Anolon Advanced Nonstick Bakeware 9-Inch Spring Form Pan

What a wonderful product. For more years than I can count, I have been making New York style cheesecake (the one that calls for 2 1/2 lbs of cream cheese), with O.K. results, using my old aluminum spring form pan. Finally it gave way, thank goodness, so I bought this Analon pan. It works very well, cheese cake cooks more evenly, with less cracking. I didn't even wrap it and put it into a pan of water, and the cheese cake turned out perfectly, cooked evenly. I used to wrap and sumerge my old thin aluminum once in a while, but found it to be too much trouble most of the time. With this pan, you don't have to worry about it, it cooks evenly without the water bath. I am also replacing the old aluminum pan in our winter home. I don't make cheesecake all that often, but when I do I want it to turn out perfectly. The ingredients are pricey, so it is worth it to have the best pan for the job.

I love my Anolon cookware! When I needed a new springform pan, Analon was the natural choice. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The spring mechanism is strong and solid. This pan will last a long time. The non-stick finish is smooth and lives up to its claims. I recommend this springform pan and all Analon products.

Love, it does not leak and no scratches. Iv used a butter knife cutting cheese cake and quish. Finish is commercial.

I normally consider spring form pans to be shapers, not really a leak proof container. I bought this one to replace one by Chicago Metallic that had problems with the closing clasp (springing open on its own.) The quality is first rate with a nice feel to it. First thing baked was a cheesecake. Not trusting it to be really leak proof, I wrapped the bottom half in aluminum foil, and then put it in a water bath. I guess I wasn't paying close attention and filled the water just a tad too deep...enough that it was over the aluminum foil by a bit. A normal spring form pan would have water logged the crust. With this pan, no water entered the pan and the cheesecake turned out perfect.

Nice heavy bottom, very sturdy and no sticking!
