9×13 Baking Pan to 8×8 Square Pan: Multiply Recipe by 0.55×
Multiply every recipe ingredient by 0.55× when converting 9×13-inch Quarter-Sheet / Baking Pan to 8×8-inch Square Baking Pan (2" deep) (14 cups vs. 8 cups capacity). Keep recipe oven temperature unchanged. Check doneness 6–10 minutes earlier due to smaller thermal mass.
Pan note (0.55×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 0.55× (surface-area ratio). Check doneness 6–10 minutes earlier due to smaller thermal mass.
Supports fractions (2 1/2 cups, ¾ cup), metric weights (200g), US butter sticks, and packing notes (packed, sifted, scooped).

|---|---|---|---|
| 9×13-inch Quarter-Sheet / Baking Pan | 9" × 13" × 2" H | 117 sq in | 14 cups |
| 8×8-inch Square Baking Pan (2" deep) | 8" × 8" × 2" H | 64 sq in | 8 cups |
Batter depth rule: Fill cake, brownie, and quick-bread pans between ½ and ⅔ full so batter rises evenly without doming. For dark nonstick or glass bakeware, reduce oven temperature by 25°F (15°C).
