Ping: Wayne - cheesecake directions after removing from oven
Hi Wayne,
regarding this part of the recipe: Quote, Pour batter into the greased springform pan. Place pan into the heated water bath. Bake for 15 minutes, and then lower the oven temperature to 275 degrees F. Continue baking for 1 1/2 hours, or until top is light golden brown and cake is pulling away from the sides of the pan. Turn the oven off when finished cooking and leave the cake in the oven to cool for 3 more hours. (This will keep the cake nice and tall.) Then remove cake and refrigerate before serving. Serve chilled. Unquote. I've got the cheesecake in the oven. It will be around 1 before I turn off the oven and leave in the oven to cool for 3 more hours. For anyone who bakes cheesecake and LEAVES THEIR STONE IN THE OVEN ALL THE TIME, I think this is a very good reason to think about not leaving it in the oven at all times. Then it will be around 4 until it has finished sitting in the oven. Now, QUESTION: Instead of putting it in the refrigerator for 4 hours, making it 8pm and too late (digestion problems) to eat a heaping piece, I want to leave it in overnight, which is what I've seen other recipes. SO: Do I leave the cheesecake IN THE PAN overnight, or do I attempt to remove it from the pan before refrigerating. Note I used the word, "attempt." Oh, I hope I leave it in the pan! And, also, if I were just putting it in the refrigerator for 6 hours and then to eat, would I leave it in the pan for those 4 hours, and then remove from the pan. You see, just saying in the recipe directions "remove cake" doesn't specify clearly enough for this ole gray head whether it means "remove cake [from oven] and refrigerate..." So, I wonder does it mean "remove cake (from pan) and refrigerate. I made some critical mistakes along the way so far, but just larnin'. I'll post pictures when it's all said and done. Dee Dee |

I *always* leave the cheesecake in the pan no matter where it is until I'm about to serve it for the first time. So, oven or fridge, no matter.

My cheesecake is in the oven now for the wait until it comes out and goes into the refrigerator (CHEESECAKE IN THE PAN), overnight. The cheesecake pan is still in the bain marie; should I have taken it out of the bain marie after the complete baking and before the holding pattern in the oven, OR should the cheesecake pan remain in the bain marie until it goes into the refrigerator. I'll bet the answer is: let it sit in the bain marie until it comes out of the oven. Oh! Oh!! Oh!!! Almost forgot!! Do I let it sit on the counter a while to cool it a little bit further before refrigerating it, or should I swoosh it right into the refrigerator? Dee Dee |

Ping: Wayne - cheesecake directions after removing from oven
Cheesecake pics so far
Getting it together http://tinypic.com/mazbcl.jpg ********* Lumps and air: Big Mistakes http://tinypic.com/maz8ki.jpg I didn't wait long enough to let the cream cheese 'soften.' I'm not sure really what 'soften' means, thinking it could mean 'warm up until soft' or mix in mixer to sort of cream it. So, guess what I did: I put it in the mixer to soften and getting carried away when it didn't loosen up, I moved the speed up and up and up, so that before long I was beating it -- Yes, I beat air into it by doing this - SAP!! SAP #2! DH whisked the egg mixture until a little bit frothy. I heard him really going to town with the whisk before I yelled. We should've been keeping an eye out on each other's mixing/beating chores. When I added the egg mixture to the cream mixture, the directions said to blend 1 minute, but I mixed/blended longer than this because 1 minute just would not pull it together. DH smashed some of the lumps, but there were still plenty. SAP #3! ********* http://tinypic.com/maz7tl.jpg End of baking when I turned the oven off. At the end of the 275º baking time, it wasn't golden at all. I baked 10 more minutes, and it was slightly golden, but no signs of pulling away from the pan. I baked it 5 more minutes (when the picture was taken) and decided to turn the oven off. I can zoom in the pic and see that the sides weren't pulling away, and I believe it was too brown to keep the oven on longer. Now the cheesecake has been sitting in the oven with the heat turned off, and the nice rise has fallen. I can see the rim around it where the cheesecake had risen to and now fallen from, but will wait to take a picture when I remove from the oven. Dee Dee |

Leave it on the bottom part of your springform pan, unless you're ready to go big time. I've removed them successfully, but it doesn't sound like you're ready to take that step. If you made that cheesecake in a pie plate, ignore the above advise and leave it in the pan. over and out -- Practice safe eating. Always use condiments. |

A springform bottom is separate from the ring of the springform pan. Two parts: bottom and ring. When you sit a pan that is not sealed, the water will leak into it if you are using a bain marie; i.e., putting the pan into another pan of water. I see that mine didn't leak water up into it, but the butter leaked out of the pan in between the foil and the bottom of the pan itself. Dee Dee |

