How do you bake a quiche without it leaking out the bottom?

I always cut out a piece of parchment paper slightly bigger than the removable bottom. It allows the paper to go up slightly around the inner edges of the pan and prevents leaking. When you remove the bottom piece, just peel off the parchment paper.

With the right crust you should be fine. However, I always have a little liquid that leaks out when using this pan so I always put it on a baking sheet to make clean up easier. Hope that helps :)

To get a crisp crust, you need to use a baking stone or a special baguette pan. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees for at least half an hour. Just before putting the bread in the oven, slash with a sharp knife or razor, lightly spray with water and pop it in. After ten minutes, reduce the heat to 400 and turn the bread front to back. Bake another 15-20 minutes. A slim baguette can be done at this point, a fatter one will take longer. When the bread looks toasty brown, take the temperature of the bread with an instant read thermometer (essential for anyone who bakes). When the internal temp reaches 205-210, it's done. Cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes.

Try adding an extra T of flour or so when it's kneading. Usually when the dough "collapses" like that there's too much liquid. I also lift the lid and let the steam escape as soon as it's done.

If you add water to the bottom tray like directed, wipe with a paper towel or old newspaper and you will be good to go. The cooking surface is also easy to clean.

I use a very stiff but flexible flat spatula. Not only does it slide around the edges well to release the angel food cake, (including the "inside hole" around the tube), but it also bends when slid down the side of the pan, to get under the cake to release it. I got it here at Amazon. :)

This usually happens when they are too thin. Try using a ziploc bag. Cut the "zip" part of the bag off, cut the sides and leave the "bottom" of the bag as it is. You should end up with a long rectangular piece of plastic. You can cut more to fit the tortilla press better. Put this film on the press, put your "masa" (tortilla dough) more to the inside of the press than the middle, so you have even round edges, and press. PRESS LIGHTLY. You may need to try several times until you get the right thickness where when you take the plastic off, they won't tear. I hope this helps. This usually happens when they are too thin.

I used parchment paper on the bottom so all I had to do was loosen the sides of the cake. I loosened the sides gently with a non-serrated knife gently and doing that did not scratch the sides of the pan.

I put it on a cookie sheet. Not only does it make handling easier, but mine leaks so badly it keeps my oven clean.

I have not had any problems with batter leaking out. If you have concerns you can always wrap the bottom and part way up the sides with aluminum foil.

You might consider trying the baking spray which has flour with it. I think I did put a VERY LIGHT spray but only a quick spray. I gently use a fork to slide under each donut and pull it loose. When I flip it over to a rack they fall out quickly. Good luck. Don't give up. I try a new recipe each time. The process of making your own donuts is fun so be sure to enjoy yourself. Again, good luck.

I have found two methods that work great. One is to only handle the pan from the base to prevent the cake from being smashed. The second is to place it on a cookie sheet to put in the oven and pull out. That way you can let it cool without any issues. The end results with this pan are far superior to any other pans I have used. Even with the base you don't need parchment paper. Just take a butter knife, slide it in between the crust and base, wiggle it around and slide the cake off. I can hardly wait to order 5 more of these pans. :)

You have to use a cookie sheet. The sil pat is floppy... It isn't sturdy enough to lay on the oven racks. However, the cookies (or anything else you bake on it) will not stick and it creates a perfect browning on the bottom. Easiest clean up ever.

You are going to have to cut that part loose like you did before. Personally i found it the easiest task; just take a butter knife (or the thinnest knife you have) - the utensil does not have to be sharp, and bring it was close to the metal as possible and just run your knife along the underside of the cake and it should come out without any issues. Once i started running my knife it came off and without cutting away at the cake at all. If you had problems with this, you could add a piece of parchment next time to the bottom - it shouldn't effect the chiffon cake at all. But honestly, i don't think you'll have problems getting the bottom off - it's usually the easiest part!

I just use a pastry brush dipped in oil but you can spray, both will be OK.

Run warm water over the bottom of the tray first. Some foods pop out easier than others.

I don't think you can. You need a different type of pan for flan One without a removable bottom.

Well, my quiches have crust, but I have never tried anything like that. I believe after using this it works best for pies that have crust bottoms and tops. Great for hand held pot pies and fruit filled pies. There is a food truck in our town that sells little pies that look just like these sold as hand held pies!
