What about baking time?
If the batter depth is the same, baking time should be similar. If the new pan makes the batter deeper, increase time and lower temperature slightly.

How to Use
Step-by-step instructions
- 1Select the original pan shape and size.
- 2Select the target pan shape and size.
- 3The calculator will show the scaling factor.
- 4This assumes pans have similar depth.
Area Ratio
Calculates the surface area of both pans to determine the scaling factor for ingredients.
Ratio = Target Area / Original AreaVariables:
Round Areapi x r^2Square AreaSide^2Example
9" Round to 8" Square
Inputs:
Original:9" Round
Target:8" Square
Steps:
- 1.Area 1 (9" Round) = pi x 4.5^2 = 63.6 sq in
- 2.Area 2 (8" Square) = 8 x 8 = 64 sq in
- 3.Ratio = 64 / 63.6 = 1.01
- 4.Result: almost identical, no change needed.
Result:
Ratio 1.01 (No change)
