If you do decide to use a dark-colored springform pan, you will need to get in the habit of knocking a few minutes off the recommended baking time to avoid burning or browning your baked goods. You can find springform pans at your local baking supply store or online.
Some stores sell springform pans in sets of three, ranging from 8 inches (20 cm) to 12 inches (30 cm) pans.
You should hear a snapping sound when the spring locks. Only buy a springform pan that has a working lock.
Hold up the pan to make sure the two pieces are locked together, as you do not want them to come apart during baking. Turn the bottom of the pan so the concave indentation is facing down. [5] X Expert Source JoAnna MinneciProfessional Chef Expert Interview. 23 December 2021.
If any water leaks, wrap the pan with two layers of tin foil. This will ensure your cake or tart does not leak out during baking. If no water leaks, you have a leak-free springform pan. You can use it without wrapping it in tinfoil first. It’s usually a good idea to put your springform pan onto a sheet pan just in case there are any leaks during baking.

You can also prepare savory items like stuffed pizza, quiche, or dips in the springform pan.
You can also lift the band off the pan in a downward motion, placing it on the table or countertop.
