9-inch springform pan

The side unlatches and lifts off, so a delicate cheesecake comes out whole.

What it is and why it matters

A springform pan has a flat base and a separate ring that clamps around it. When the cake is set, you open the latch and lift the ring away instead of turning the cake upside down. That is what makes it the pan for cheesecakes, tortes and tall layered desserts that would break if flipped out.
