Pan sizing

[mumu]

Would a 2 quart round slope side casserole pan 4 inch side be okay to use instead of a round 2 quart straight side 4 inch side casserole pan. Would baking time change any?

There should be no difference.

Most recipe instructions for bake times are estimates. Not every oven is calibrated exactly the same as every other oven. If you would normally check the product at 20 minutes with the 2 quart straight side 4 inch side casserole pan, you might check a couple minutes earlier when using the slope sided pan. It should be pretty close. I have a very reliable oven but never depend strictly on the instructions written by a person using a different stove in a different location maybe even a different altitude. There are lots of things that can change bake times beside pan sizes.
