Rules for Baking a Beautiful
Cheesecake
1. Beat cheese and sugar together until very smooth and fluffy and the
sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Beat in eggs 1 at a time just long enough to thoroughly blend. DO NOT
OVERBEAT.
3. To avoid cracking on the top of the cheesecake: ~ Place a pan of hot
water on the floor of the ~ oven during baking time. ~ Check that your oven
is NOT drafty. ~ Check the accuracy of your oven temperature. A ~ too-hot
oven WILL cause cracks. ~ DO NOT “peek” at the cheesecake during baking ~
time. ~ Use the proper size pan. If you use another size ~ pan, adjust the
baking time accordingly. ~ DO NOT overbake. Timing is important. ~ Run a
spatula around the sides of the pan to ~ loosen cheesecake immediately
after baking. ~ Cool the baked cheesecake to room temperature ~ COMPLETELY
before refrigerating. A hot, or ~ even warm cheesecake, in the refrigerator
WILL ~ definitely crack.
4. Even the non-amateur, following all the rules, will occasionally produce
a cracked cheesecake. If so, simply cover the top of the cheesecake with
one of your favorite toppings and pretend you didn’t notice. The cheesecake
will taste wonderful just the same.
