How to release a cake from a springform or loose bottom tin

This is one of those things that I didn't think too much about but it meant that when I learned what to do it saved me from cheesecake arms or worse, burns.

1. Run a knife around the inside edge of the cake tin.
2. Take a either a soup bowl or dessert bowl that is deeper than the tin and place it under the tin.
3. Release the clasp (if present)
4. Gently slide the sides of the cake tin down the side of the cake until it circles the bowl.
5. You are now left with the base.
