Dish Capacity

Icegoddess · ‎03-19-2010

I have a recipe that calls for a 9 1/2 x 6 x 2-inch dish. Was wondering what capacity that would be so I could substitute dishes. I'm planning on halving the recipe, so I need a capacity to start with. Thanks

Was just going to ask the same question! Sweet potato casserole calls for a 3 qt. dish...none of my casserole dishes are labeled in qts.-just inches! Just took a wild guess!! Ugh-the stress of the holidays!! Thanks for the website nightowlz....

Fill it with water and then pour that water into a large measuring cup.

Yeah, but I was hoping not to have to drag all my dishes out to get to it which requires getting out the step ladder.

I was playing around with this. The volume of a standard 9x13" pan is 124 cubic inches. Yours is 114 cubic inches. If you were making the whole recipe, a regular 9x13 pan would be too small, but if you're halving it, it should be fine!

I know this isn't helpful, but that's a weird size dish.
