Convert 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan to 13x18-Inch Half-Sheet Rim Pan: Exact Scaling Multiplier & Bake Time

To convert a recipe written for an 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan (150 in², 10 cups capacity) to an 13x18-Inch Half-Sheet Rim Pan (234 in², 16 cups capacity), multiply all ingredient quantities by 1.56x (by surface area) or 1.6x (by total rim volume).
Surface Area Multiplier1.56xRecommended for cakes
Total Volume Multiplier1.6xFor deep casseroles
Unscaled Fill Depth0.41"(40.6% pan capacity)
Baking Time Delta-25%Based on batter thickness

✅ Direct 1:1 Swap Compatible (No Ingredient Scaling Mandatory)

The 10x15-Inch Jelly Roll Pan batter fills the 13x18-Inch Half-Sheet Rim Pan safely to 40.6% capacity (0.41" deep). You can bake without scaling ingredients, but ensure you adjust baking time as calculated below.
