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.

Solid baking pan

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.
