Method
- Wrapping the pan with foil keeps it watertight.
- If you grease the sides of the pan first, the surface will not crack when the cake starts to shrink on cooling.
- If you grease the sides of the pan first, the surface will not crack when the cake starts to shrink on cooling.
- It always shrinks a little.
- Chill thoroughly before unmolding.
- In fact, I make my cheesecakes one day ahead of serving and leave it in the springform till I’m ready to use it.
- The water bath pan must NOT be higher than the springform pan or it will slow down baking.
- Also, put no more than 1″ of water in the pan.
- Check oven temperature for accuracy.
- When cheesecake is done, turn oven off, DO NOT OPEN DOOR, let sit for 1 hour.
- Then remove, place on a rack, and let cool to room temperature (about 1 hour).
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Use 1 Tablespoon cornstarch per 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese.
- Use Philadelphia brand cream cheese.
- It is the best and works EVERY time.
- IMPORTANT: Use the egg size specified.
- If none is specified, use large (not jumbo or extra-large) size.
