Baking Cheesecake without having to use a hot water bath to steam the oven is the way of the future when it comes to Cheesecake.

Baking the perfect cheesecake takes years to get just the right technique.

Some examples are:

  • How long to bake the cheesecake,
  • Which temperature,
  • When to lower the oven temperature,
  • Using the water bath correctly, yep using the wrong amount of water will affect the end Cheesecake,
  • to mixing technique.

These are all serious cheesecake issues, but today we are going to be made easy.  I'm the kind of Chef that doesn't really like using the word easy, yet the food world has decided easy is popular and everyone likes easy. With that said, today I'm going to give you just that;  easy perfect cheesecake.

First, let's talk about something cool I found at the local restaurant supply store. This is my first product review. Today's review is covering 9-inch silicone glass bottom cheesecake cookware. Just looking at this product you can tell it is very easy to use, and a cinch removing the cheesecake from the cookware. No more using knives to separate the cheesecake from the cookware. You'll see how it works in the video below.

Classically cheesecakes are baked in a water bath. Ok, that's nice, but who wants to move a cooking tray filled with scalding hot water? The risk of getting burnt, spilling the hot water on the floor along with the ruined cheesecake.  Nope, never again. My method is safe and easy.

The reason for the water bath in the first place is "even" cooking and helps prevent cracking. My method handles all these concerns.

How To Bake a Cheesecake With No Water Bath

Instructions

Wet a bath towel with warm to hot water, rinse out most of the leftover water but don't' try too hard, the extra water is what we are looking for to help retain the heat.

Towel-arrangement-no-water-bath-cheesecake

Warm towel in oven. Arrange the towel before warming the towel in the oven. Lay the towel flat and crease the towel on its sides making a bed in the middle 

Warm-up in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes

Remove from the oven and place the cheesecake bakeware in the middle of the tray and place the sides of the towel around the cookware.

NOTE: the towel will not be very hot after a short 3-5 minutes in a 325-degree oven, only a warm-up starter for the baking process.

 

History of Cheesecake: The earliest attested mention of a cheesecake is by the Greek physician Aegimus, who wrote about it in his book on ancient cuisine. The recipe for this dessert dates back to before Romans adopted it with their conquest over Greece and made them Romanized citizens (The libum). This same treat can be found being cooked into two different cakes: one that resembles more modern-day pastries like cookies or brownies

Caramel sauce

      Dulce De Leche is a confection prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a substance that derives its taste from the Maillard reaction, changing flavor and color. Literally translated, it means "candy of milk" or "sweet of milk." Its origin is a highly debated topic and it is popular in most Latin American countries.

Werthers-caramel_candies

This stuff is great caramel sauce. It's also cheap, which is only awesome because the taste is spot on. I'd compare it to the caramel.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 45 mins
Total Time 1 hr
Course Dessert
Cuisine American Classic
Servings 8 Servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 8 oz packs Cream Cheese
  • 5 large Eggs
  • 1 ½ cups Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extra
  • ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • ¼ teaspoon Lemon Zest

Instructions
 

  • First - Bring cream cheese to room temperature ( About 10 minutes is enough, will still be chilly to the touch )
  • Add cream cheese to the electric mixer and start the mixer. Next, add in the eggs one at a time. Allow the cream cheese and eggs to combine well. Next, add in the sugar little by little till all the sugar is incorporated. Add the sour cream, vanilla extra, salt, and brown sugar and mix just till all ingredients are well combined.

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Using a springform pan or the cookware in the article above. Use one full package of graham crackers minus the last 4 crackers. Add crackers to food processor and pulse till smooth.
  • Add 4 tablespoon of melted whole butter and combined. The end product should be like moist sand. 
  • Spread the crust around the bottom of a springform pan. Try using the bottom of a glass to help pack and shape the graham cracker base. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

No Water Bath Method

  • A safe and simple alternative to filling up an oven pan with hot water and having to transfer it to and from the oven. Can be dangerous
  • Using a large towel, run the towel under hot water until completely soaked.
  • Squeeze out the excess water
  • Using a cookie sheet, wrap the towel into a circle, the size of the bakeware
  • Fill the springform pan with the cheesecake filling.
    Place the cheesecake filled bakeware into the middle of the hot wet towel and wrap the towel around the cheesecake bakeware
  • The towel will protect and add moisture like a water bath while cooking

Baking

  • Bake at 325 for 45 minutes or until the cheesecake filling has firmed up. The cheesecake will still have a little wiggle to it. It will set up and harden once it cools.
    Once cool, place into the refrigerator to finish setting up.
