| 2247.1 | inexpensive, and essential to some repices | VIA::GLANTZ | Mike, DTN 381-1253 | Mon Feb 12 1990 15:27 | 6 |
| It's a round cake pan with tall sides which can be separated from the
bottom (usually by releasing a little latch). They sometimes come with
two different bottoms, where one is flat, and the other has a tube in
the center for making cakes with a hole in the middle. You can find
them at many supermarkets, and certainly in any cooking store. Spag's
has them, too.

| 2247.2 | Could Be Called Spring-form | DELREY::BARBER_BO | | Mon Feb 12 1990 15:28 | 12 |
| Cathy:
These pans are usually called "spring form" pans. They are about
8" or 9" in diam., circular, and have a 4" high "wall". They have
a clip mech. that allows you to close the pan tight around a form
and after the cheesecake is set, you "unclip" the pan and remove
it without disturbing the contents. Any department store cooking
section or a Crate & Barrel will have them and I think they're about
$10 to $15. If you're going to do a cheesecake, I'd recommend getting
one. They can also be used to mold other deserts.

| 2247.3 | They come in many sizes | NITMOI::PESENTI | Only messages can be dragged | Tue Feb 13 1990 07:42 | 10 |
| They come in many sizes from about 4" to at least 12". I have several. One
favorite recipe calls for a 9" pan. I substitute a 12" pan and add a bit extra
to the crust mix. The 9" pan yields a 2-3" thick cake, the 12" yields a 1-2"
cake with LOTS of servings (great for a crowd, or for people who only want a
little piece...its hard to make a tall cheese cakeslice thin without breaking).
There is no substitute, unless you like to eats your cheese cake with a spoon
directly from the pan.

| 2247.4 | Kitchen Etc | MARX::TSOI | | Tue Feb 13 1990 11:27 | 11 |
| I believe Kitchen Etc carries springform pan for about $3-$5, depending
on the size. Kitchen Etc can be found at: D.W. plaza at Nashua and
also the (?) mall next to the Burlington Mall at Middlesex Turnpike.
You really do need a springform pan for cheesecakes, and should get the
correct size the recipe suggested (and butter the sides of the pan when
you bake your cheesecake, otherwise...)
Good luck.
