Seriously though, thanks. I can eyeball square and rectangular pans pretty easily, but sometimes I want to use my round ones. For one thing they make a nicer presentation -- you know, for those fancy casserole occasions. |

Well, you can play with this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... sp=sharing Note that it is shared, if two people use it at the same time, pandemonium!! There is a drop-down for you pan shape. Square is Rectangular  You can also export the sheet as excel, etc. for your private use. The strip-y cells can't be changed.

Thanks Paul, I added columns for my most used pans and both up and down and saved it. So thanks again to both you and Becky. |

Note that the spreadsheet is shared, so someone could undo or alter your changes. You might want to save it as a copy or export it if you want it to live long-term. |

What would be the formula for converting my 9"x13" to this...?

Thanks Paul, I did save it. I left my additions in case other folks might find it useful, but I have what I need. Copied the formulas as well, just in case. Thanks again. |

Take the scaling factors (which are actually areas) and multiple by the desired height of the product. Do this in centimeters is best; what you have at the end is millliters (one cubic cm is one mL). Now put your castle on a scale and tare it out. Fill with water, and measure in kg; this is how many liters your castle holds. Multiple by 1000 to get mL. You can now easily convert your flat pan scaling to scale your castle. PK (*) technically you should be doing a volume any, since pans have sloping sides and it does affect the calculation, but for flat-land it is a fine approximation) (**) Yes, I think about these things EDIT: Dammit, frank beat me to it. I was reducing the procedure too much! |
