Kaiser Bakeware Basic Tinplate 9-by-2-Inch Springform Pan with 2 Bases

 (2 customer reviews)

I have had one of these pans for over 15 years, and after using it to make at least 2 cheesecakes and 1 lighter variety such as coffee cake per year (around 40 or 50 cakes), the buckle unexpectedly broke. It popped off on one side where it was attached to the pan as I was trying to release the latest cheesecake. So I was forced to dig the cake out slice by slice with a knife and pie server.

I'm still buying an exact replacement pan because 1. this is the perfect size pan for our family's favorite cheesecake recipe, 2. it comes with the ring pan insert for that cake option, and 3. I prefer this to the type with a nonstick surface. Call me old school, but I just don't trust those nonstick coatings.

I love spring form pans. Yes, you have to be careful with washing them, but they work really well and save so much time since they come apart, for releasing items and the washing!
