Converting Cheesecake Recipes?

[Nonnie4Two]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of making a cheesecake for Thanksgiving, but would like to use my 11 inch springform. Most of the recipes I'm finding are for 8 or 9 inch springforms.

Does anyone know how to increase a recipe when you're upping the size of the pan?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Nonnie

Are you sure your springform pan is 11 inches and not 10? I only ask because an 11 inch springform pan is an unusual size for home use.

A 9 x 2 1/2-inch springform pan will hold 10 cups of batter.
A 10 x 2 1/2-inch springform pan will hold 12 cups of batter.

A 8 x 3-inch springform pan will hold 11 cups of batter.
A 9 x 3-inch springform pan will hold 12 cups of batter.

I'm guessing that an 11 x 2 1/2-inch springform pan will hold 14 cups of batter. (I don't own an 11-inch pan, so I can't measure it for you.)

Since you will need about 14 cups of batter (for an 11 x 2 1/2-inch pan), I would say you need to increase your recipe by 1/4 to 1/3 (depending on what size pan your original recipe called for).

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, my pan is a 11 inch. It's old and I got it from a family member who used to work at a bakery, so maybe that's why.

I appreciate the help!

Guess not that unusual Dee, a quick google search turned up a brand I'm familiar with .
