Don’t Have the Right Baking Pan? Try Our Free Pan Swaps Calculator

Ever start baking and discover your recipe calls for a pan you don’t have? Maybe you need an 8-inch square pan, but all you have is a 9-inch round.

Before changing your recipe or buying another pan, try our FREE Pan Swaps Calculator!

What Does the Pan Swaps Calculator Do?

Our free interactive tool helps you compare different baking pan sizes so you can make a more informed substitution.

You can:

• Compare round, square, rectangular, and loaf pans.
• See the difference in pan bottom area.
• Estimate how much to adjust your recipe quantity.
• Check approximately how full your substitute pan may be.
• Get a warning if your chosen pan might be too small for the batter.

Here’s an Example

An 8 × 8-inch square pan has 64 square inches of bottom area. A 9-inch round pan has approximately 63.6 square inches.

That’s a difference of less than 1%!

If both pans have similar depths, they’re often reasonable substitutes for the same amount of batter.

But remember, pan material, depth, recipe ingredients, and baking time can all affect your results.

Shopping for a New Baking Pan?

Sometimes the pan you already own is a great substitute. Other times, adding a different size to your bakeware collection makes sense.

Look for bakeware that fits your favorite recipes, is easy to handle, and has the size and depth you actually need.
