For Perfect Cheesecake

For Perfect Cheesecake

Have all ingredients at room temperature. If you're in a hurry, warm cream cheese 10 minutes in a 200 oven. Slip eggs in their shells into a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes. Oiling the springform pan keeps cake from sticking to sides, which can cause cake to crack as it cools. Scrap beaters and bowl several times while beating cram cheese. Once the eggs have been incorporated, don't beat or stir the batter vigorously. It adds too much air. Cheesecake rise very little while baking, so pans may be filled to the rim. If there's too much batter, bake the excess in a small cake pan or custard cup. Don't open the oven door during the first 30 minutes of baking time. When adding dissolved gelatin to no bake cheesecake, be sure cream cheese mixture is at room temperature. If you add the dissolved gelatin to a very cold mixture, it may set as you pour it in. The result will be strings of gelatin in a cheesecake that won't set properly. Make cheesecakes at least 1 day ahead to allow flavor to ripen. Cheesecakes may be refrigerated for up to a week, or wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Remove sides of springform pan when serving cake and leave cake on base. Slice cakes with a long thin knife dipped in hot water. Wipe knife and redip after each slice. Source: My Old Recipes
