I have purchased several different sizes of these pans and love them all. I make and sell cheesecakes as a side business so I have made my fair share and these pans out perform the spring form pans. They are easy to put together , the pans do not lose their shape,the cheesecakes shape and form come out beautiful and leakage is not a problem. That said, I do bake my cheesecakes either in a water bath or on a parchment lined cookie sheet and usually there will be some butter that will leak out from the crust. I also spray the pans with a baking spray to ensure proper release. I have never had one stick in the pan when I do this. This also helps with the cheesecake naturally pulling away from the sids of the pan as it cools, which helps reduce the risk of the cheesecake cracking. I love these pans and use them exculsively, no more springforms for me!

I love this pan for several reasons:
(1) I do not use nonstick cookware, but also do not use the typical made-in-China aluminum bakeware unless it's something that I can line it with parchment. However, these are anodized, a process that "seals" and hardens the aluminum so that it is nonreactive and will not leach into foods.
(2) There is no spring mechanism to break
(3) It does not leak
(4) Love the choices of pan heights available
(5) Cleans up like a breeze, even from sticky doughs, without greasing or flouring (or lining with parchment!)

The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that (&%$#$)#@!!!! UPC sticker on the bottom, which another user also mentioned. That has got to be the WORST sticker to remove that I have ever come across. I tried soaking in hot soapy water. I tried Goo Gone. Followed by more soaking in hot soapy water. Tried scraping with a plastic utensil. Followed by more Goo Gone, leaving it on for almost 10 minutes. The only thing that succeeded in taking the sticker off was non-acectone nail polish remover. Before that happened, however, the neighborhood kids may have overheard several interesting new word combinations via my open kitchen-sink window. ;-)

After throwing away my last nonstick springform pan due to the nonstick surface beginning to peel), I decided to search for a longer lasting substitute and read about this pan. Boy, am I glad I did! I just made a cheesecake and it was WONDERFUL to have the sides tall enough (I purchased the 9x3) that I did not have to place a foil rim around the pan. And the removable bottom worked effortlessly without needed the springform mechanism. Anodized aluminum cooked it up beautifully; will use this for cakes also. Buy this pan--you won't be sorry!!!

I bought a 10x3 size and have baked already three times with it. I am very happy with this product. This pan works very well not only for cheese cakes but also other type of cakes.

After having used this pan, I get rid of all non-stick springform pan I had, whose non-stick form does not last so long anyway. This pan is so much better choice. Reasonable pricing, sturdy material, and easiness to use and clean! I will add a couple of different size soon.

Seriously, use these pans. We own a small dessert and cake shop, and used to have a "replacement cycle" for springform pans. We started replacing with Fat Daddio's pans, beginning with the small ones which always wear out faster. We have now totally phased out springforms for preference of these pans. The first Fat Daddio's we bought are still in daily use, having outlived what would have been several rounds of replacements with springforms. They are no worse for wear after 1-2 years of heavy use, stay cleaner and yield more consistent product than our old pans. Our money now goes into expanding our inventory, not replacing it!

I bake for my son's restaurant and for others and make alot of cheesecakes. These are by far the best pans for cheesecakes. I spray the bottom and sides with a butter spray and yes when making an oreo crust they leak a little. Use a little less butter in the crust and put a shield under the pan. I never bake in a water bath since I started using baking strips around my pans. I use two of the larger ones so the pans are completely wrapped and havene't had a crack since and no soggy bottom. These pans bake evenly and release fine. If your crust is sticking, put it on the burner (I have a gas stove) turn it on and count to 15 and take it off. Slide a cake large cake spatula (like Wilton's) under it and it will come right off. Also, freeze your crusts about 10-15 min., don't bake them and they will hold together fine.

I have 9" cheesecake pans that were my grandmother's and I LOVE them. I've been wanting different sizes to be able to make a variety of cakes. This pan is exactly what I wanted. I use this pan for regular layer cakes and the easy release bottom is a breeze. I'll be coming back for more as I have need!

The photo is VERY misleading. The photo shows a rolled edge on the bottom disk and a groove around the inside of the pan to make it sealed so nothing can leak out. Well what I received is a flat disk and the bottom of the pan is smooth which allows the disk to slide around.

I make a lot of cheesecakes and thought I had found a better pan. I was VERY disappointed when I received the pan.

We really love these removeable bottom pans for cheesecakes. I have had a few others that I purchased from a cheesecake business, but didn't have a 7" so I bought these. They are great, and they hold up well as well. I highly recommend these for all of you cheesecake lovers out there. And for a tip for removing the cheesecakes, After running a knife around the edge of the cheesecake about 5 minutes out of the oven, let it cool overnight and then take a can of tomatoes or something and set the pan of cheesecake on top (centered) and push down. The outside of the pan slides right down and 'voila' you are left with a cheesecake that slides neatly off of the bottom with the help of a knife.

Buy with ease, I love these pans!

perfect to use it for baking Chiffon cake and Angale food cake.
The material is much thicker than Wilton angale tube cake pan.
very easy to clean after soak in water for a while.
I am going to buy more this pan in different size..
