I wrap the whole bottom in parchment and fold the extra under the rim
after snapping on the sides. Then when I open up the springform pan I
have a nice bit of paper to lift up the cheesecake and can even peel the
paper away and place it on a plate. Most of the time I either make one
for others or don't want to leave my pan at someone's place so I need
the cheesecake out of the whole pan. And if I am making a cheesecake for
resale I don't use a springform. I use a solid regular but deep cake
pan. Then I invert it on a cake round and put it on another cake round.
