I have the combo springform pan now for approximately 1 year in use, and make a lot of cakes in what works flawlessly. While there is still grease / einzumehlen in drier cake despite good coating useful (and necessary), although the dough dissolves very nice and it is evenly baked. Much more can be of bakeware not expect, and therefore full star number - especially because it is a durable product that justifies the price.
