Ok, I ruined my first cheesecake order. Good thing the customer understoood. She said I could bring it Monday.
When I tried to remove the springform plate from the bottom of the cheesecake it broke apart. I even tried using wax paper underneath for easy removal and that still didn't work.
Can anyone help me? I believe I posted about this a while back but I don't remember getting any help besides using wax or parchment paper in the springform pan.
How do I successfully transfer my cheesecake from the springform pan without any damage? Should I spray the wax paper with baking spray? What to do?
Try sending a pm to knoxcop1. She is my resident cheesecake expert. I think there is also a member cheftaz (I think that's the name-they also do some awesome pumpkin carvings that they just posted too so you should be able to find them) that also does some great cheesecakes.
Do you have a crust on the sides as well as the bottom? I do when I make mine, and I just put parchment in the bottom and make sure that it is very cool before I attempt to remove the side of the pan. No problems there, just a problem of the top cracking 
HTH!!
When I do cheesecakes, I put a cake board in the bottom of the spring form pan. Then spray the entire inside of the pan (and board) with Pam and then add the crust (some have just a crust on the bottom and some on the bottom and sides, works either way for me). After I remove the cheesecake from the oven, I let it cool an hour or so, then run a sharp knife around the insides to loosen. After that, I can successfully remove the sides of the pan. HTH!
I grease the bottom and sides of the pan then lay in the parchment paper which I cut a little bigger than the pan on the bottom attach the top part of the pan, grease the paper and top part of the pan. After the cheesecake has baked I let it cool in the fridge for a day or so (I am guessing you could put it in the freezer for a while as well) Once it is good and cold run a plastic knife around the sides and remove the top part of the pan and slide the cheesecake onto the cake board. If your cheese cake it frozen I am guessing you could probably peel off the paper at the point without damage to the cheesecake. Hope it helps.
we just made cheesecake in class last week, and my chef said he hates using springform pans because he likes to put it in a waterbath, or fill the sheet pan he is using with water to surround the pan. He doesnt like to worry about water getting into the springform..
He uses a cake pan or silicone, in the silicone it just pops right out, and in the cake pan he said to butter the pan and use granulated sugar to coat it instead of the usual flour.
HTH.
I put a cake board in the bottom of the spring form pan.
Thanks for that tip. I had never figured out how to safely remove the bottom of the pan. Felt like an idiot serving a beautiful cheesecake on serving platter with the baking tin underneath it.
Hi...i line the bottom and sides with parchment. when it has cooled in the refrigerator for a while...i remove the sides of the pan...flip the cake onto a prepared board and remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment then i flip it over. works everytime. chill it well first.
I use a springform pan, with the cake board in the bottom. I grease the sides of the pan - and I make sure the "crust" goes a ways up the side of the cheesecake too.
I also use a waterbath - wrap the outside of the springform pan twice with heavy duty foil then set it on a large baking sheet pan with sides, then add the water.
they come out of the pan perfectly every time, and there is no "pan" for when you serve it.
Thanks so much for the tips guys. I'm off to try it again.
