- Temperature equivalents are not exact - only a guide. Consult your oven's manual for its particular settings.
- Settings for convection ovens should be about 50°F (c. 25°C) less than the above.
- Remember to use an oven thermometer to check the actual temperature of your oven, as they do occasionally need to be re-calibrated.

How to figure out the capacity of a round (cylindrical) container

Learn ahead of cooking or baking...
...How much batter to put in a cake pan, or
...How much liquid a non-marked sauce pan will hold, for example.

The formula is intended for straight-sided pans, however you can also get a good approximation of capacity

First take these measurements:

For the Radius: Measure across the inside of the pan, and divide by two.
     (Multiply this figure by itself to get the Radius Squared for the formula.)
For the Height: Measure from the inside bottom up to the fill line.
     (Measure up to the lip of the pan if you're filling it to the brim.)

3-part formula:

(1)   Pi  x  r²  x  h = volume (in cubic inches)
(2)   volume  /  231 = percentage of gallon
(3)   percentage of gallon  x  128 = capacity (in ounces)

Pi = 3.1415927
231 = Cubic Inches in a Gallon of Liquid
128 = Ounces in a gallon

r = Radius = one half the Diameter
r² = Radius Squared = Radius x Radius
h = Height
x = times
/ = divided by

Therefore, using your calculator:

(1)    3.1415927 times Radius Squared times Height = Volume
(2)   Volume divided by 231 = Percentage of 1 Gallon
(3)   Percentage of 1 Gallon times 128 = Capacity in Liquid Ounces
