Can I use a pie pan to make a cheesecake?
Two deep-dish pie plates, 9-inch cake pans or 8×4-inch loaf pans would all work well. If you would like to remove the cheesecake from the pan, be sure to line the base and sides with parchment paper first. You could also bake the cheesecake in an aluminum foil pan and cut it away to reveal the cake.
