How round pan scaling works

Compare round baking-pan areas to scale batter quantities.

Formula and convention

Scale factor = (new diameter / original diameter)², assuming equal pan depth.

A worked example

A 20 cm to 24 cm round pan change gives factor 1.44.

Scope and precision

Area does not determine baking time. Depth, material, batter type, temperature, and safe fill level need separate consideration.
