I made a few different mini cheesecake recipes with this pan and all have turned out great. Try going on pinterest and putting in mini cheesecake recipe. I've made a raspberry white chocolate one and a khalua one too. The khalua one was better when I only used half of the amount of khalua called for.

http://www.glorioustreats.com/2012/11/pumpkin-cheesecake-recipe.htmlI have used this recipe with great success. No need to oil the pans or bake on water bath. After use I simply wipe down with warm water. :)

I just used a regular cheesecake recipe and split Oreo cookies (white filling scraped off. Just use 1/2 a cookie in each) and no water bath. Worked great! Sprayed with Pam first.

Due to the size of these "cakes" I haven't used the water bath method and cooking time is very short. My first try was with a recipe that came with the pan and then I searched some the the well known recipe sites for mini cheesecakes and got many. Keep trying...even mistakes are tasty!

I did not use the water bath method since they were so small and the baking time was short. But if you are bent on using that method I would suggest you put a pan of water on the bottom shelf.

Hi H, I've only used Peggy Porschen's triple berry cheesecake recipe in these tins. Just spray them lightly with canola spray or something neutral, then run a paper towel around them to remove most of the oil. Here's a link to the recipe. It's light and delicious and perfect portion size to end a meal. http://www.womanandhome.com/recipes/531947/triple-berry-cheesecakes

I have cut circles of parchment paper which I use to line them and use my New York cheesecake recipe. I do not use a water bath and watch the cooking time very closely for the first few times. I also bake the graham crust for 10 minutes and let cook before filling.

I used allrecipe.com mini cheesecake recipe with graham cracker crust. I topped with lemon curd and berries and kiwis. They turned out great.

Hi again. I just (for the first time) tried baking the eggs in the oven. It worked fine - I just coated the silicone pod with a bit of coconut oil (great flavor! But you could use any oil you like) and placed the egg in the oven at 320 F / 160 C. It took about 25 minutes to cook the whites, but admittedly I added some egg white to the whole egg. The egg came out of the pod with absolutely no hassle, and tasted excellent. Pod just went into the dishwasher.Having said that, I personally didn't notice any difference between baking and poaching. Poaching in a pan with the lid on is much quicker though (5 - 7 minutes).I trust this helps. Hi again. I just (for the first time) tried baking the eggs in the oven.

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

I have not had much luck with making whole wheat/whole grain breads. I have tried using the recipes in the book that came with it & followed recipe exactly, no luck. I have made homemade breads of all types by hand for years so I am not a novice bread baker. I would try a different machine.

I use a recipe that calls for 2 cream cheeses and 2 eggs and no sour cream or additional liquids and it makes roughly 12-15 mini cheesecakes depending on how thick the crust is. Hope that helps

I have not tried to do mini-pies so can not answer; sorry. Using bread and fruit is the closest I have come...it is like a turnover with a mini-pie taste.

You can use any cupcake or any Bundt cake or even a regular pound cake mix will do for these mini cakes. There are many cookbooks out there now offering recipes for making mini cakes/cupcakes.

I stopped making cheesecake for a long time because the springform pans all leaked. This pan DEFINITELY DOES WORK. I make cheesecake in this pan all the time. Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan and around the sides of the pan. Brush just enough butter on the inside of the pan to make the parchment paper stick to the pan. The parchment can overlap and can also be higher than the sides of the pan. Make your cheesecake as usual. Bake in a water bath. After the cheesecake has cooled, dip the entire pan in hot water for just 30-60 seconds. Dry pan. Run a thin knife in between the cheesecake and the parchment paper around the sides of the pan then slowly pull out the parchment. Lay WAX paper very lightly on the top of the cheesecake. I use the 10" pan for my cheesecake so I take a 10" cake round and put it inside the pan on top of the wax paper and flip it over. Slowly peel the parchment paper off the bottom of the cake. Put another cake round or a plate or serving dish on top of the bottom of the cheesecake and flip it back over. Very gently pull the wax paper off the top. Perfect every time as long as your cheesecake recipe is good. My cheesecake recipe is a combination of the New York Cheesecake in The Joy of Cooking, Alton Brown's cheesecake and my grandmother's little tweaks. The most important thing is to make sure your oven is calibrated. Oh also since I use the 10" version of this pan, I use the 13" version with a tea towel in the bottom of it to hold the water for the water bath. Any pan larger by a few inches than the one you are using to hold your cheesecake will work.

Yes, there were several recipes in the instruction guide. However, I didn't try them. I use my own recipes...in a pinch, I cheat and use box of cake mix. I have had the unit for almost a year and still enjoy using it.

Here is a mini mocha cheesecake: http://artofnaturalliving.com/2015/05/13/mini-mocha-cheesecakes/

I have never cooked a cake , other than cheesecake, but I don't know why you couldn't. I would be careful about cutting the cake though on the bottom as it would scratch easily I would think. Also since have never cooked a regular cake, I don't know if the top springform would release ok-but one of the folks that answered you said that it would.

You may find the Mini Cherry Cheesecake recipe at pinchmysalt.com There are also a few mini pumkin recipes floating around if you just search for mini cheesecake you are sure to find a few using the Norpro pan. That is how I just found the two recipes I am talking about. Good Luck! And enjoy!

Dear BrendaI am not much help here I personally never use cake mixes. I would suggest that you experiment. Use your natural creativity. Anything you can do with a regular cake should would work, just remember to oil the pan liberally and have fun.

I use mine for a water bath when making cheesecakes. You will need to put two layers of tin foil tightly around the bottom. I have made cheesecakes this way about six times and had not problems.
