Can I repair a cake tin which has started to leak?
I have a cake tin (the sprung false bottom type) which, although the bottom seems to fit quite well, has started to leak when I pour cake mixture into it.
Is there anything I can do to rescue the tin and stop it from leaking, or should I just bin it and get a new one?
Best Answer
Wrap the bottom in tin foil before squeezing it into the sides with the clasp.

Since the bottom and sides of the pan do not have a strong seal, there's a chance your batter can leak out and all over your oven.Why does my cake pan leak?
Press the foil as smoothly as possible against the edge and sides of the tin, though you may get some slight crease marks in the edges of your cake. Grease the foil and line the base with a piece of baking parchment (parchment paper).How do you seal a loose bottom cake tin?
So, to prevent or minimize leaks, most bakers line the inside of a springform pan with parchment paper to help seal the attachment. Additionally, wrapping the base's exterior with aluminum foil or saran wrap will deter leaking out or seeping into the pan.Sources: Stack Exchange - This article follows the attribution requirements of Stack Exchange and is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
