Springform pan

Springform pan

A springform pan is a two-piece baking pan where the sides and bottom can be removed. The pan pieces are snapped together while baking, and easily removed once the dessert is completed. It is designed to literally "spring" away from a cake after baking so as not to damage it. They are available in a number of sizes, shapes and metals. Round 9" and 10" anodized aluminum or heavy-gage steel are the most common forms. They can come in many variations, heart or star-shaped being the least common. This pan is mainly used for cakes, tortes and frozen desserts. This is a popular choice when making cheesecakes as they can easily collapse.
