De-plating cheesecake

Doug said:

Anyone have any secrets for getting a cheesecake off the metal bottom of
the spring form pan and onto a nice plate?

Thanks,
Doug

I've never seen it done in a homemade cheesecake. I usually see the
metal bottom set into a plate with a rim that helps to hide the bottm
for serving.

I just don't do it. I leave the bottom of the pan under the cake
and plate it along with the dessert. I've had too many accidents
to try getting it over that ridge on the bottom of the springform
pan in one piece. If you put something between the pan bottom and
the plate, like a paper doily, it looks nice and won't slide around
as much:

Maybe I am backwards, but I keep my ridge pointing down. Don't tell me
I have been doing it wrong all these years! lol

Alternatively, you could leave me alone with the cheesecake for a few
minutes and you wouldn't have to worry about moving it onto a nice
plate ...

Yes - make sure your plate is large enough that it will hold the metal
pan base, and just sit the whole thing on top of the plate! There's a
reason they make the sides removable :P

Lay down a disk of parchment paper then make the crust on top of that.

I've tried parchment, two long wide spatulas, finally I bought a nice
plate with a well the right size to accommodate the metal bottom of my
spring form pan. Neither family, friends, nor business associates
ever complain about seeing the unsightly metal bottom of the spring
form pan when being served real cheesecake.

No, that's right. The ridge locks into the groove in the bottom of the
side of the springform pan. At least mine does!

I wrap the whole bottom in parchment and fold the extra under the rim
after snapping on the sides. Then when I open up the springform pan I
have a nice bit of paper to lift up the cheesecake and can even peel the
paper away and place it on a plate. Most of the time I either make one
for others or don't want to leave my pan at someone's place so I need
the cheesecake out of the whole pan. And if I am making a cheesecake for
resale I don't use a springform. I use a solid regular but deep cake
pan. Then I invert it on a cake round and put it on another cake round.

If you flip the bottom of mine over and bake on it, the oils will
seep into the rolled metal edge. I'm probably not explaining this
very well, sorry... :-)
