how do you keep the flan liquid from seeping out?

I am hoping you're using a crust first? There are a few well informed articles on the net aka southernliving.com regarding how to properly use a tart pan.

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

I do not know but you could try putting heavy-duty foil on the outside of the pan up about half-way up the side of it.

I didn't use the pan for flan. I used it for Deep dish fruit pies. But I still wrap it with foil and place it on a jelly roll pan. xoCarole

The lip is fairly wide and the insert fits well. Between that and your crust no fluids seep out. When your tart is cool simply push up on the bottom and it comes right out and looks beautiful.

I is a tart pan, I only use it to make a pie. I don't think it would be good for flan.

Have not had any trouble to date. Most of the time, the recommended hot water and detergent method works for me as well. If the ingredients were high in fat or the container sat too long after being emptied, a quick hand-wash is necessary. One thing I'd caution is to not immerse the outside of your base as I think the repeated exposure to detergent is part of the reason the seal on my original container went out.

Use white vinegar - ((you buy it at a grocery store- very cheaply I might add). Other than that- just use a soft facecloth and wipe it down on the outside after use. Leave the top open for it to air dry inside, do not use dish detergent in the area where the water goes or you'll taste soap in your coffee for months!

Bogart, try mixing a little soap and water in a spray bottle. Use cold water and liquid soap and don't make bubbles.Inflate the boat and get someone nice and fat (in my case I would just sit on it myself) and spray the soapy water on all the seams. You should be able to detect the leak. Don't forget to flip it over and check the bottoms.Hope that helps.

Just plain tap water will work some. Anything that will not hurt the item you're putting it, or stainless steel, could be used as solution.

Get Liquid Aluminum....same as bottle shown. Works. Add 1/4 bottle and see if the leak stops. If not, add more, in 1/4 bottle increments.

When using this in the car, the best solution we found is keep a cup or similar plastic container with a lid to pour the excess into. Any attempt to unscrew and pour the excess back into the bottle is not likely to end well.

One way is to deflate the ring partially then fold it into the water and hold it under. Bubbles should show up at the leak. You will probably have to do a section at a time, whatever is comfortable for you to handle. Check the area around the plugs first in case it's a seal problem rather then a small puncture. Another approach is gooey stuff spread over a suspected area. Corn syrup, molasses, play goop, things like that. It sticks, so you can sometimes spot bubbles in hard to submerge areas. Good luck.

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

I had the same question. My solution is to keep it in the closet in the house until we are ready to go out. I do the same with any liquid item, batteries, etc., that the AZ heat is likely to destroy.

Get an eye dropper at Walmart then you have to put the bottle under HOT running water. This will make it so you can use the dropper. Good luck!

I just bought one, waiting for delivery, I think during assembly I will use clear silicone to insure it does not leak. Will have to wait for assembly to determine how and where to use the silicone.

I try my best to just let as much of the water out as possible and make sure to never put anything thats not water into it because cleaning other types of liquids leave a nasty smell and residue as for mold issues or smell after every use I just keep it in my freezer until the next time. Hope this helps

First, only fill half way so there is enough air space in the container to hold some air pressure. Pump a few times until the pressure on pump is firm but not tight. Second, hold closer to pan.

I actually cut the bottle in half and use a knife or spatula to remove the remaining liquid. This may sound crazy or odd, but there is always a bunch left in the bottle. I do this for tubes, too.

Fill it up with isopropyl until the internal glass tube is submerged, let it sit for as long as you can, see it helps. .. temporarily
