I was making a pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust for Thanksgiving. It looked perfect as I went to take it out of the oven and...the bottom of the springform pan came out!!! The cheesecake dropped into the oven and splattered everywhere, including up inside of the oven door (still not sure how that happened). I was not happy - and my father-in-law commented that it sounded like Gordon Ramsey was in the kitchen, which I'm pretty sure was not a compliment.
