[jennyjoan]

As above

[Barmaid]

At a guess, about 9cm

[sandyRoe]

As it's 21cm across it looks as though it would be 6 or 7 cm deep.

[jennyjoan]

right and what would that be in inches - ta

[sandyRoe]

about 8 in diameter and 2 3/4 deep?

[jennyjoan]

Thanks Sandy - I am looking for an 8 inch deep dish oven ware.

[Barmaid]

Jenny, dont get too hung up on the size of a dish. Adjust the recipe to suit. Recipes are only a guide - nothing else. If you get too hung up on the size of your dish you'll end up with a cupboard full of dishes you only ever use once.

[sandyRoe]

Do you mean wide rather than deep, jj?

[Barmaid]

That's what I was just thinking Sandy. Normally when you see "8 inch deep pie dish" it means 8inches across but deep......

[jennyjoan]

Oh I know Barmaid - have just done another pavlova in first time deeper dish and it looks good - only again has lopsided over the edge. As you say I don't have a load of dishes now - I got rid of when I got my new kitchen. Do have another bigger one - will try that next time.

I will be make about 5 for xmas pressies. Thanks all.

8" deep, are you absolutely sure about that measurement? That is incredibly deep, what are you wanting to cook that needs such a depth?

There are many ways of adding depth to every day dishes, such as a double layer of baking parchment tied around a dish, it does depend on what you are cooking though.

[jennyjoan]

no looking 8 inch deep - ah well never - mind - it will go deep into the bellies of thy eater. LOL. bye for now. off to dress it now with cream, fruit and flakes - wee pressie for the sick brother. bye

[Barmaid]

I do pavlova on a tray with a silicone baking sheet.

[jennyjoan]

was trying to aim for a HIGH pavlova. but it looks good. again byeee

[carrust]

A lot of palaver over a pavlova lol.

[EcclesCake]

I cook pavlova on a baking sheet, why do you feel the need to use a deep dish?

If the meringue is good and firm there is no need for a supporting dish.

[jennyjoan]

Thanks but unfortunately - mine all over the years never stood erect.

But today's did - so for me whatever I am doing the deeper dish done the trick.

[jennyjoan]

Next time for Chrimbo I am going to stand even larger.

[EDDIE51]

Looks to be about 1/3rd as deep as it is wide so around 7cm (2 & 1/2 inches)

//...mine all over the years never stood erect. ///

I know the feeling.

May I politely suggest that if they don't stand erect on their own then the whites weren't whisked enough. The mixture is supposed to be stiff enough to stay in the bowl if you turn it upside down. Pavlovas are usually cooked straight on to a baking tray (and I don't think meringue cooks so well in glass anyway)
