9×13 Baking Pan to 9×9 Square Pan: Multiply Recipe by 0.69×
Multiply every recipe ingredient by 0.69× when converting 9×13-inch Quarter-Sheet / Baking Pan to 9×9-inch Square Baking Pan (2" deep) (14 cups vs. 10 cups capacity). Keep recipe oven temperature unchanged. Check doneness 6–10 minutes earlier due to smaller thermal mass.
Pan note (0.69×): Multiply all recipe ingredients by 0.69× (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 |
