Step 3 – Tear off a very LARGE square of the aluminum foil, that is about four inches larger on each side than your spring form pan. Never let a leaky spring form pan get you down!! Here is the trick for a perfectly sealed Cheesecake pan! - homemadehome.com #howto

Step 5 – Set your spring form pan on top of the foil, and wrap the foil around the pan and crinkle it just under the edges of the spring form pan. Never let a leaky spring form pan get you down!! Here is the trick for a perfectly sealed Cheesecake pan! - homemadehome.com #howto

Crimp it nice and tight, being careful not to pull the foil too hard and risk tearing it. It’s heavy duty, not made of kryptonite. Never let a leaky spring form pan get you down!! Here is the trick for a perfectly sealed Cheesecake pan! - homemadehome.com #howto

And you’re done!! That’s IT!! I’ve tried wrapping the base of the spring form, then wrapping the whole pan it self.
