PanSpanStainless Steel Springform Pan
Which stainless steel springform pan is the best choice for cheesecakes without a flaking nonstick coating?
For a straightforward switch away from coated bakeware, I’d choose the PETÍTS DESSERTS pan: it’s a 9-inch stainless steel pan with two reusable silicone liners to help with release. If you bake different-size cakes, the OYAOL set gives you 4-, 7- and 9-inch pans plus a silicone base protector. None of these springforms should be treated as reliably watertight just because a pan or accessory is called leakproof; I’ll explain the safer water-bath approach below.
#1 · PETÍTS DESSERTS
Springform Pan 9 Inch, Stainless Steel with 2 NON-STICK SILICONE LINERS | DISHWASHER SAFE and Non Toxic Materials, No Coating Peeling, REUSABLE LINERS - Skip the Parchment, Great For Cheesecakes
Choose this for a single 9-inch pan and reusable liners rather than a conventional nonstick coating. The two silicone liners give you a practical way to help release the cake and reduce reliance on greasing the sides. Its corrosion-resistant latch makes it the strongest match here if rust around the closure is your main concern.
#2 · OYAOL
OYAOL 4-7-9 Inch Stainless Steel Springform Cheesecake Pan Set of 3 | Food Grade, FDA Food Contact Safe, Dishwasher Safe, Removable Bottom, Comes with Parchment Paper & Silicone Base Protector
This is the set for a baker who wants different cake sizes for cheesecakes, tortes, quiches or savory bakes. It includes 4-, 7- and 9-inch pans, parchment paper and a reusable silicone base protector.
#3 · Hikolvol
Hikolvol Nonstick Springform Pan 9 Inch Spring Form Pan for Cheesecake | Leakproof Cheesecake Pan with Protector for Water Bath, Stainless Steel 9 Inch Springform Pan, Cheese Cake Pans for Baking
Pick this 9-inch pan if you want an explicitly uncoated stainless steel option packaged with a silicone protector and 50 parchment sheets. It’s also the clearest choice here for pressure-cooker use, with compatibility stated for 6- and 8-quart cookers.
#4 · E-Gtong
E-Gtong 9-Inch Springform Cake Pan, Removable Bottom, 304 Stainless Steel | Leakproof & Nonstick Cheesecake Pan, Easy Releasing, Dishwasher Safe, Non-Toxic Round Springform Cake Pan for Baking
This suits someone who wants a basic 9-inch 304 stainless steel pan and values the stated oven-safe limit of 500°F. Its removable base and spring latch handle the usual springform job, but use parchment or careful greasing for easier release.
#5 · ZeroPone
ZeroPone 9 Inch 304 Stainless Steel Springform Pan with Removable Bottom | Nonstick Round Spring Form Cheesecake Pan with 30 Pcs Parchment Paper Liners
Choose this if you want a 9-inch stainless steel pan with 30 parchment liners included. It covers the same core cheesecake and quiche jobs as the other single-pan options, with a textured removable base.
Do you want to avoid a nonstick coating entirely?
Start with the PETÍTS DESSERTS pan or the Hikolvol: both are described as having no coating, and each includes a release aid—reusable silicone liners with PETÍTS, parchment and a silicone protector with Hikolvol. If you prefer not to use disposable parchment, PETÍTS is the cleaner fit. Either way, grease the sides lightly and loosen the edge carefully; stainless steel won’t behave like a slick coated pan.
Would you actually use more than one pan size?
If you make small cheesecakes as well as full-size ones, take the OYAOL set: its 4-, 7- and 9-inch pans make it the most versatile choice here. The included protector and parchment are useful extras, but the set takes more cupboard space than a single pan. For mostly standard-size cheesecake, the PETÍTS or Hikolvol 9-inch pan is the simpler buy.
How can you reduce leaks in a water bath?
Don’t rely on the word “leakproof” as a promise that a springform seam is watertight. The OYAOL and Hikolvol silicone protectors add a barrier around the base, but for the most dependable water-bath setup, place the springform inside a larger solid cake pan, then put that pan in the water bath. A snug foil wrap around the springform is another layer of defense, but folds and pinholes can still let water through.
Will you use the pan in a pressure cooker?
Hikolvol is the pick I’d consider first because pressure-cooker compatibility for 6- and 8-quart cookers is stated for that pan. Always check the pan’s fit against your cooker’s usable interior and leave room for safe handling; cooker shape and clearance matter as much as the pan’s nominal diameter. Don’t assume a 9-inch pan fits just because another springform does.

Questions buyers ask
Is any stainless steel springform pan truly leakproof?
A springform has a removable base and a seam at the latch, so I wouldn’t treat it as watertight. Silicone protectors and careful wrapping can reduce leaks, but the most reliable water-bath method is to set the springform inside a larger solid cake pan before placing it in the water.
Springform pan or push pan for a water-bath cheesecake?
A springform opens at the side, which makes removing a delicate cheesecake easy, but that joint is also a potential path for leaks. A push pan has a solid base and can be a better choice when leak prevention is the priority, though you still need to release the cake carefully. Among these picks, use a silicone protector and a second solid pan as extra protection.
Can stainless steel springform pans go in the dishwasher?
All five pan bodies are dishwasher-safe, so there isn’t a dishwasher-only winner. Choose based on the sizes and release aids you want. For the latch and the narrow groove where the base meets the ring, rinse away batter promptly and dry the pan thoroughly after washing; hand-cleaning those areas can make it easier to catch residue.
Can a stainless steel springform pan rust around the latch?
Stainless steel resists rust, but food residue and lingering moisture in a latch or rim groove are still worth avoiding. Wash out crumbs and batter from the joint, then dry the pan fully before storing it rather than leaving it damp in a stack.
How do I stop cheesecake sticking to an uncoated pan?
Line the base with parchment, lightly grease the sides, and let the cheesecake cool before opening the latch. Run a thin, flexible knife around the edge first so the cake releases cleanly instead of tearing against the steel.
How do I clean the rim groove and latch?
Rinse the pan soon after baking, then work a soft brush or cloth around the latch and the channel where the base sits. Avoid forcing the latch while it is packed with dried batter, and dry the joint before putting the pan away.
Can I use a stainless steel springform pan in a pressure cooker?
Some springforms are intended for pressure-cooker use, including the Hikolvol option here, but fit is essential: the pan must sit inside the cooker with room for the lid and safe handling. A 7-inch pan is more likely to fit a 6-quart cooker than an 8-inch one, but fit varies by model; check the usable interior diameter and height rather than relying only on the pan’s listed diameter.
