Nordic Ware Leak Proof Springform Pan, 10 Cup, Assorted Colors, 9 Inch

The color of the pan is a positive however I have noticed that it is difficult to press the graham cracker crust into place because the bottom is so flexible- it flexes as I press on the bottom causing it to pop back into place and cracking the crust. I have also found that the edges of the cheesecake cook faster than the middle which causes the cheesecake to be very brown around the edges and very undercooked in the middle. I make cheesecakes for my nieces restaurant (they dip the small cut cheesecake "bites" in funnel cake batter and deep fry them) so they don't need to look perfect and this pan gets the job done. If I needed to make a cheesecake that needed to be asthetically pleasing I would invest in a pricier pan but for my purposes it get the job done for a decent price. This pan cleans up easily and the latch works great. If anyone can recommend a nice springform pan that is NOT a dark non stick pan please let me know (basically a nice aluminium springform pan).

This pan is wonderful. I bought it to make my first cheesecake from scratch. It was wonderful and worked perfectly. No hassles. I love this pan and I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

In the few weeks that I've had the pan now I've made two cheesecakes and one key lime pie. All turned out wonderful, no leaking (I think it would be hard with the batters and crusts) and no burning. The pan is very easy to clean even without using scouring pads which would probably ruin the surface.

Also, for anybody that is interested, my pan came labeled "Made in Germany."
