What Size Is a Large Casserole Dish

My thoughts: The 9×13-inch rectangular casserole pan is by far the most called-for dish in casserole cookery, followed closely by the 8×8 (or 9×9) square dishes. (The 9×13 also holds about 3 quarts of volume, so in some recipes it can be used interchangeably with a 3 quart Dutch oven, like this one.)

What sizes do casserole dishes come in?

  • quart dish (4 cups) – 8″ x 6″ x 1 ½” (round)
  • quart dish (8 cups) – 11″ x 7″ x 1. 5″ (oblong) 2½-quart dish (10 cups) – 9″ x 9″ (square)
  • quart dish (12 cups) – 13″ x 9″ x 2″ (oblong)
  • quart dish (16 cups) – 14″ x 10″ x 2″ (oblong)
  • quart dish (20 cups) – 11″ x 15″ (oblong)

How big is a 9x13 casserole dish?

A 9×13-inch pan holds between 12 and 14 cups and has 117 square inches of surface area. Therefore, halving pretty much any recipe that goes into a 9×13-inch pan means that you need a pan that holds between 6 and 8 cups and has about 60 square inches of surface area.
