ekovana Stainless Steel Cheesecake Lasagna Pan removable bottom 7x3 inches RND-CKP-73

I bought one of these cake tins a couple of years ago and have been very happy with the quality and design. When I ordered this second tin - same make, same size - it came unbranded and in an unsealed box. Why should it be missing the Ekovana logo?

I love this pan, it is so easy to use with my instant pot. I have only made apple cake it in so far, and have not had any problems with batter leaking (though admittedly the apple cake batter is pretty thick to begin with).Clean up is simple, and I love that it is stainless steel and safer than those yucky non-stick pans which end up shedding their coating after a time.

So far I've made three cheesecakes using the Ekovana pan. I love it! I love making cheesecake in the Instant Pot. It is so much easier than the traditional method and the cakes come out delicious.This pan works great. It does not leak, and requires no additional steps (such as covering the bottom in foil) in order to prevent leakage. Because of the handle, there is no need to build your own sling to use in the Instant Pot to get the pan in and out of the pot. That handle is very handy.After the second use, however, I decided to start covering the bottom piece with a round of parchment paper in order to lessen the scratching of the bottom plate when cutting into the cake. The shiny stainless steel does scratch rather easily, as all stainless steel scratches, so you have to be gentle in handling this pan. And, bottom line, you can't stress over a few scratches here and there that may and likely will happen regardless of how careful you are. The pan itself is sturdy. Some here have said the stainless steel is thin but I don't agree with that. I think it is of standard thickness and durability. There is no reason this pan will not last for years of use with basic proper care.I am very pleased with this cheesecake pan and am even considering buying another one so that I can make two cheesecakes at the same time.

EDIT: just wanted all to know nothing has rusted on this 7" pan. No dark spots anywhere. Have made only 3 Cheesecakes in my Evokana Pan in my Instant Pot and all three were very successful. I only Handwash and dry it too. Sure I could poke it in the dishwasher, but I am not sure with some of the poor/mediocre reviews I would take that chance. I don't think the Dishwasher is always the best way to clean my kitchen tools. Oh using liners in the bottom work to hold the stuff where it should be. However, I doubt that even that will hold eggs from escaping. Even my old Springform pans would leak.I am so so so Happy I ordered this pan. Not only is it well built, with a handle, it is beautiful. As we all know, that can change with use but WOW it is really nice. Order came in two days, so Thank You Amazon, and Your Great Amazon Delivery Drivers. I got that pan, admired it for awhile, then made my First Instant Pot Cheesecake. Using the Cheesecake Recipe for my 8 qt Ultra from the Recipe that came with the Pan. I think the 8 qt Ultra can easily take the 8" Pan with no worries. Just have to adjust the cooking time for the difference in the amount of Cheesecake used. The recipe that comes with this pan says to 1 1/2 times the Recipe for the bigger pan. Cheesecake is chilling, and we take that to friend's for dessert tonight. No tasting til then. It looks good, it puffed up like it should, and laid back down after it cooled. I am New to the IPot. But have made many many Cheesecakes. So excited to have this New Beautiful Pan to make them smaller for the 3 of us, as I always made 10" Cheesecakes that lasted forever, or the last of them got tossed down the food hole in the sink. Love the small size. I was on the fence about spending this amount on this pan, but I don't want to deal with Cheap and Rusting Pans after using them a couple times. I already have lots of those. So I went for this SS...and it is seemingly a very good quality. Glad I took the leap of faith. I also found the liners with tabs on Amazon. Very easy to use, and had no trouble with the tabs not staying put. First, I used the removable bottom to shape the paper as I bought the paper in 9" size on purpose. Then I used coconut oil on the pan to hold the paper in place. Added my crust, formed that, then chilled in freezer for 20 minutes, poured in the batter, and baked it. TADA done.

Came in good time - no delays in shipping. Very well made and of quality material. The first thing I used this for was to make lasagna in my 6 qt IP. Fits in perfectly and I have a trivet with handles that it fits into nicely - so taking out was no problem. Washes up easily! Highly recommend - very happy with this
