Abstract
A form for use with a springform pan to make a uniform thickness crust that has both bottom and side surfaces, the pan having a bottom and sidewall surface, the form comprising a variable or fixed sidewall ring having top and bottom rims, a defined height, inner and outer surfaces, and two parallel slits extending between the rims that are over-lapable to set the sidewall ring diameter, and a plurality of spacers, that affix to a sidewall selected from the group consisting of the pan sidewall surface and the sidewall ring to control the spaced distance between the sidewall ring outer surface and pan sidewall surface to yield a substantially uniform side thickness crust, and wherein the sidewall ring is configured to enable the sidewall ring bottom rim to cut through raw crust material placed adjacent the pan sidewall surface.
