THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Cylindrical pan volume ratio. Baking time and structural behaviour are not inferred.
Start with your inputs
Enter original round-pan diameter (cm), original fill depth (cm), new diameter (cm), new fill depth (cm). Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Original round-pan diameter (cm) | 20 |
| Original fill depth (cm) | 5 |
| New diameter (cm) | 25 |
| New fill depth (cm) | 5 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, recipe multiplier is 1.5625. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
Putting the example numbers into the formula
Recipe multiplier
(25) × (25) × (5) ÷ ((20) × (20) × (5)) = 1.5625
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Recipe multiplier | 1.5625 |
How this is calculated
Recipe multiplier
c × c × d ÷ (a × a × b)
Symbols and units
- a
- Original round-pan diameter (cm)
- b
- Original fill depth (cm)
- c
- New diameter (cm)
- d
- New fill depth (cm)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions and limits
Cylindrical pan volume ratio. Baking time and structural behaviour are not inferred.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Recipe multiplier. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Cylindrical pan volume ratio. Baking time and structural behaviour are not inferred.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
Calculations on this page happen in your browser. The separate AI question finder sends its submitted conversation to OpenAI; these calculator fields are not sent. Favourites and recent tool names are stored locally. A shared link contains the inputs you choose to include.
