PANBAKE
Baking recipes, techniques, and pastry-making guides — plus the calculators behind every bake.
From scaling a recipe and converting oven temperatures to switching between cups and grams, estimating bake times, costing out a recipe, and rescuing a bake with the right substitution, PanBake pairs free hands-on baking calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Bake smarter, bake better.
Baking Tools & Calculators
Free tools for every bake — recipe scaler, oven temperature converter, baking unit converter, cooking time calculator, meal cost calculator, and ingredient substitution finder.
Recipe Scaler
Scale any recipe up or down by servings — list your ingredients and get every quantity recalculated instantly, so you can bake for a crowd or just for two without the mental maths
Oven Temperature Converter
Convert oven temperatures between Celsius, Fahrenheit, and UK gas mark, and get the fan-oven setting too — so you can follow any recipe wherever it was written
Baking Unit Converter
Convert between cups, spoons, millilitres, grams, and ounces — and cross from volume to weight using an ingredient's density — for accurate, repeatable baking
Cooking Time Calculator
Get a typical bake time and oven temperature for cookies, cakes, muffins, bread, and weight-scaled roasts — a quick starting point so nothing comes out under- or over-baked
Meal Cost Calculator
Work out what a recipe really costs — enter each ingredient's package price, package size, and the amount you use, and get the total and the cost per serving in seconds
Baking Substitution Finder
Out of butter, eggs, buttermilk, or baking powder? Find proven baking substitutions with the right ratios and notes — a quick rescue when you're missing an ingredient mid-recipe
Baking & Pastry Museum
Wander an immersive museum of the craft that shapes the way we bake — the breads and pastries at the heart of the kitchen alongside cakes and cookies, the tools and techniques of the trade, the ingredients that make a bake rise and brown, and the traditions passed down through generations, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind every great bake: how each one came to be, what makes it work, and the role it plays in the way we bake today.
