Dear Blogosphere,
Sorry I know I dropped the ball this week with giving you the Tuesday Tips and Wednesday Recipes. Something about working on Christmas presents in August. Yes, I'm "that" crazy person.
This tip comes from the wife of one of my work friends.
You may have recalled in an earlier post how I have a horrible time baking cheesecake. The first time making it, the cheesecake didn't bake through. The second time, I put it in a water bath and I was so nervous about it not baking through that it was burned on the top.
I made the No-Bake Cheesecake with my students this week and a fellow teacher told me that his wife was having difficulty with baking cheesecake until she figured out the following tip:
Instead of putting the pan in a bath, place a cookie sheet of water on the bottom rack and have the cake on the top rake. This helps regulate the temperature through the baking process. Also, do not open the oven (when baking anything! Period.) because you will let the heat out.
I personally can't wait to try this Tuesday (really Thursday) Tip for myself.
Kirsten
