How Big is a 9×13 Pan
9×13 pan measures 9 inches by 13 inches, making it rectangular. In metric terms, that’s approximately 23 cm by 33 cm. Its depth is typically around 2 to 3 inches (about 5 to 8 cm), which is suitable for baking casseroles, brownies, or cakes.
How Many Quarts In A 9×13 Pan
A standard 9×13 baking pan typically holds about 3 to 4 quarts. This capacity can vary slightly depending on the specific design and depth of the pan, but generally, you can expect it to hold around 3.5 quarts of volume.
The specific quarts of a 9×13 baking pan are related to the depth. There are four common capacities: 71 fl.oz, 96 fl.oz, 105 fl.oz, and 128 fl.oz. The specific dimensions of a 9×13 pan are listed below.

13 x 9 Pan Baking Brownie Recipes
| Ingredients: |
| 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 4 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup cocoa powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup chocolate chips (optional) |
Steps:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Pan: Line a 13×9 inch foil pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Melt Butter*: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared foil pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
Do Two 8×8 Pans Equal A 9×13
No, 2 8×8 pans do not equal a 9×13 pan in terms of volume.
- An 8×8 pan is 64 square inches (8 inches x 8 inches).
- A 9×13 pan is 117 square inches (9 inches x 13 inches).
So, two 8×8 pans would equal 128 square inches, which is more than a 9×13 pan. If you use two 8×8 pans, your recipe will yield a little more than what fits in a 9×13, and you’ll need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
