I baked a cheesecake yesterday in my IP, way too yummy!!! ...but back to the Springform pan... always wrap foil underneath the pan and up the sides in any springform pan, no matter what brand. Cheesecake in the conventional oven is best cooked in a water bath, so you should always make it water tight with heavy duty foil. For the IP, same thing, rap the outsides and bottom outside of the springform pan good and tight or you will not like the moisture than seeps into the bottom of your precious Cheesecake. It you want the top less wet, I’d suggest you seal the top well with foil, too but a little loosely just in case the cheesecake rises. I didn’t wrap the top yesterday and my cheesecake was a bit creamier than I’d prefer, but still definitely a great cheesecake recipe from the Rootitoot cookbook Volume 1.I have three springform pans now, and this one is every bit as nice as the Pampered Chef one that doesn’t fit in my IP. This one being an Instant Pot pan doesn’t negate your warranty, either. Stick with IP accessories unless you want to void your warranty.This pan doesn’t leak. Don’t test it with water, as you won’t be baking water in the pan, and it’s not meant to hold water, it’s meant to hold CAKE. Please test it with a cheesecake, wrapping the outside the pan as I strongly suggested with foil. If it leaks the first time, the foil will catch the product. Then you call Amazon and tell them it leaks. OR you’ll be amazed that it function as a Springform pan is supposed to... with a tasty cheesecake.Update: I also bought the 7 inch fluted pan. Used it today for the first time. My cake exited like a dream, see pic. Excellent buy with Instant Pot pans. Please as punch.
