Review on 🍰 Versatile and Durable: Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker Springform Cake Pan with Tempered Glass Base and Non-Stick Silicone by Nick Kirschenmann

I can't tell you how happy I was to try this pan. In short, although the idea is great, the design and functionality needs a lot of improvement. Yes, I'm in the Instapot Cult. I want anything Instapot related. However, not this one. It comes out of the box warped at first (see pictures), which shouldn't be a big deal in the long run. However, I'm interested in anything that pays full price to be impeccable out of the box, so I wasn't laughing. I assumed it would hold its correct shape once filled with batter. It's not like this. Also see the pictures below. Also, it smells funny, which is not visible in the pictures below. I've had my IP long enough to know they smell after a while. The silicone o-ring is going to be really weird and I imagine the silicone o-ring on this pan will end as well. we are sitting. One of the advantages of this pan over the traditional springform pan noted by IP enthusiasts is that the traditional pan has a bulky buckle that makes it impossible to use a pan with a slightly larger circumference. The thin clip that holds the silicone in place does allow for more room, but it still doesn't sit flush with the included stand (pictured below). Maybe that's true of other coasters I've seen too. I will choose the one that is part of the original IP setup. This too is an aesthetic. Maybe it doesn't bother others so much. Firstly, I don't dare hold pans in a springform pan anymore, I'm not thrilled that I have to work with a crooked one from the start. What do we do? strike 4? So I leave it as flat as possible, set it to cook according to the recipe (which wasn't good either), and the end result of the set is shown below. To be honest I couldn't tell for sure if the cake was even though you can see how the mold looks exploded below. It should be noted that removing the clip wasn't difficult, although it didn't slip off easily. Ultimately, I don't want it to move easily or it would spell disaster for my recipe. But I have some problems with my hands, which means that something has to be relatively easy to handle, otherwise it just doesn't work. With some effort, the clip broke off. As I washed the pan and attempted to put it back together, my conclusion that I was going to fail became clearer. Too bad I didn't check how tight the silicone ring was when I first took the pot out of the box. I washed it but didn't take it apart. After gathering everything back, the ring didn't fit. I forced him as hard as I could. The silicone touched, pinched, and then slightly moved apart. As a result, a small gap was formed as shown below. The real question was whether this slot would leak with use, and the answer to that is obvious in my attached video: Yes, it did. I took it apart and put it back together carefully, and still the gap. Of course, thick batter shouldn't leak, despite the fact that water did. That is, if a springform pan is worth its asking price, it shouldn't leak at all, even a new high-tech IP pan. Especially the chic new high-tech IP. So I am returning this pan. Perhaps the flaws I noticed right away are minor ones: it's deformed out of the box, doesn't sit snugly on the standard IP address stand, barely splays, doesn't fit snugly to the rear. However, I enter into relationships with all kitchen products with durability in mind. I just don't think this pan will last long. I don't see it keeping up with multiple features and advanced usage. I'm returning mine and staying in the market looking for something more durable, easy to work with, sealed and possibly a lifetime of use.
