- Temperature equivalents are not exact - only a guide. Consult your
oven's manual for its particular settings.
- Settings for convection ovens should be about 50°F (c. 25°C) less than the
above.
- Remember to use an oven thermometer to check the actual temperature of
your oven, as they do occasionally need to be re-calibrated.

How to figure out the capacity
of a round (cylindrical)
container |
|
Learn ahead of cooking or baking...
...How much batter to put in a cake pan, or
...How much liquid a non-marked sauce pan will hold, for example.
The formula is intended for straight-sided pans, however you can also get a
good approximation of capacity
First take these measurements:
For the Radius: Measure across the inside of the pan, and divide by
two.
(Multiply this figure by itself to get the Radius
Squared for the formula.)
For the Height: Measure from the inside bottom up to the fill line.
(Measure up to the lip of the pan if you're filling it
to the brim.)
3-part formula:
(1) Pi x r² x h = volume (in cubic
inches)
(2) volume / 231 = percentage of gallon
(3) percentage of gallon x 128 = capacity (in
ounces)
Pi = 3.1415927
231 = Cubic Inches in a Gallon of Liquid
128 = Ounces in a gallon
r = Radius = one half the Diameter
r² = Radius Squared = Radius x Radius
h = Height
x = times
/ = divided by
Therefore, using your calculator:
(1) 3.1415927 times Radius Squared times Height
= Volume
(2) Volume divided by 231 = Percentage of 1 Gallon
(3) Percentage of 1 Gallon times 128 = Capacity in
Liquid Ounces
