...what. I make a cheesecake semi often and require none of that. A water bath. like o.o Wut

Re: foods/meals you wish you could cook

The whole water bath thing is only to try to prevent cracking on the top and is not really that important, especially if you are going top it with something. A water bath just makes the heat a little more humid and supposedly makes the heat more even. I don't actually think cracks look bad and they don't affect the taste as far as I can tell. Tinfoil on the bottom of the springform pan is because springform pans come apart and are not water-tight, so you need to keep the water from seeping into the pan (also if your batter is really thin, it might seep out a bit, though I don't think I've ever had that problem with cheesecake).

NAYRT
Thank you so much for this info!!! I used to make cheesecake regularly, and every time I made one where there was a hole in the foil even though I double or triple layer it was the most infuriating thing! My crust is a wet mess and I just wasted a lot of cream cheese. I never understood the fear of the cracks either? I've always liked rustic looking foods anyway.
