I cannot seem to put enough layers of aluminum to keep water from leaking into my cheesecakes. This is a great solution.

I make cheesecake for a restaurant and was looking for a way to bake it in a water bath without possible leaking of the spring form pan. I was diligent about wrapping it in foil that had no tears in addition to the Turkey roasting bag. I had seen on YouTube that some bakers used a larger round pan inside of a even larger pan. I looked high and low for pans that would accommodate my 10" cheesecake but was unsuccessful! Then I was reading a blog while trying a new banana cheesecake recipe and she mentioned the moat. This weekend was my first attempt of using it and all I can say is thank GOD for this pan! Sold out of cheesecake as usual and my customers are still telling me that my cheesecake is the best they have ever had!

On a second note, I was informed by a friend that when I'm gone and my family inherits my belongings, no one will know what this pan is for. So to prevent it from becoming someone's nut and bolt catchall, I am engraving the bottom.

This is magic for cheesecake! I love making cheesecakes but it is always a gamble of how many cracks I will have. The first time I used this, I only had one crack the size of a paper cut! This made a perfect cheesecake, I'm so happy I took a chance and purchased!!!

I have made lots of cheesecakes over the years. Most of the time they cracked. But I tried the Cheesecake Moat and got a virtually crack-free cheesecake. (There was a tiny crack in the middle, but nothing like the crevasses I often get.) I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to bake cheesecakes. I really like the fact that you do not have to wrap the cheesecake pan in foil and there is absolutely no chance of water getting into your pan and spoiling your cheesecake.

I make delicious cheesecakes quite often, and never knew a pan like this existed! (There was a link to it in a recipe I was reading!) I immediately ordered it, and I have been more than satisfied with the results!! Gone are the days of double wrapping the pan in heavy duty foil and trying to find a large enough water pan to hold my 9" and 10" cheesecake pans! I now use this cheesecake moat, simply put the pan inside, add enough water per the instructions, and my cheesecakes bake perfect, without a single crack on top!! (Using a water bath is the secret to your cheesecakes not cracking!) The price is reasonable, and I highly suggest having one if you often bake cheesecakes (or even if you bake them only occasionally!)
