    TIP: the easiest way to approximate how much volume a pan holds is to fill the pan with water and measure the amount of the water. Remember though, when baking cakes, one usually fills the pan at least half full with batter allowing the batter room to rise and bake evenly!! As for baking time factors refer to my Cake Primer to judge when a cake is finished baking. Usually round single layer or square cake pans take 20 to 30 minutes to finish baking. Oblongpans about, 45 to 60 minutes and tube and angel cake pan 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes depending on the recipe and temperature factors.

    Remember these are only approximate guides! Mini pans, take the least time to bake of all .
    So let your eyes, ( look ) nose ( smell ) and hands
    ( feel ) guide you. After a while you can easily judge when your baked goods are done.




    Use the guide below to help figure the metric pan size conversion you need

    1 inch= 2.54 cm

    3 inches = 5 cm

    5 inches = 13 cm

    6 inches = 16 cm

    7 inches = 18 cm

    8 inches = 20 cm

    9 inches = 23 cm

    10 inches = 25 cm

    11 inches = 28 cm

    12 inches = 30 cm

    16 inches = 40 cm

    ..........................................................
    Large/professional size Baking pans

    There are a large variety of professional size baking pans available. Consult professional bakeware outlets/catalogs for specific products. For example:
    round layer cake pans sizes vary greatly in size and some can be up to 20 inches in diameter. Loaf bread pans are available in 11, 12 and 14 inch long loaf
    sizes etc.

    ..........................................................
    The most common pans you may come across in institutional kitchens:
    Steam or sheet pans : 12/14 x 20 x 21/2 inches
    Most common size sheet pans 18 x 26 x 1/ 2/ 3 inch )


    To cut consistent portion sizes for brownies, cakes etc. from the 18 x 26 inch pan do this:

    25 portions: score the long side into 5 equal pieces and the short side into 5 equal pieces and then cut through to get 25 pieces

    48 portions : score and cut into 6 x 8 sections

    50 portions: score and cut into 5 x 10 sections

    60 portions: score and cut into 6 x 10 sections

    100 portions: score and cut into 10 x 10 sections


    An easy way to get more pieces from a round cake is to: Cut a circular ring around the center of the cake, leave intact. Then cut slices all around the outside area of the ring and then in the inside area of the ring.
