CONVERTERS AND CONVERSION CHARTS

Food ~ Baking Tins

New recipe, but wrong baking tin size? You can substitute the one in a recipe for one you own with guidance from our chart below.

Sometimes having the wrong pan size can be a good thing. My mum always seemed to have some batter left over after filling the cake tin. So she made a couple of cupcakes for me. I always had fun covering with hundreds and thousands after they cooled off. Hmm... do you think she did that on purpose? Funny the older I get, the smarter I realize she was.