DH asked: What makes it Rise? If one doesn't beat the eggs for fluffiness, what makes it rise. Mine fell despite the fluffiness of the eggs. Did it fall too much? I will know when I cut into it. I really can't tell at this point. http://tinypic.com/mb334o.jpg The butter that leaked out from the cheesecake pan into the foil lining. This, patches, is an example of the reason for wrapping in foil, as the water can get into the cheesecake. I wonder if there might be an advantage to using a solid pan and no bain marie. I've seen posts somewhere that say their recipes are just as good. And then that opinion, would depend on their expectations. http://tinypic.com/mb2yyc.jpg The final product, a little dark on the top. The aluminum foil has been taken off and you can see the bain marie size. Dee Dee |

I'm not sure that I would care that much for no-bake cheesecake -- but I've probably had one and not known it. I can smell/taste raw eggs a mile away. (Assuming it does contain eggs.) I was going to do the cheesecake AND some genealogy that someone so graciously sent me, hoping to get both done. The genealogy will have to wait until tomorrow - like everything else. Dee Dee |

It's not unusual for a cheesecake to fall a bit as it cools. Hopefully it got rid of any extra air you managed to beat into it. :-) You should end uith a nice solid cake. I like the color, not overly dark. Using the baking method you used generally prevents cracking of the top and that's a plus. When I soften cream cheese, butter, or any other product that needs to be left out until soft, I allow it to reach room temperature. It seems perfect them. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back! UnScrew you! |

I splurged and bought a 15 inch offset spatula just for loosening and removing cheesecakes from the spring form bottom.. I've never had one stick or break with the spatula.. I insert the point between the crust and pan bottom as far as it will go.. then rotate it to ensure that the whole cake is loose prior to lifting it.. I also make sure that the bottom of my spring form is turned so that the cheesecake ends up more on a pedestal than down in a slight recess. I don't know which is supposed to be the upper side of the "bottom"... Chuck (in SC) |

Thanky.. I try .. sometimes ;-).. ALSO.. I've got one spring form.. that has small dimples made into it.. I prefer the smooth bottom pans.. they seem to be less apt to stick.. The three for less than $10, "baker's secret", made in China are my favorite.. though I've never used the two smaller sizes that are stacked inside the 10" size.. I need to though as the large cheesecakes are too big for some of my friends. I just need to spend a day of trial and error to get the cooking times / temps correct..

I don't think you need to adjust your temperature when baking smaller cheesecakes, just the time. Those smaller pans, like 7" or so, make really cute cheesecakes. I like to fill the pan as high as practical to make them taller and a bit more exagerated. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back! UnScrew you! |

Cheesecake by mail?
Anyone know a really good mail-order cheesecake? I'd like
to send one to someone who's done something nice for us. I used to know one, but I think they were bought out and I don't know the new name. Ideas? nancy |

(with my current recipes) Also, for the OP if you're still there.. Cutting the cheesecake is much easier if you use a LOT of unwaxed, un flavored dental floss. Saw down through the cheesecake, use a lot of sawing motion and pressure at the bottom if it has a crust, then turn loose of one end of the floss and pull it out from the other end.. don't bring it back to the top.. keeps from making a mess on the top.. I change floss, and wash or wipe hands often to avoid it being slippery.. Chuck (in SC) |

THEY WERE JUNK.. My first being shiny silver-like.. till it started rusting... The "3 for $10" ones are in the cook ware at my local grocery... 7 inch 8 inch and 10 inch.. I was desperate before Christmas for an extra one.. thought I could "make do" with these... They ended up being the best.. They're non-stick, gray in color.. Almost all of my cheesecakes are for gifts or to take to work.. I buy cardboard circles at a craft/cake decorating store to put the cakes on,, and cake boxes to place them in rather than trying to use a cake carrier type thing. Only problem is finding a box for this purpose, without it being 6 inches tall (for the 10 inch cake) For the smaller diameter cakes, you can find 3 inch high boxes used at some of the take-out food outlets.. I hate to go into the cake decorating store.. just like "Bed Bath & Beyond"... My ex-wife was never able to drag me into either.. Now I know they have cooking tools there..but still doesn't feel right.. Chuck (in SC) |

The nature of cheesecake baking certainly doesn't require it. I use a 40 y.o. aluminum "springless" form pan, 9 x 4 inches that I use for almost all my cheesecakes. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back!

I see a recipe calling for a 9 x 4 lemon pound cake at http://images.google.com/images?svnu...lr=&q=cake+pan googling images of 9x4 pans, I see only loaf pans and angel food and bundt-type pans.

Just a simple loose-bottom pan. It's a heavy pan, quite sturdy. -- Wayne Boatwright Õ¿Õ¬ ________________________________________ Okay, okay, I take it back! UnScrew you! |

Wayne, I don't know which one you are referring to. And when you say, a simple loose-bottom pan, I assume you mean the bottom is separate and can be taken apart; i.e., -- as in jar rings: the bottom is the "lid" and the 4" side is the 'ring', or similar to a tart pan? Thanks, Dee Dee |

I buy farm style butter for table eating, and it is packed in round tubes about 3" in diameter, not squares. Is your butter packed in rectangles, squares or rounds? Dee Dee |
