Important Considerations for Springform Pan Volumes:
Springform pan volumes are approximate and depend heavily on the pan's depth, which commonly ranges from **2.5 to 3 inches (approximately 6 to 7.5 cm)**.
The volumes listed are for the total capacity of the pan. Recipes will typically not fill the pan to the brim.
When substituting springform pans, matching the volume as closely as possible is important, especially for cheesecakes or delicate cakes where batter height is critical.
Always ensure the springform collar is securely attached to the base to prevent leaks.
