America Test Kitchen recommended baking a cheesecake pan in a larger pan to avoid getting seepage if you use a water bath. Would this pan work.

My wife places the pan in the center of a piece of aluminum foil and wraps it up the sides. This prevents water infiltration into the pan, but the thin layer of metal doesn't affect the heat transfer as much as a second pan would. Her cheesecakes come out beautifully.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. You should bake a cheesecake in a springform pan, so this one would definitely NOT work. You would not be able to get the cake out of the pan. However, here's a cooking tip from a cheesecake baker expert. Rather than putting the pan in a water bath, I put a pan of water on a shelf BELOW the cake. The idea of the water bath is to add moisture to the oven - this does the trick with out problem.

Hi Joe,Yes this pan will work if you are placing the springform pan inside of this pan. Allow an extra one inch circumference to fit the springform inside, a 9 inch springform should use at least a 10 inch pan, and so on for the size, then place both pans into the pan with the water for a water bath. This technique of placing the cheesecake pan inside of another pan is to eliminate leakage. I discovered this technique on Food Network Alton Browns' Good Eats years ago. I hope this helps.

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, although you would put a little more than usual in each pan. Best just to give it a go.

This varies from individual to individual. I don't know about you, but I have tried this a few times with the one that I bought and not had any success. My guess is that, for most people, a somewhat deeper pan is required, and it wouldn't hurt for it to be a bit larger in its lateral dimensions.

Would you be baking them in a water bath? I think you would want to wrap the pan in foil if you are going to bake in a water bath. I used with a very liquidy cake batter and didn't have any problems with leaking. If you are doing creme brulee, you would obviously want to be careful if you are using a torch to make a sugar crust!

Yes that should work. It works like a regular baking pan. Check it at 15 to twenty minute intervals to ensure proper cook time.

oK as bad as it sounds never use soap on your baking pans.I was trained by some great bakers and you wipe them down as much as you can while hot.A good baker has brown pans :) .If you can not live with brown pan's use parchment paper.I have broken down and used a sos pads and (scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner) Good stuff .Do not use bleach / bleach water on metal it causes rust.Never soak or submerge under water (air bake pans ) ever ,water gets inside and moisture will ruin the outcome of everything you bake..Best of luck Baking blessings :)

I suppose it depends in what you bake. I only make cheesecakes in these and line the bottom with parchment paper for transferring later. Some butter does melt out from the crust, but I always have a tray underneath for a water bath so it doesn't get everywhere in the oven. The foil is a great idea as well if you are worried.

http://www.glorioustreats.com/2012/11/pumpkin-cheesecake-recipe.html I 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. :)

If you are doing a water bath, no. You will need to cover the outsides with foil. Another tactic I have used is to place a large bowl of water in the rack below my pans (instead of doing a water bath).If you mean leaking batter from the inside out, I have not had any problems with that.

I took out my Fluted Tube Pan and did a test for you...it holds exactly 10 cups of water in it. However when you use the pan to "bake" it holds a basic cake box mix in it perfectly when done baking. I hope this helps you out? It is basically a "Bundt" cake pan and I personally use it all the time!

You shouldn't poke holes in your cheesecake. It'll cause it to crack. But if you are going to I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Yes, just like the other reviewers commented it cannot work effectively if you do not have a pan underneath with water to steam what is in the pan/pot

I believe it would as long as the pan fits inside. The Kaiser bakeware is the only pan which my wife uses for her cheesecakes because of the even heating of the pan.

I'm not sure if America's test kitchen changed review or not, however the one I purchased it's great, I make sure I grease pan thoroughly, then floured shake excess flour and my cakes slide right out, it cooks evenly, I do turn pan around half cooking time not because of pan but my oven. I did purchase because of American Test Kitchen review . Hope this is helpful.

oh yes... though be sure to put in a larger pan as well in case of spill over

I have a different silicone springform that I put right in the water bath. I expected that with this, but it leaked in. Perhaps if I'd wrapped with foil it would've worked but I'm not risking another attempt.

There is a product called Goo Gone. Use that. You can not soak the pan in water because it is not supposed to be immersed in water.
