I was thinking it would be nice to include a regular feature of baking tips in my blog. You know, things that make the baking process go a little more smoothly.
Today’s baking tip is a link to the Joy of Baking’s Pan Sizes Chart. I’ve printed out this chart and it’s hanging on my refrigerator.
I’ve found this to be especially helpful when a recipe calls for a pan by cup size. I usually don’t know how many cups any particular pan has. But this chart lists pans by cup size and correlates that to the pan’s dimensions, in inches and in centimeters. It’s a great tool!

Hi there, my ingredients are on their way (ordered from Amazon), and I have a question about the bread pan. I have a blue colored glass baking dish the right size for a small loaf of bread. Do I need to go purchase a metal one? I have looked around on your site and don’t see any reference to weather glass baking dishes are acceptable or not. If you think I should purchase a metal pan, please tell me which kind (that I can get on Amazon preferably) you recommend.
Heather: I don’t know how blue glass pan will behave in baking–I haven’t used one before. Clear glass is good, though. But it doesn’t hurt to try and see how it goes before you buy a new pan. Also, is it the right size for the breads? 9″x5″ is a standard pan size. Let me know how it does in the blue glass pan!
