Pan Size Converter

Find the closest equivalent pan for your recipe by comparing area.

PanArea (sq in)Approx. Volume
Baking time note: a similar area doesn't guarantee an identical bake. A deeper substitute pan generally needs a longer bake at a slightly lower temperature; a shallower one bakes faster. Start checking for doneness a few minutes earlier than the original recipe suggests.

Common questions

What size round pan equals a 9x13 pan?

A 9x13 rectangular pan (117 sq in) is closest to two 9-inch round pans combined, or roughly one 11-inch round pan on its own.

Does pan substitution affect baking time?

Yes — even with similar area, pan depth affects bake time. Check for doneness earlier than the original recipe suggests when substituting.
