Cuisinart AMB-9SP 9-Inch Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware Springform Pan, Silver

My last springform pan was cheap and the latch broke off in a way that prevented me from actually removing the sides. When I decided to order a new one, I looked for something that appeared to be higher quality. I did have to use the cues of price and brand name, since I can't actually look at a physical item before purchasing on Amazon.After having used this pan, I'm happy with it. It's heavier and sturdier than it looks. To me, this indicates the use of high-quality materials in its construction. While it's a bit dark in color, I found that I did not have to adjust the baking temperature; my cheesecake turned out well just following the directions given in the recipe. The latch worked well and the sides were easy to remove. The pan was also easy to clean (I did wash it by hand as I find that bakeware lasts longer that way).I did not try testing this pan by filling it with water. My cheesecake batter was much thicker and more viscous than water. It did not leak out. I don't usually bake cheesecakes using the water bath method, but if you wanted to do this, a regular-width sheet of aluminum foil is large enough to cover the outside of the bottom of this pan.In the end, I'm glad I paid a little bit extra, because I got a high-quality springform pan that, with proper care, should last a long time.

Perfect size for a cheesecake! Super easy to use and very durable. Exactly what I needed! First cheesecake was amazing!

The cheesecake I made was a huge hit! My family is begging for more. This worked great. Of course if you are making cheesecake you need to wrap this in tight foil so the water bath doesnt leak in. I wound up buying a silicone sleeve so foil won't be needed next time I made one.Mine came with no dents or dings. Easy lock and release. I did not put enough pam in the bottom and did a no no, I used a butter knife to cut the cheesecake. This page clearly states not to use a knife because it will scratch, and I I scratched it a bit but that's because I ignored the directions for the use of this pan. If you use a knife it will scratch. I should have used a pie cutter. That's not the fault of the manufacturer, it's mine. This is an excellent quality brand.

Extremely Pleased with this pan! I purchased this Cuisinart 9" Springform Pan about 1 1/2 years ago for My 12 Year Old Son who wanted to make a Christmas Cheesecake. Cuisinart AMB-9SP 9-Inch Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware Springform Pan, Silver Neither he, or I had ever made a cheesecake or used a springform pan before, so I really had no idea what to expect and was just hoping for the best.

I received this pan late in October. It's nearly Christmas now. I've made 2 cheesecakes, so it's been dishwasher cleaned and dried 3 times. When I picked it up from the dishwasher the 3rd time, rusty water leaked out of the rolled edge on the top.I picked this pan because Cuisinart is a top brand. I guess that's never a guarantee.

Awesome build quality. You can just feel it from the weight when you first pick it up. Non-stick works amazingly and is rather rugged (accidently scraped it with a knife and it didn't scratch).Love it.

I've been trying to teach myself how to decorate cakes using fondant,. but my cake pans weren't too good so I bought 2 of these. I absolutely love that I can take the side of the cake pans off so all I had to do is use a metal spatula slide just under the cake then the cake came right off without falling apart. I am definitely loving these cake pans.
