Stoneware Cheesecake Recipe: No Springform Pan Required!

[chefshawna]

I am making a cheesecake for a family get together later today and don't have the Springform pan. I hate to run out and buy one from the store, so could I use the deep dish baker?? I thought maybe line it with parchment paper and then I could get it out easy?? What do you all think?

Shawnna, I dont see why it wouldnt work. I would try it. Let us know how it turns out.

my hubby (our cheesecake person) says not to do it. The reason (he says) you use a springform pan is so that you can remove the pan from the cheesecake not the cake from the pan. In other words the cheesecake doesn't fall out of the pans and you would have to dig it out thus ruining the pretty look.

What if you had the graham cracker crust go all the way up? It is so buttery it might help it "slip out" easier?? Plus parchment paper of course.

Well, I went ahead and bought a Wilton springform pan set:yuck::cry::grumpy: and used that, but I was going to line the stoneware in parchment paper so that I could just lift it out. Do you think if that was done that the stoneware would cook it properly? I plan on getting the PC pan soon!!!!

I make cheesecakes and sell them to people all the time. I have never used a stoneware pan. Which one are you planning on using?
The cheesecake will rise considerably and then fall back down when it is out cooling. So this might not work, I don't know which stoneware is very tall on the sides. Also I typically freeze my cheesecakes in order to get them out of the pan and take the bottom part off the graham cracker crust. I just put it over a low flame and it comes right off. Then I can box my cheesecakes and hours later when it's served it is delicious!!

I've made lots of cheesecakes through the years. Trust me. You don't want to try making it in stoneware. Your recipe says to use a springform pan for a reason. For some things there are substitutes--springform pans aren't one of them.
