Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan
Now you can make mini cheesecakes in your own home, thanks to the Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan. But even though it’s called a cheesecake pan, you can make other goodies in it, too, such as mini quiches, muffins, hors d’oeuvres, small tarts, and cupcakes.
Nonstick coating on the cups ensure that foods release easily from the cups, so that your cheesecakes and other baked treats will always come out perfectly shaped. Clean up is also easy, and the cheesecake pan is dishwasher safe.
Easy to Use
Making perfect mini cheesecakes can be tricky, because it’s difficult to scoop the tiny cakes out of the pan without making a mess. This is not a problem with the Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan. First of all, it has a nonstick finish. Second, the bottom of each cup has a removable base. To unmold the cheesecake, you simply have to push it up from the bottom of the pan, and out it comes. You’ll make perfectly molded cheesecakes every time that won’t fall apart when you take them out of the pan.
The pan has handles securely riveted on the sides to help keep you from lifting the pan from the bottom and possibly pushing the removable plates up and causing food to spill out.
Recipe Included
The Norpro Mini Cheesecake Pan comes with a cheesecake recipe that suits the pan perfectly. You may want to try this recipe when using the pan for the first time. Afterwards, you can experiment with your favorite cheesecake recipes. And don’t forget that this mini cheesecake pan is also great for quiches, tartlets, and muffins.
