How to remove cheesecake from the baking pan?

Question

I am unable to find a spring form pan for the particular size of cheesecake I'm going to make. Thus would like to know if anyone can advise me how to remove the cheesecake from a normal pan without inverting it over and ruining the cake. Would the patchment paper tear if I lift the cake out the pan?

Thanks!

If I add foil as per what shoujomaniac suggested, will the cake get cooked?

Answer 1

line the pan w/ heavy-duty foil, and then with parchment. When you're lifting it out, lift it by the foil.

Springform pans aren't that expensive... Walmart sells a 3-pack of 8, 9, and 10-inch pans for around $13. It's worth the expense.

Answer 2

leave the cake to cool after baking for about 30 min. The cake will shrink a little upon cooling. Baking paper are good too.

So the best way is when u place the paper in the tray before baking, leave some extra lenght hanging over 2 sides. So when the cake is cooled, you just run a knife along the sides and carefully lift the (extra lenght) paper from the 2 sides along with the cake.

Answer 3

I would be afraid that the cheesecakes would not hold an edge upon removal. The cream cheese mixture stays fairly soft and might result in gooey edges when removed. I think I have made the recipe to which you are referring. I use regular cupcake liners I find at the supermarket (nothing special). You can even bake them without using a cupcake tin, just place the cupcake liners on a cookie sheet.

Answer 4

Get on of those 2 piece pans, that have a loose bottom.

When cooked place on a upturned bowl or pot.

DON'T try to do it with your hands as if it slips you will receive a nasty burn on the inside of your arm. ( i learned that the hot way)

You can use them for pies, quiche cakes etc, any thing that won't leak out the bottom.

Answer 5

Personally, I leave it in the pan because I spend about 5 hours on it (including inactive time) and I wouldn't want to risk messing it up. :l

Answer 6

coat the pan with butter before putting the paper
dont put to many coats of paper or it wont cook

Answer 7

Parchment Paper would work - just criss-cross the pieces of paper to give extra 'lifting strength'.

Answer 8

I bake all the time. It is best to leave it in the pan.

Answer 9

my family eats my cheesecake off the pan, if you would want to have it presentable as in starbucks or bakerie chill it first

Answer 10

Dip the pan in ice water and scrape the edges with a pastry knife
