I have a 9x13 inch springform pan and a 9x9 inch springform pan that I use for all my brownie and bar cookie recipes. I put a piece of parchment over the bottom plate, snap on the ring and it's ready to go. After the baked goods come out of the oven and cool for a few minutes, I remove the ring, and slide the brownies (or cake or whatever) off the base and onto a cooling rack. This is especially handy when I need to reuse the pan for a second batch or another recipe. I no longer have to wait until the baked good cools completely to remove it from the pan. (FWIW, this also works for freezer meals.)
