Quality all the way around this pan
I reviewed the 10" now the 9". The bottom rim does make water bath usage a little problematic if you are used to wrapping the pan with foil. I purchased a 14x3 round to handle the 10 and smaller pans. I still wrap with foil but use the wider heavy duty foil. I'm sold on a water bath for the recipe I use a more creamy textured cheesecake. No cracks though. This pan is nice and it has a lemon wafer crust baked in it right now for a 9" lemon curd cheesecake. The quality of this brand is great and I have numerous sizes of round x 3" but only the 9" and 10" springform. I find no fault with them. Please hand wash though. Caustic dishwasher soap will discolor aluminum pans.
