Should baking time be adjusted
when using a bain-marie?
Q: I recently tried a Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake
recipe, while the flavor was amazing the cheesecake did not cook
evenly. I was going to try baking it in a bain-marie and would
like to know if I need to adjust the baking time...the baking
time according to the recipe is 1 hour and 5 minutes. Thank you.
A: There should be no need for adjusting the suggested
baking time using the method of a bain-marie (water bath) when
baking a cheesecake. Timing in most recipes should be thought
of more as a suggestion than absolute fact. Testing for doneness
is the rule-of-thumb when baking anything..cakes, cookies, pies,
breads and even cheesecakes.
A perfectly baked cheesecake
will be puffed around the edges, yet the center should be slightly
moist and jiggly. Unless otherwise directed by your recipe, turn
the oven off and allow cheesecake to remain in oven, with the
door ajar, for 30 minutes or until center is completely set.
Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack away
from drafts before refrigerating.
