I am not a big baker but I thought I would start with these pans. So far, they have worked great. The batter does not leak our, the cakes do not stick, and they come right out of the pan when you open them up.

My Dad was a baker, So I always want really good quality pans to bake with. This surely is a A+ quality pan. I sprayed a little Pam in it and poured in my cake mix. I thought the batter may leak out a little at the bottom seams, do to it being a springform pan. But... No... It was perfect. No leaks. The cake baked nice and even in color. Also the cake removed very easily. In short..It's a Perfect baking pan for you to enjoy.

Nice strong base - does not feel like it can easily bend as some other springform pans I have used in the past.

I was happy at first with the quality of this pan: it has a nice weight and beautiful non-stick coating. But I have only used it a handful of times over 6 months and now it leaks badly. Apparently the clasp has already weakened and no longer pulls the pan closed tightly enough to form a complete seal. It has a "lifetime" guarantee, but you have to send $7 for return shipping and handling to Cuisinart. Together with what it will cost to mail, it's hardly worthwhile, since I purchased it for $12.95.

I ordered two pans. After the first baking, one pan no longer closed securely. Now there is a gap between the inside plate and the outside springform. I have no idea why this happened. The other pan seems to be fine.

This was my first time using this type of pan. It's a nice, heavy duty pan that is definitely non-stick. The cheesecake was easily separated from the outer ring and turned out nicely. I had read the reviews about it leaking, so was ready in case this one did, and it did leak, even though I made sure it was snapped in all the way around. I put a pyrex bowl underneath the drip while it was in the oven and of course, once it started cooking, the drip stopped after about 10 minutes.

I will keep looking for a springform pan that does not leak, if some has suggestions.

This pan has a serious design flaw. The bottom of the pan is a single piece of metal. The edge of the bottom is formed by rolling it up, but there is a small gap here. It is effectively impossible to clean inside this gap, but cake batter flows right in. I used it once and simple couldn't clean it afterwards.

Excellent heavy weight; bottom fits well and will not warp; truly nonstick coating.

I read the positive and negative reviews on this product. The negative reviews said that the pan leaked. I decided to try it anyway. Did the water test first and the water poured through it. But, I tried the water test with pans I already have and they also did some leaking with the water test, but hold when I'm baking a cheesecake. I made a crust and put it in this pan, and when I pulled it out, butter was dripping out the bottom. I should have listened to the negative reviews. I will be returning this pan and finding a better one.

We use the pans daily to our restaurant cakes and they hold up very well.
