I don't know where you acquired the title "cheesecake pan", for these items, but it's no problem.. I have enjoyed using these pans specifically because of the "push-up bottoms".. This is easier to work vwith than a regular 9 x 13 oblong.. I prefer to cook with cast aluminum--no concerns about chipped coating in the finished products. No concerns with a "tinny aftertaste" in some of my baked products.. I love all of my push-bottom pans, and I'm completely satisfied with the purchase.. I do, and will continue to suggest that cooks get rid of those P.I.T.A. springform form pans and get the best, for what I consider to be the "best results" in baking..

No more metal taste in my cheesecakes, bakes evenly, easy to remove and it'll last forever (no rusting). Awesome, I love it!!!!!!

Quality

I ordered the 9" and the 10" pans and received both quickly. Also, both pans were of professional quality and work great. I would highly recommend to anyone who is serious about making cheesecakes. I have used springform pans in the past, but these pans bakes more evenly and the release after baking was great.

Having recently gotten a cookbook of nothing but cheesecake recipes, I really needed to purchase another springform pan. I got this instead and REALLY enjoy using it. My cheesecakes have less cracking with this pan than my springform and they seem to be lighter and fluffier. The price was a good value as well. I would highly recommend this product to others.

Great pan

This pan evenly heats cheesecakes so the tops are flat and just browned on the edges. I've used a few different styles and materials over the years and this one works the best.
