Mainstays 6" Round Nonstick Carbon Steel Springform Cake Pan, Gray

I have a 9" spring form pan but sometimes I want to make a smaller dessert. This 6" pan is a perfect size for 4 - 6 people. I was excited to try it out right away so I decided to make an ice cream cake. First, I baked some puff pastry in it, which came out great. Once I put all the layers in I put it into the freezer to harden. The pictures show you the end result! It was a little harder to remove the surrounding edge simply because it came out of the freezer, but once off, the ice cream cake held its shape perfectly. I love the pan and its size, and highly recommend it. Next up, cheesecake!

I wanted to try my luck making a cheesecake and the recipe said I needed a 6" spring pan. Well, I never knew such a thing existed! Luckily for me, Walmart has these in stock. They are a good price and seeing as I doubt I'll be making cheesecake on a consistent basis, I didn't think I wanted to spend a lot on a pan. This pan worked fine and my first cheesecake came out pretty good. The pan released enough to get the cake out and was easy to reassemble and to clean.
