Recipe calls for a "9 inch baking pan"?

Does "9 inch baking pan" mean a round pan 9 inches in diameter? I don't have one. I do have a 9"x13"x2.5" rectangular pan. Will that work?

    Hi,

    Yes, it will work. But since a 9"x13" pan is bigger than a 9 inch round or square pan would be, you should reduce your cooking time by a few minutes, depending on what you're baking. Also, your finished product will be slightly thinner than it was supposed to be.

    I substitute 9x13" pans all the time for the standard 9" or 8" rounds. I usually bake cakes and they are just thinner, but no biggie. Just make sure you don't OVERcook, or your cake can get dry.

    So, start checking your cake (or whatever it is) about five minutes before the recommended cooking time. It is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Hope it's yummy!

    Source(s): I bake about 3-4 times per week.

    9 Inch Square Baking Pan

    9 inch means 9 inches around. A rectangular pan like that will be bigger, so your cake will be thinner (if that is what you are making). It might come out more like a cookie than a cake. It will also cook much faster.

    The area of your pan is almost twice the area of the recommended pan (117 square inches versus 62 square inches). You could double the recipe. Or borrow a pan from a friendly neighbor!

    it means a 9 inch x 9 inch square pan.

    you could possibly use the 9 x 13, but it will be much thinner than the recipe called for and most likely will cook quicker

    You would need to adjust the time and temperature so it was cooked all the way through and didn't burn on the edges. For example, if you used a 9x9 pan, the lasagna would be thicker, so you would want to lower the heat a little, but cook the lasagna a little longer.

    Yes just check what ever it is your cooking a couple times. if its a cake stick a tooth pick ot a butter knife down in the center if it comes out clean then its done.
