Converting tray bake recipes: here's how!

The conversion table shows you how to easily adjust the list of ingredients to your baking tray size. For example, if the recipe states a baking tray size of 26x38 cm, but your tray is 32x36 cm, you will find the number in the table where the two sizes meet. The number 1.2 is now your conversion factor by which you multiply all the ingredients.
