When baking more than one casserole at the same time, does it take longer?

Question

I’m baking 4 lasagna pans at the same time. Will it take longer to bake than the 30 min.?

Answer 1

Yes. Read the directions on the box JUST for this situation. Good luck. If your ingredients are not from a box,the receipe hopefully gives instructions. If not, I would bake both casseroles the time it takes to bake one and then check on it frequently.

Answer 2

Yes. Part-way through cooking, rotate the top pans to the bottom rack and vice-versa. Keep an eye on it after the 30 minutes are up and wait for the cheese to get bubbly. Use a meat thermometer if you have one. If it's not at temp and the cheese is looking browned, cover with foil.

(I envy an oven that could hold 4 pans of lasagna!) :)

Answer 3

If you're in a regular size oven, you'd probably be better off to bake two of them at one time, then try two more when the first two are finished.

It will definitely take longer than thirty minutes with four in the oven, as the convection cannot work as well around 4 pans as it can around one. If thirty minutes is for one pan, it will probably take 35-40 or so for two pans. I would NOT recommend you change the heat setting at all, though, as this might cause burning.

Good luck!!

Answer 4

With that many you should allow extra time. I would say an extra 30 (10 for each additinal lasagna), butcheck it every 10 just to be safe.

Answer 5

no , providing there are all the same weight ,if you put all 4 in together it will take 30Min's for the 4 because there have gone in the oven at the same time.
but if you put them in separately then it will take 2 hours

Answer 6

Make sure that you preheat the oven. As long as the oven is at the right temp. and you cook it for as long as you are meant to cook one lasagna, it will take the same amount of time.

Happy cooking!
