Wilton 4-Inch Mini Springform Pans for Mini Cheesecakes, Pizzas and Quiches, 3-Piece Set, Steel

UPDATE after multiple usage:I've used the pans for cakes and biscuits and cookies so far.The little circle at the bottom is nice for cooking exactly 1 cookie... which is something I actually do from time to time lol but my absolute favorite daily usage of this pan is biscuits!! If you want a large 1 serving biscuit (4 inches as you know...) just plop the dough in here a bit more than half full...about 2/3s really, and it will rise to about 1 cm over the rim. Of course the rising will vary by recipe, I only make simple cream+selfrising flour biscuits. Anyway..these are divine! they are the perfect size for making a big ol breakfast biscuit sandwich, or you can cut a bowl out of it and fill with chicken noodle soup or whatever savory dish you like with biscuits. I just like single serving items since my family doesn't enjoy biscuits the way I do so I fill all 3 of these with dough... then freeze... then bake the entire thing pan+dough!They are not super strong though... one of mine is a little bent after traveling in a tote bag with no support, still works for me, but if you're making something that uses runny batter like regular cake I'm not so sure this is a long term solution, more like 1-5 uses ...then maybe 5 more with some fixes (wrap with foil, line with cookie sheet, etc)Used 1 time so far... for a basic vanilla cake. My kid wanted a blue birthday cake and I really didn't want to food color a huge cake ...so just did a tiny one. I know it varies by recipe but I filled about halfway and it came just over the rim which was lovely.I let them cool for 15 mins then released the clasp and they didn't stick. I also oiled the pans with vegetable oil. Cleaning these will require a bit of soaking or creativity to get the tiny crevices.

The Wilton Mini Springform Pans are nice to have. They are made well and easy to clean. The size allows one to do a little more when making things to a smaller size or to a more personalize quantity size. If your batter is too thin and liquidity, it may leak a little during baking. You can apply or line sometime to help minimize or eliminate the leaking, but you have to be careful that you are not adding something that make cause what you are baking to burn or affect the batter or how it will turn out.I recommend them, but how you use them with what you are making will determine how well they will come out. The Wilton brand products have always been good for me. These are not perfect for every use, but very good to great for many uses. These are not very expensive, and don't expect it to be perfect for every kind of baking. But, it can be perfect for what you are making specifically. These are springform pans. If you do not need springform pans, get pans that are not springform. I've found these to work well.

These pans are adorable! They are perfect for mini cheesecakes! I always make a cheesecake to “bring” and a baby one to leave for the cat sitter. Now with the three pans, she gets one, the host or hostess gets a wee one for after, and I have one to come home to! What impressed me most was the solid feel of these. That said they held the heat perfectly. I baked them at the same time as the large cheesecake and I was so pleased when they came out perfectly and without a crack. I did put them in a seperate bain marie, and placed them on the rack below the large one. These little gems also held there seal perfectly. Very impressive!

These look, feel and work great. I gave 4 stars because after a couple of uses, the wall ring starts to lose it's shape. It became oval. It caused an extra few seconds to get the ring to close properly onto the bottom. This did create less of a seal, but not terrible.I only bake cheesecake with a full crust (bottom and side) so leakage wasn't a concern. I did make a bottom only crust and that is where I experienced just a little leakage of the custard.

I'm actually excited to write this review! I've tried over the past year to get a good springform pan, the mini sized ones, and I've had no luck. I bought them four times over the past year, and one set was peeling and rusting after one use, two sets went missing in the mail and had to be refunded, but this one is absolutely perfect. Granted, it does allow water and when I use it for a water bath for my first set of cheesecakes, but the fact is, every springform pan has leaking of some kind. The second time around when I made the cheese cakes that are present in the picture, they also have raspberry sauce baked into the top of them, I just baked it at 325 degrees with no water bath and had no leaking. They came out perfect and tastes amazing. These cost more than the cheap pans you'll get from China, but they are absolutely worth it and they are definitely nonstick. A little hot water will easily wash off anything you cook on to them. I'm just so impressed that the cheesecakes turned out so well, especially since they are hard to bake without burning or cracking or having other issues. I'm absolutely buying some more in the future. Thanks Wilton!

PROS - Quality Latch. Easy to clean.Used in oven with no issues.CONS - Not 100% nonstick surface.CONCLUSION - I've tried other brands and the area that these really succeed over their compitors is in the quality of the latch. This was is sturdy enough to last repeated uses or at least to the point where you'll feel you got your monies worth.If you found this review helpful please click the link below. Thank you.

Used these to make a cheesecake trio while family was in town. They were easy to clean, cheesecakes baked perfectly and came right out with no issues!

Overall very happy with my purchase and everyone seems to love these little cheesecakes! Definitely wrap around the base maybe even twice just to make sure no water gets into the cheesecake. Haven’t had any issues yet and hopefully that won’t change! lol
