Cheesecake Pans

Want your family to think your cheesecake came from a store?  Then having a good cheesecake pan is a must.

Springform pans and pans with a removable bottom allow you to remove your cheesecake from the pan quickly and effortlessly.  Whether you decide to use the springform or the removeable bottom pan, they both allow you to remove your cheesecake without disturbing the sides, making your cheesecake look like it came from a bakery.

The only drawback with the springform pan is that the sides may begin to buckle or the spring in the release stops working and you also need to watch out for leaks.

Quick Tip: Wrapping the springform bottom with aluminum can help prevents leaks and it also a good idea to use if you cook in a water bath.

Plus, most of these pans come with a nonstick interior.  But even if they don't, you can always coat with cooking spray or a generous amount of butter.

But before you can pour the batter into the pans, you've got to mix it.  Check out mixers for cheesecake.
