is a 9 x 13 baking pan equivalent to two 8" circle pans?

Question

if not, what is it equivalent to?

Answer 1

The volmue is close enough, yes it will work

Answer 2

Is this a math question? Well, either way, it can be.

a 9 inch by 13 inch baking pan is 117 squre inches. (Length x Width = Area, 9 x 13 = 117)

An 8" circle pan is approximately 50.24 square inches, so two would be approximately 100.5 square inches.
(Area = pi * r^2, Area = pi * (.5*8)^2, Area = 50.24)

So... the answer is no. (Assuming the pans are the same depth)

What would be equivalent? Probably nothing that is an industry standard size.

But using two 4.5 x 6.5 baking pans would be equivalent.

Answer 3

Simply fill the 9x13 with water then pour it between the two 8 inchers... DO they hold the same amount ??

They are close enough for me... I even substitute 9 inch round pans, depending upon what I grab from my cupboard first.

Experiment to get what works for YOU !!

Happy Baking!
