PSF-113 Anodized Aluminum Springform Pan, 11 x 3 Inch

Bought the 8x3 inch pan. I have half a dozen spring form pans. The Fat Daddio is the bomb. Heavy duty and very well made. Puts the others to shame. I’ve churned out 3 cheese cakes already and no issues. Some folks say it leaks. If so, they either placed the ring on upside down (it’s marked Top and Bottom) or they used too thin a batter. Spring form pans are not “water” tight. I really like the pan lip for moving/picking up the FD. It’s now a single hand operation. Another nice thing is you can tear a sheet of parchment paper off the roll, lay it down on the pan and place the ring right over it and it seals just fine. My other pans, I had to cut a round of parchment or it would tear when clamping the ring. If I had to list a con…it would be that the rivets heads on the inside of the ring (that attach the spring clip) are not flush and leave two dimples on the side of the cheese cake. I had to stretch for that con. Last, and nothing to do with the pan, it was shipped in a non-padded paper envelope. I expected damage to the pan when I opened the envelope but happily had none. Whomever is shipping these should rethink the packaging to avoid disappointed customers. If the rest of Fat Daddio’s products are made to the same heavy duty quality…I’ll be buying more in short order.

This springform pan's "top hat" design is so much better for the connection between the collar and the base because there's no risk of the base falling through like on my old pan. I've made several Biscoff cookie cheesecakes with this and they have all turned out splendidly. My cakes haven't gotten stuck to the collar, either, so that's been helpful. I learned my lesson with a previous springform pan and only clean this one by hand, but it's easy to clean and still looks new.

I bought this Fat Daddio’s 8x3 inch springform pan to make deep cheesecakes, and it works perfectly. The tall sides give me that professional bakery look, and the build quality is outstanding. ✅ Pros: – 3-inch depth is perfect for tall cheesecakes and specialty cakes – Anodized aluminum heats evenly for consistent baking – Springform latch is sturdy and releases cleanly – No warping or leaks during baking – Professional-grade quality that feels built to last ❌ Cons: – None so far—works exactly as intended 💡 Tips: – Line the bottom with parchment for easier cake removal – Use a water bath for cheesecakes to prevent cracking – Perfect for layered desserts, deep tortes, and ice cream cakes 🧠 Bottom Line: If you’re serious about making tall, beautiful cheesecakes, this Fat Daddio’s springform pan is the way to go. Solid, dependable, and bakes like a dream—highly recommended!

This is a very nice pan, works beautifully. Just an FYI, if you don't read the full product description, this pan has an approximately 1inch lip on the bottom, so if you are making cheesecake and use a water bath you will have to account for that extra inch on you bottom pan.

This is a very well made spring form pan. It’s sturdy without being heavy. I like that the pan has a raised center as it makes it a nice vessel for displaying your baked goods too!

Solid, well made pan.

A wonderful springform for Cheesecake but worst leaking of any. Just try putting it into a pan of water and see the water pour into the mold. So, following online suggestions for a bain-marie, I wrapped the pan in aluminum foil but it was not tight enough and some water came through. Finally, I settled on overkill: first putting the cake pan into a turkey bag and then covering the bag with a really tight aluminum foil wrap. It worked perfectly!

Wonderful product. Very useful.

No me equivoqué en mi elección, este Fat daddio anodizado de aluminio, es un molde pequeño para realizar creaciones domésticas para buenos pasteles y que garantiza buenos resultados, lo digo por que es un molde con buen material metálico, de aluminio anodizado y la traba de acero y bien ensamblado, además de su diseño ta bien pensado de su base , tiene excelentes refuerzos y hacen muy buena sujección de sus paredes, no tengo idea si tiene filtraciones por que me aseguro que eso no suceda ya que le coloco papel estrella en su base para reforzar el evitar tales fugas líquidas. Lo recomiendo como producto para merecer. 5 estrellas sin duda.

Great value for the price

Would have been perfect if it was leakproof. Not advertised as such but I was hoping it was.

The product is deformed when received and there is a gap when close tight. I am not sure whether can request for refund/ replace.... but the quality is solid.

I wanted a small springform pan to make a cheesecake to take to a friend's dinner for 4. I found a Daddio's springform on a website, but it was too large. Then I found this 6" one on Amazon. My cheesecake was the perfect size in this pan. It would have served 6 to 8 people. I read a few reviews of people claiming it is only good for a cheesecake, that cakes you bake run through the bottom. I tested my pan with water and sure enough the water ran through. So, I decided to bake a chocolate cake mix and try something. I prepared my mix, preheated my oven to 350F. Then I used a smaller 1" long X 1/2" wide spatula and picked up a small amount of cake mix on it, which I then spread along the seams of the pan. I did it all around the pan seams. Then I put my cake pan in the oven for 2 minutes. I removed the cake pan, did not wait for it to cool, and I poured the remainder (98%) of my cake mix into the springform pan. I put the pan in the oven. The cake mix did not leak out and a perfect cake was baked. See pictures. :-) The first 2 pictures is showing the pan upside down. It shows where the cake mix seeped down a bit, but cooked in the oven, thus creating the seal I wanted. You can see the bottom of the pan, and where the cake mix seeped down the sides and baked on quickly to seal. A perfect small cake was baked! I only poured half the cake mix in the pan, the remainder made 8 muffins. Updating my review today (same day) as I noticed after one wash, rust has formed around one of the fasteners, if that's the correct term. See picture.
