2
Add crust to the bottom of springform pan and bake according to your recipe instructions. Remove from oven and set in prepared roasting pan (on dish towel). Bring a kettle or saucepan of water to boil.
3
Add cheesecake filling to the baked crust. Transfer the roasting pan (with unbaked cheesecake on dish towel) to an oven rack.
4
Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the pan. Bake cheesecake according to recipe instructions.
5
Follow recipe instructions, or let cheesecake cool in the roasting pan for ⏱️ 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool until barely warm, about 2 ½ to ⏱️ 3 hours longer. Run a knife around the inside edge of the springform pan about once per hour to loosen the cake.
6
Wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about ⏱️ 3 hours. To unmold the cheesecake, wrap a kitchen towel wet with hot water around the cake pan for ⏱️ 1 minute. Remove the sides of the pan and carefully slide the cake onto a cake platter.
