Should you line a springform pan?

Removing certain baked goods, such as cakes and cheesecakes, can be tricky as the pastry sometimes sticks to the side or bottom of a pan. Using parchment paper to line the springform pan helps prevent sticking.

Which side is the bottom of a springform pan?

Springform pans are circular baking pans that contain two parts. The circular part, or the form, unclips to release tension, or clips to hold it into place. The bottom is just that, the bottom of the pan that you slip into the form when you are ready to fill it with batter.

How do you remove the bottom of a springform pan from a cheesecake?

Removing a cheesecake from the bottom of a springform pan is best done with help from someone else. Make sure your cheesecake is chilled overnight so that it's very firm. Remove the band from the pan; take a large knife or metal spatula and carefully run it under the bottom of the cheesecake to loosen it.

Will cake batter leak in a springform pan?

Can you bake a cake in a springform pan? We don't suggest using cake batter in a springform pan. Since the bottom and sides of the pan do not have a strong seal, there's a chance your batter can leak out and all over your oven.
