It sounds like you're looking for a round baking pan with a removable bottom, measuring 12 cm in diameter and 3.5 cm in height. These types of pans are often used for making delicate cakes, tarts, and cheesecakes because the removable bottom makes it easy to release the finished baked goods without damaging them.
Specifications:

- Carbon Steel: Often coated with a non-stick finish, it provides even heat distribution and durability.
- Aluminum: Lightweight, heats evenly, and offers a non-stick surface for easy release.
- Stainless Steel: Sometimes used but less common for removable bottom pans.
- Removable Bottom: Allows the base to be separated from the side walls, making it easier to remove delicate baked goods without damaging them.
- Non-stick coating: Many models come with this feature, which helps in easy removal of baked goods and makes for easier cleaning.

- Dishwasher Safe: Some models may be dishwasher-safe, though handwashing is recommended to prolong the life of the non-stick coating.
Uses:
- Cheesecakes: The removable bottom makes it easy to release the cake without cracking the edges, perfect for cheesecakes that require a smooth surface.
- Tarts and Pies: Ideal for tarts or pies, as it helps achieve a crisp crust and allows easy removal from the pan.
- Cakes: Small cakes or individual-sized portions, particularly those with delicate textures.
- Mousse and Other Desserts: Can be used for mousse or layered desserts that need to hold their shape but are delicate to handle.
- Layered Cakes: A great option for baking individual layers for layered cakes.
- Miniature Portions: Given its small size, it is perfect for creating single-serving portions or petite desserts.
Advantages:
Easy Removal: The key advantage of a removable bottom is the ease with which you can release your cake, tart, or other baked goods. Simply remove the sides of the pan, and the bottom easily lifts away.
Prevents Damage: Since you can remove the bottom of the pan, there is less risk of damaging the delicate structure of your baked goods (especially with delicate items like cheesecakes or tarts).
Even Cooking: The pan ensures even heat distribution during baking, thanks to its material (such as carbon steel or aluminum), helping you achieve a consistent bake.
Versatility: While it’s commonly used for cheesecakes and tarts, you can also use it for a variety of other baked goods, from small cakes to mousse.
Portion Control: With a small diameter of 12 cm, it’s perfect for making smaller, individual-sized portions for events or testing recipes without committing to larger quantities.
Non-stick Surface: If it has a non-stick coating, it provides an extra layer of ease when it comes to cleaning and removing baked goods.
Space-saving: Its small size makes it perfect for kitchens with limited storage space or for bakers who make small batches of treats.
Professional Look: Ideal for creating bakery-quality presentation, especially when making individual-sized desserts or treats.
Care and Maintenance Tips:
- Avoid metal utensils if the pan has a non-stick coating to prevent scratching.
- Hand wash: Even if it’s labeled as dishwasher safe, hand washing ensures a longer lifespan for the coating.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to ensure your baked goods don’t stick to the base.
