A springform pan is a specialized baking pan that allows the sides and bottom of the pan to separate. It is often used for cheesecakes or other cakes that is difficult to remove from a traditional cake pan.
The non-stick pan is most likely made with Teflon and is illegal to use in restaurants.
Yes. Just be sure to double sift the cake mix and grease the spring form pan. wrong!! you don't have to sift boxed cake mixes!
cooking parchment paper
Cheesecake is not the kind of cake that is 'turned out' of the cake pans as a regular cake is. If it were baked in regular cake pans, it wouldn't turn out of the pan, and would be very difficult to cut and serve with the sides of the regular cake pan still in place. But by baking it in a springform pan, you just remove the side of the pan once the cheesecake is cool, then cut and serve on the bottom of the springform pan.
It is 9 inches wide.
If a spring-form pan is not available, it may be possible in some cases to line a regular cake pan with parchment paper. Cut a circle to fit the bottom of the pan, and another strip long enough to extend over the sides of the pan. Grease or oil the pan, place the strip so the ends extend beyond the pan, then place the circle over the strip, covering the bottom of the pan. Brush the paper well with oil. After baking, loosen the sides of the cake by running a knife around the edges, then use the strips of paper to lift the cake out of the pan.
Yes, you would spray (grease) a glass dish when baking cheese cake. But the proper pan for cheesecake is a metal spring-form pan. This is a round cake pan with sides that can be removed from the base.
A 12" pie plate shoul be big enough. 8x8=64in of area, a 12" pie plate has 113.094in of area (3.1415x6^2=113.094) which means as long as they are of similar depth then you should be fine.

depends if its a spring form pan, metal pan or a sillicone pan, the best to get your cake out is preperation before adding the mixture, grease proof and baking paper is what i always use or heavily oiling/buttering the pan before you place the mixture in it otherwise you may find your cake has fallen to bits. just because a pan says its anti stick its not always true.
