Baking Cheesecake

nana59 · ‎05-12-2012

Haven't made a cheesecake in a long time, but the recipe I remember liking says to bake for 60-70 minutes....turn off oven leaving door ajar.....and leave cheesecake in oven for one hour......revised version of same recipe doesn't specify that.....anyone follow the "leave in oven" for additional hour? thanks...

I leave mine in for an hour or longer. It always turns out perfect!

Do you mind posting recipe and is either recipe, the one calling for an hour or more, or the one not calling for, baked in a convection oven as opposed to a conventional oven?

I would like the recipe. At a time in my life, I did not need the recipe as I cooked it so often for family, friends, etc., and then a case of diabetes affected a couple family members and I quit making it. Now, I would like to make it for a sister who will be visiting during the holidays and recalls many years ago when I baked it and she loved it. Your recipe will be helpful and might be the one!!!

Thank you in advance.
