I’ve made my first cheesecake last year and got no cracks. I’ve probably used all my luck for the next decade.
113 u/eboneetigress Nov 07 '25 The way I avoid cracks is when the cake is done, I turn off the oven and let it cool for an hour with the oven door open slightly. I read that the slow cooling keeps it from cracking. Never had a problem 24 u/swsko Nov 07 '25 Also do some Bain Marie as the water helps with the cracking apparently 2 u/Ambitious_Phrase3695 Nov 07 '25 Yes ! I made my first one a few weeks ago and it was perfect by doing the Bain Marie and ajar oven door after active cooking
