Lekue Silicone 9-Inch Springform Pan, White Ceramic Base

Comment: I liked the style of that pan when I found that online, also reviews stated it didn't leak. I needed that for making cakes and pies. First time I tried that there were no problem, second started to leak, I thought maybe I did smth not correctly but 3-rd and 4-th also leaked.
So, I'm still in search of my ideal non leakin' springform pan.

Comment: I bought 2 of these pans and I absolutely love them!! One arrived with the ceramic plate broken but the return/exchange process was incredibly easy (and at no additional cost). They actually shipped me a new one before I sent back the broken one. After using these pans I will never use a metal one again, these are awesome!!

Comment: This is the Springform to get. The silicone seals totally watertight to the base so water baths, custard/liquid fillings are no problem at all. This will beat your metal pans hands down in that department. The ceramic base works great as a serving plate and the silicone unmolds exceptionally easily and doesn't stick a bit. It has handles molded on the edge of the silicone which make it easier to handle than lots of silicone pans are but it's still pretty flexible so if you have a delicate crust that will crack with any movement you need to bake it on something else that's firm, like you would with any other silicone bakeware.

Comment: Thankfully I was able to return the broken form and get a refund...still not sure if I got a defective item...worked great in the oven.
I used the form in the microwave today and after 1min I heard a loud cracking sound and sure enough the ceramic base had broken into 3 pieces making it completely useless! It said it was microwave safe..maybe I got a defective item..unfortunately I only tested it in the microwave now and it's been more than 30 days since I bought it...
I thought it was expensive so I expected more of the product..Very disappointed...

Comment: Maybe I'm doing something wrong but when I've used this product to make cheesecake, I've found that the silicon slips easily off the base when handling it.

This happened when I went to remove the produce off the baking sheet it rested on when in the oven. It had been freshly removed, so the cheesecake was still "molten" and perhaps I should've waited to it cooled further before seeking to put it on a wire rack for cooling. I attempted to lift if from the base (not the handles) but it just slipped right off of the base.

I like the concept and will try to use it again for cheesecake. In the meanwhile, it should be good as a cold mold....
