Good information, MrsLMB. I never thought to search for something like this and should copy and paste it.

I just usually calculate the volume of the pan I have and work accordingly. This won't work for everyone because not everyone is a mathaholic like I am.
 
Andy, it doesn't compute.

I notice the conversion table does NOT say it's ok to substitute a 9 x 13 pan instead of a 10 inch tube pan. ( don't ask me how I know this). :ermm:
 
It might only be two cups smaller, But the volume increases a lot when the batter meets heat. O well, oven cleaning is good for the soul. :(:ohmy::LOL:
 
Thanks. Copied to a Word document and saved in my recipe file. Made some changes for Bold, Underlined, Two-column, etc. Easier to read. I had the option of saving it to Adobe Reader, but wanted to keep it with my recipe file. :angel:
 
I have something similar taped to the inside of a cabinet - a list of the baking dishes I own and their capacities. This will be a helpful addition to that :) Thanks!
