Baking Tip: Cheesecakes like a hot humid environment, instead of baking in a water bath and risking water leaking through your pan you can place a separate dish of water in the oven as the cheesecake cooks to achieve the same goal. This is not essential, but it does help create a cheesecake that doesn’t have cracks.
