Springform Pan: Benefits of the Inserted Tube or Bundt Pan

[amya]

I bought the Springform Pan last April during Kit Enhancement and I love it. But I have never used the insert that comes with it. It looks like it would turn it into a tube pan or a Bundt pan. Do you all use the insert?

I've never used my springform pan let alone any of the inserts...but would love ideas for the pan itself and for the inserts!!

I've never used the insert either! But cheesecakes always come out wonderful in this pan. I just made the New York Style Cheesecake out of the desserts book the other day. We're having it tonight since I got sick the day we were supposed to have it! THe Banana Cream Supreme also works great in this pan.
I usually put the finished cake (that's on the glass bottom) onto another bigger platter; otherwise I've found it's a little messy once you cut it.

I haven't used the insert myself yet but found a recipe in the attached booklet that was posted on here that uses it. Check it out.

Hi there! I'm glad to hear that you have been enjoying your Springform Pan from last April's Kit Enhancement. As for the insert, it is completely up to personal preference whether or not to use it. Some customers find it useful for creating different shapes and styles of cakes, while others prefer to just use the pan as is. If you ever feel like experimenting with the insert, I recommend checking out some of our recipes and tutorials for inspiration. Happy cooking!
