Hey guys! I just baked a snickers cheesecake and I planned to make a pumpkin cheesecake just afterwards but then thought DOH how am I going to get the current cheesecake off the bottom peice of the springform to cook cheesecake #2?? It's the wilton 9" and I prebaked the graham cracker crust, do you think it will slide off because its nonstick or do you think I'm going to have to wait til this thing is eaten before I get my springform back? lol 
You're going to have to hard chill the cheesecake to get it off of the bottom springform insert.
Of course, first you're going to have to let it do the long, slow cool to room temp before putting it in the 'fridge. It's gonna be awhile before you can bake cheesecake #2.
You can always bake the 2nd in a regular cake pan, lined with buttered parchment. I never use springform pans for cheesecake. 
CakePro,
This may sound silly but how do you get the cheesecake out of a regular cake pan. Is the parchment paper hanging over the sides and you just lift it out? I really would like to give this a try. Also do you have to adjust your times for baking? Thanks so much...
I use Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe for cheesecake (she's the author of The Cake Bible), and do not adjust baking time or temperature.
I use either an 8" or 10" round, 3" deep cake pan, butter the bottom and sides, put down a parchment circle on the bottom and parchment collar around the sides (not higher than the cake pan), and butter the parchment.
I then blind bake the crust, let cool, and bake the cheesecake in a water bath. With Rose's recipe, the instructions are to bake the cheesecake for the amount of time, then turn the oven off without opening the door, then allow the cheesecake to cool for several hours in the oven, then remove it from the cool oven and put it in the fridge.
Once it's chilled, I float the pan in hot water in the sink for a few seconds to loosen it from the sides of the pan. Then I place a piece of parchment on the top of the cheesecake and quickly flip it out, upside down onto a cake board, peel the bottom piece of parchment off the crust, and re-invert it onto the serving plate. It sounds like a pain, but it's done in a few seconds.
