Fat Daddio's Anodized Aluminum Springform Cake Pans

I am becoming quite the customer of this brand and when I saw they had springform pans, I whipped out the credit card and was ready to buy. Once again, Fat Daddios has not let me down. This pan is not only beautiful in looks but more importantly bakes well. Also, I am LOVING the selection of sizes. The 12" pan is huge but WOW what a cheesecake it makes! I have tried both a pineapple upside down cake and my peanut butter chocolate cheesecake and have had spectacular results on both. Perhaps the most consistent compliment I can give for this pan and really all of the FD pans I own is the cleanup. I know these pans are not non stick but I am amazed at how I can simply wipe them clean and rarely have sticking issues.

I really enjoy this springform pan. Having the wider base makes it easier to getting in and out of the oven. I highly recommend this pan. I had no problem of the pan leaking. Have it 3" deep is also a plus!

I enjoy the ease of non-stick coatings, but I am soooooo tired of them flaking off. This pan is anodized aluminum so it does a number of things well. The aluminum bakes nice and even and it does not flake off. The pan also has a nice buckle system and a slightly raised edge around the base that holds the pan and base together very well. I have had no leaks or uneven baking or browning. The height on this one is also nice. Some of the others I looked at were too short to hold a large recipe cheesecake - which is absolutely necessary for my large family. Overall, I do recommend this pan.
