ZeroPone 9 Inch 304 Stainless Steel Springform Pan with Removable Bottom, Nonstick Round Spring Form Cheesecake Pan with 30 Pcs Parchment Paper Liners
Is the ZeroPone 9-inch springform pan a good choice for cheesecake without a messy leak or torn edges?
For occasional cheesecakes and other desserts that are hard to lift from a fixed pan, the ZeroPone gives you a removable base, spring latch and 30 parchment liners in one set. I’d choose it if the included liners and straightforward stainless-steel design suit your baking routine. But don’t count on any springform to be truly leakproof: buttery crusts and water baths need a little planning. Here’s how I’d handle that, and when I’d pick one of the alternatives instead.

Will it stop melted butter or batter from leaking into the oven?
No springform is a safe bet for holding every thin liquid at the seam, even when a pan is marketed as leakproof. For a graham cracker crust, press it firmly into the base, chill or prebake it, and set the pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch butter that escapes. For thin quiche batter, use a solid-bottom pan if you have one; a springform is better suited to thicker mixtures. That sheet-pan backup is the simple fix I’d use before risking a smoky oven.
How do you keep a water bath from seeping into a cheesecake?
A springform’s base-and-side seam is the weak point in a water bath. If you use one, wrap the outside securely with heavy-duty foil and keep the water below the foil’s top edge, but treat that as risk reduction, not a guarantee. For a less stressful bake, put a pan of hot water on a lower rack to add moisture without standing the springform in water. If water-bath baking is a regular part of your cheesecake routine, the E-Gtong is the on-page alternative specifically promoted for leak resistance—but I’d still protect it.
Is stainless steel a better choice than dark nonstick?
Choose the silver stainless-steel finish if you want to avoid relying on a dark nonstick surface and prefer a pan you can line with parchment. Lighter-colored pans generally brown less aggressively than dark pans, which can help with delicate cheesecake edges, though oven behavior and recipes still matter. The ZeroPone is sold as nonstick, so don’t assume it is a coating-free pan. If avoiding a coating altogether is your priority, the PETÍTS DESSERTS option pairs its stainless pan with reusable silicone liners and specifies a no-coating design.
How do you get a clean release without tearing the cheesecake?
Use one of the supplied parchment liners on the base, let the cake cool fully, then release the latch and lift the ring straight up rather than twisting it against the sides. If the edge is sticking, run a thin knife gently around the inside before opening the latch. A springform makes it easier to unmold a tall cake neatly, but careful cooling and a gentle release still do the work.
What else can you bake in it, and how should you clean it?
The 9-inch size is useful for quiche, mousse cakes, pies and deep-dish pizza as well as cheesecake; it can handle a regular cake too, provided the recipe fits the pan. The pan is dishwasher-safe, but I’d hand-wash around the hinge and dry that area thoroughly so water doesn’t sit in the mechanism. Use soft tools rather than anything abrasive to help avoid scratching the surface.
How they compare
A 9-inch stainless springform with a removable base and 30 parchment liners—an easy all-in-one choice for occasional cheesecake baking.
A 9-inch springform specifically promoted for leak resistance, with a reinforced removable base for cheesecake and water-bath recipes.
A stainless springform with two reusable silicone liners for bakers who want to skip disposable parchment and avoid a coating that can peel.
Who it suits
This set is for the home baker replacing a worn pan or adding a dedicated 9-inch springform for holiday cheesecakes, icebox cakes and occasional quiche. The removable base, spring latch and 30 included parchment liners make it an easy, practical starting point.
What you give up
- It is not a guarantee against leaks. Use a rimmed baking sheet for buttery crusts, and take extra precautions or skip the standing water bath.
- The nonstick wording does not make this the clear choice for someone who wants a pan with no coating at all; PETÍTS DESSERTS is the more direct fit for that preference.
- The supplied parchment is handy, but it is disposable. If you want reusable liners, the PETÍTS DESSERTS set includes two silicone ones.
When another one is the better buy
E-Gtong 9 Inch Springform Cake Pan, 304 Stainless Steel, Leakproof Nonstick Cheesecake Pan with Removable Bottom: Choose the E-Gtong if reducing leaks is your main concern: it is specifically presented as leakproof and suitable for water-bath baking. I’d still use a sheet pan or foil protection, because a springform seam should never be treated as infallible.
PETÍTS DESSERTS STAINLESS STEEL Springform Pan 9 Inch with 2 REUSABLE NON-STICK Liners NON-TOXIC for Cheesecake: Choose PETÍTS DESSERTS if you want reusable liners and a pan that is specifically described as having no coating to peel. Its two silicone liners replace the ZeroPone’s stack of disposable parchment rounds.

Questions buyers ask
Do leakproof springform pans actually work?
A pan marketed as leakproof can still seep at the seam, especially with water or thin batter. Check it over a sink before relying on it for a water bath.
How do I stop a graham cracker crust from leaking butter?
Use only enough melted butter to bind the crumbs; if the mixture looks greasy, mix in more crumbs before baking. That reduces the excess butter that can escape through the seam.
How do I line a springform pan with parchment?
Set a parchment liner over the removable base, then close the ring around it to hold the paper in place. A base liner won’t prevent sticking around the sides, so loosen the edge separately if needed.
Can water seep into a springform pan during a water bath?
Yes—the base-to-side seam can let water in. If using foil, check it for tears before wrapping; a damaged wrap can defeat the barrier.
Does stainless steel tear cheesecake edges?
No; the material itself doesn’t have to tear the edge. Sticking or rough unmolding is more likely to cause tears.
Can I bake regular cake, quiche or deep-dish pizza in a springform pan?
Yes, springform pans can take those recipes. Thin quiche mixtures are the risky case because they can escape through the seam; a thicker filling is safer.
How do I keep a springform pan hinge from rusting?
Dry the hinge with the latch open so moisture doesn’t remain in its crevices. If rust has already pitted or flaked the hinge, replace the pan rather than relying on it.
