Kaiser Bakeware Noblesse Easy Bake and Serve Glass Bottom Springform and Carrying Case

I love the Kaiser bakeware line -- great quality, easy to use, very dependable. I paid just a few dollars more to buy this springform with the carrying case (or, as I use it, as a storage case for my cheesecakes in the fridge). It's very handy and guests are always curious when I pull the cheesecake out and take off the top. Nice presentation for an informal dinner! I was a little worried about the glass bottom in this springform, but it's very sturdy and so far has held up great. It's also easy to slide the cheesecake from the pan. All in all, this is a good purchase and looks to me like it will last for a long time!

This is a wonderful idea but it still could be improved. The ledge where the glass bottom sits on the carrying case should be larger and have either a tighter fit or have a non-skid ledge just like the bottom part of the carrying case. If you're not extremely careful while carrying it with your best cheesecake inside, it will flip out and slide from side to side. Other than that, it's a great way to refrigerate or transport a cake and they really knew what they were doing when they designed the lid for locking the lid to the bottom. It's very secure once locked correctly.

The only problem I have is that I had a minor crack in my cheesecake with this pan and this has not happened with my other metal Kaiser form pan. It may be that the glass bottom allows it to bake a little faster. Otherwise I like the glass bottom for serving and the case for storing and transporting my cheesecake.
