How to assemble a springform pan?
The bottom sheet of a springform pan typically has bumps and a raised lip. Should the lip go up or down?
I've probably done it both ways in the past. Is it just a matter of personal preference?
Best Answer
It's personal preference.
However, it's easier to cover the base of the pan in grease-proof paper when the lip is downward. When the lip is upwards, it can be difficult to get the lining paper into the edges at the bottom without it crinkling a lot.
You get slightly less mix into the pan, but it's not really noticeable. For me, it's easier to handle a downward lip.

The lip is supposed to be down, but the sky won't fall if you get it upside down. If you put the lip up you get a lip shaped indentation in the finished cake, and you have to clean underneath it, which can be a pain.How do you line the sides of a springform pan?
