Product Information
Full details
The VFM e-Store Spring Form Cake Tin is an essential tool for home bakers of all skill levels who prioritize convenience and professional-looking results. Its core benefit lies in the intuitive spring-loaded clasp and removable base, which allow for the easy release of delicate sponges and cheesecakes without damaging their edges; however, users must be mindful to use only non-metallic utensils to preserve the integrity of the non-stick coating over time.

FAQs
Is this cake tin dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash this tin to protect the non-stick coating and the spring mechanism.
Can I use metal spatulas with this tin?
No, you must use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick surface.
What is the diameter of the tin?
The tin is 24cm in diameter, which is a standard size for most round cake recipes.
Do I need to line the tin with parchment paper?
While the non-stick coating is effective, lining the base with parchment paper is highly recommended for delicate cakes to ensure a perfect release.
Can this tin be used for cheesecakes?
Yes, it is ideal for cheesecakes as the spring form design allows you to remove the cake without needing to flip it upside down.
Is the base leakproof?
The design is meant to be tight-fitting, but for very thin liquid batters, we recommend using parchment paper or foil to ensure no leakage.
Troubleshooting
Batter leaking from the bottom during baking
Ensure the base is inserted with the lip facing upward and the spring clasp is fully engaged. For very thin batters, wrap the exterior bottom of the tin in aluminum foil.
Cake sticking to the sides
Ensure the tin was properly greased before use and verify that no metallic utensils were used, which could have compromised the non-stick layer.
Clasp feels stiff
Check for any dried sugar or batter residue around the hinge mechanism; clean with a damp cloth and ensure it is fully dry before lubricating lightly if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, wash the tin in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Always ensure the spring-loaded clasp is firmly locked in the 'closed' position before adding batter to avoid leaks. Because of the non-stick coating, do not use sharp knives, metal whisks, or metal spatulas directly on the surface, as these will scratch the finish and cause food to stick. To clean, use a soft sponge or cloth with mild detergent; avoid scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. The tin is intended for oven use only and should not be used on stovetops or in microwaves.
