When I found a recipe for mini-pumpkin cheesecakes, I knew I had to buy some mini-springform pans. The nonstick feature on this set makes them perfect for any recipe. When you receive them, you will think they are the most adorable kitchen item you have ever seen. They are made in Germany and have a 3-year warranty.

The pans are easy to close and release as they have a nice large clamp on the sides. This makes them perfect for mini cheesecakes. Molten chocolate cakes also sound delicious. For a party, you might want to order more than one box. These pans fit nicely on a baking sheet and you could bake six to a sheet. You could adapt your recipe so you fill these less and then they would make 1 elegant serving per guest for a party.

I was surprised not to find recipes included with the pans, but there are plenty of recipes you could adapt. Just keep the temperature the same and decrease the time. The recipe I have was in the Sunset magazine and called for 10 "tart" pans (4 1/2 inch wide with removable rims). The cheesecakes bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes so that might give you an idea of how you can adapt your own recipe.

When I received my set of Mini Springform pans I was very excited. I couldn't wait to get started on some wonderful deserts. And as expected the results were great. Only after the first washing did the problems reveal themselves. Not only did I notice rust on the release hinges, but the rims on the collars were warped. At first I thought I could live with this, but a friend pointed out it could only get worse. I am used to purchasing top quality kitchen equipment, but these definitely do not make the grade. Admitedly the results of my first time use were great, but I just don't feel these pans will last. I hate buying something and knowing I will have to replace it soon. And that is exactly the way I felt with these pans.

I looked forward to receiving these, since Kaiser's such an established name in bakeware. The hinges rusted on the first washing! Otherwise, they are more flimsy than I thought they would be. I purchased another springform pan in the La Forme line and would definitely stick with that one. It's worth paying a few more dollars to get a heavy duty pan.

These are the cutest little springform pans ever! I just got them yesterday and made mini chocolate cakes first thing! They work like a charm, and the nonstick is great -- they release like a charm. Because of their smaller size, I used the cupcake time on my mix and that was perfect. I found that one cake makes 2 large servings or 3 moderately sized servings. Of course, the size of these pans makes for an unusual presentation, which did impress my friends. Now I just have to go to the store for cheesecake ingredients...

My hinges also rusted on the first washing. They look awful. It was a waste of money and time b/c now I have to find a better set.

I really like the mini-springforms. They are easy to use and so handy when I am doing special holiday cakes to give as individual gifts to co-workers. I like them so well I am considering buying another set to make my baking time twice as fast.

I already owned a set of Wilton Mini Springform Pans, but wanted an extra set so more people could enjoy birthday cheesecake with me (with less work). The Wilton pans are fantastic-easy to clasp, easy to take apart, easy to put back together, easy to clean, study, and have held up perfectly after 10 years.

The new set of Kaiser Bakeware Noblesse Nonstick Mini Springform Pans is quite the opposite. The clasps are cheaply made. They're hard to open and close. My cheesecakes suffered some damage as I tried to release the pan sides. The two parts wouldn't detach completely at this stage-just enough to remove the cheesecake. When it came time to washing the pans, I had to use two hands at great force to separate the two pieces. When it came time to put them back together it took a lot of effort as well.

I would NOT suggest this brand to anyone. I do NOT expect these pans to last long. The clasp quality is poor. The pans did produce nice cheesecakes, but again, suffered damage upon removal from the pans. I have had great results on the past 10 years using the Wilton brand. So, I feel this review is significant. I bought this set on sale for $14.95, and the reason I chose this set over Wilton. I'll stick with Wilton for alll my springform pan needs in the future.

Bought as a gift for my wife, she makes a lot of cheesecakes that the two of us never finish. I thought it would be great to be able to make smaller ones, less waste. The quality of construction on these springform pans are very dissapointing. The top edge is rolled sheet metal and on three of the pans the edge is not rolled over all of the way. This creates a sharp edge that not only can cut fingers but also causes the sliding metal of the spring action to catch and jam, making the release very ineffective. Great idea, horrible execution.

These mini-pans are great for cheesecakes (as you expected), but are also wonderful for making regular cakes (even with a cake mix)!!

I bought these last year, and they held up for the first few months.
At first i thought they were adorable, but after about 10 months, the paint on them started to peel away from the sides! I was horrified when I saw ( after baking a batch of cheesecakes for Sale) that the sides had pieces of black paint 'baked into the side!!

I would stick to Wilton pans the next time, this one is cute at first, but could get you sued in the end!
