This leakproof 9-inch springform pan is ideal for that treasured family cheesecake recipe. The pan's walls are reversible for both right- and left-handed use, and its superior buckle has a lifetime warranty. The perfectly flat bottom is easy to release and provides an evenly baked dessert. For optimal cooking, coat the interior surface of the pan with a very thin layer of butter before each use--this will guarantee a perfect release of cakes and breads. Because of this pan's heavy-gauge steel construction and dark-colored coating, goods baked in it will generally finish cooking in about 10% less time than specified in your recipe.
