Can you bake two boxes in a 9 1/2 x 13 pan or is it best to stick to two separate 8 x 8 pans?

I would try it, if once your 9 1/2 x 13 is filled enough for it to rise an inch or so, you should be safe, test to see if it is done after recommended time, you may need a few more minutes. Good luck, why mess up two pans when one should do.

You might want to check the Betty Crocker website and see if they have a suggestion. I usually bake two 8" or 9" layers together. If I were baking a sheet cake, I'd set the timer for the suggested time for a 9" round and then check with a toothpick. If the pick comes out gooey, add a few minutes and check again. I like a moist cake, so I usually take the cake out when the toothpick comes out just barely clean.

Maybe the Vendor can answer the question precisely. Does this oven accomodate a Standard half-Sheet Pan? This should NOT be a mystery. No "I think", "Maybe" or "I thought". Either yes or no. And it would be nice to know how many half-sheet pans can be baking at the same time, in other words, four slots/positions doesn't necessarily mean four can work well. There may be some other design feature that limits the efficiency of heat distribution or some other factor limiting the capacity. How about some information from the horse's mouth?

It's probably unnecessary to have two. However, for me, it's safest to have two for heaver pots pans etc. I'm also always misplacing one so a second is critical for my baking sanity. :)

I used mine with a 9x13 cake and had no problems. Handle with care, follow the directions, and you should be fine. Enjoy! :)

The pans are actually smaller - they are 4x2x2 - a standard loaf recipe will fill 2-3 of these pans. They were great during the holidays as I made quick breads for my Christmas packages - so I was able to get 3 done at a time with one recipe without hoping it would double-triple well. I recommend the pans - but if you were looking for a standard 9x5 pan - these are not it.

I would and have used the 8" paper on a pan of the size you describe and have no problem. I first spray the pan, then place the paper in the pan and spray the paper. Works like a charm. Don't go to the trouble of trimming 9" paper

I placed a cardboard template in the oven that measured 10 x 11 3/4". The 11 3/4" edge just makes it around with a 1/4" on each side. So to correct my original answer, 9 x 13's wouldn't make it around.

I have two 9x 13 cake pans. One fits in but the other has little handles so it won't. I do love the oven and so far every thing has turned out good.

Cuisinart makes another countertop model that will easily take a 9 X 13 baking pan. I can use my Le Creuset heavy baking dish in it. It is a TOB 260.

2 boxes of cake mixes should be fine. I make my batter from scratch and it would probably equal that due to the amount of eggs used.

I have found that most standard muffin or quick bread recipes work in these pans. If the recipe is smaller, you can make smaller loaves. If its larger and you put more batter in the pans, the loaves rise more are larger. They're about the same size or maybe slightly smaller than the big six-muffin pans.

I'm not sure. I specifically ordered these pans, so I could divide 13 x 9 casseroles into three pans--bake one and freeze 2 or 3 for future use. Sorry I couldn't help.

I have used the pans. It was fun using these. One problem is the cake will make 4 (2) layer cakes. You get 4 pans and will have to make these in 2 batches unless you buy another set of pans. The recipe calls for a regular cake mix and you just split the batter between the pans. Glad I bought them. It's a little different for me.

You'll be surprised at how small amount of batter is provided in each box. This box provides enough for one layer of a regular two-layer cake so it will most probably be small enough to accomplish what you are wanting to do.

I make 11/2 recipe for a recipe that calls for a 9in. Spring form pan. It seems to work for me.

I found the best is to use a 1 pound recipe. I like the double pan because I can make two different kinds fo bread at a time.
