PIE PAN SIZES RECIPES

Steps:

• Measure Dimensions: To determine the pan's dimensions always measure inside edge to inside edge of the pan so that you do not include the thickness of the pan in your measurement.
• Measure Depth: To measure the depth, place your ruler straight up from the bottom of the pan (do not slant the ruler). If the pan edge is slanted, do not slant the ruler, measure straight up.
• Pan Volume: To determine the pan's volume (how much batter it will hold), pour pre-measured water by the cupful until the pan is filled to the brim. Use a liquid measuring cup to pour water into the pan until it reaches the top.
• If the new pan makes the batter shallower than in the original recipe, this will cause the heat to reach the center of the pan more quickly and you will have more evaporation. To solve this problem you need to shorten the baking time and raise the temperature of the oven slightly. To substitute a pan that is shallower than the pan in the recipe, reduce the baking time by 1/4.
• If the new pan makes the batter deeper than in the original recipe, this will cause less evaporation and the batter will take longer to cook. To solve this problem you need to lengthen the baking time and lower the temperature of the oven slightly. To substitute a pan that is deeper than the pan in the recipe, increase the baking time by 1/4.
• The following table will help determine substitutions of pans and dishes of similar approximate size if you do not have the specific sized baking pan, dish, or mold called for in a recipe. To substitute with glass pans, reduce the baking temperature by 25 degrees. ____________________________________________________ 3-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 8" x 1-1/4 round pan ____________________________________________________ 4-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 8" x 1-1/2" round layer cake pan 8" x 4" x 2-1/2" loaf pan 9" x 1-1/2" round pie pan 11" x 1" round tart pan ____________________________________________________ 6-cup Baking dish or Pan: 1 (8") round cake pan 7-1/2" x 3" bundt tube pan 8" x 8" x 2" square pan 8 1/2" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" loaf pan 9" x 1-1/2" round layer cake pan 9" x 2" round pie plate (deep dish) 9" x 9" x 1-1/2" rectangular pan 10" x 1-1/2" round pie plate 11" x 7" x 2" rectangular pan ____________________________________________________ 7-cup Baking dish or Pan: 8" x 2" round cake pan 9" x 9" x 2" rectangular pan ____________________________________________________ 8-cup Baking dish or Pan: 8" x 8" x 2" square pan 9" x 2" round cake pan 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan 9" x 9" x 1-1/2" square pan 9-1/4" x 2-3/4" ring mold 9-1/2" x 3-1/4" brioche pan 11" x 7" x 1-1/2" baking pan ____________________________________________________ 9-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 8" x 3" bundt pan 9" x 3" tube pan ____________________________________________________ 10-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 8" x 2-1/2" springform pan 9" x 9" x 2" square pan 11-3/4" x 7-1/2" x 1 3/4" baking pan 13" x 9" x 2" rectangular pan 15-1/2" x 10-1/2" x 1" jelly-roll pan ____________________________________________________ 11-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 9" x 3" springform pan 10" x 2" round cake pan ____________________________________________________ 12-cup Baking Dish or Pan: 2 (9") round cake pans 9" x 3" angel-cake pan or tube pan 10" x 2-1/2" springform pan 10" x 3-1/2" bundt pan 13" x 9" x 2" metal baking pan 14" x 10-1/2" x 2-1/2" roasting pan ____________________________________________________ 15-cup Baking dish or Pan: 13" x 9" x 2" rectangular pan ____________________________________________________ 16-cup Baking dish or Pan: 9" x 3-1/2" springform pan 10" x 4" fancy tube mold ____________________________________________________ 18-cup Baking dish or Pan: 10" x 4" angel-cake or tube pan

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place sugar in a medium skillet over medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly with a heat-proof spatula, until sugar begins to melt, adjusting heat to low if sugar begins to brown too quickly. Once sugar is completely liquefied and begins to turn a deep caramel color, about 12 minutes, carefully and quickly pour the syrup into a 9-inch metal pie pan. Using a potholder, turn pie pan to allow sugar to coat sides and bottom. (Be careful: The sugar syrup will be very hot, but will cool and set up quickly.) Set coated pie pan aside.
• Combine sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and eggs in a blender, and process until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour mixture into prepared pie pan. Place pie pan in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish, and, working from the side, carefully fill baking dish with water until water reaches halfway up side of pie pan. Cover pie pan loosely with aluminum foil. Bake in preheated oven until flan is set and a toothpick inserted in center of flan comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes. 
• Remove pie pan from baking dish, and let flan cool in pie pan 1 hour. Cover flan loosely with foil, and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 6 hours or up to overnight. 
• To serve, run a paring knife around outside edge of flan to loosen. Place a serving plate over flan, and holding serving plate tightly to pie pan, invert. Carefully remove pie pan from flan, allowing syrup to coat top and pool around sides of the flan.
