new pan? Should you give up on the recipe? This is one of the most common problems!
Never panic again. The handy cake pan converter is here to solve all of your problems. With the Cake Pan Converter, you can convert round pans to rectangular pans and rectangular pans to square. And then, if you want, you can convert back.
That's not all! You can even calculate the correct quantities of ingredients for the pans sitting on your shelf at home.
How to use the converter
- Select the checkbox and enter the cake pan height.
- Choose the shape of the pan you are converting from and the shape of the pan you are converting to (round, square/rectangle).
- Enter the size of the baking pan your recipe calls for and the desired pan dimensions.
- Click Calculate the conversion factor auto-calculates ingredient quantities for you.
- To scale the recipe, multiply the quantity of ingredients from the original recipe using this conversion factor.
- To approximate the recipe so you have something easier to work with, round the quantities of ingredients up or down.
- Be sure to convert the measurements to inches or centimeters for consistency. If you mix them, the conversion factor won't work.
- Optional: Use the additional part of the calculator by copying and pasting the original recipe ingredients for a new recalculated recipe to use in the future.
