Ingredients

  • Cheesecake
  • Hot Water

Instructions

  • Lay out several strips of foil on the counter. Make sure they're larger than your springform pan.
  • Wrap the foil up the sides of the pan, being sure the layers reach over halfway to the top.
  • Place the foil covered pan in a large oven bag or slow cooker liner. If there is excess bag, tie it in a knot at one side, being sure the bag comes all the way to the top of the pan, covering all the foil.
  • Make cheesecake as directed and add it to the prepared pan.
  • Bring several cups of water to a boil in a kettle or pot or in the microwave.
  • Place your cheesecake in a larger roasting pan or skillet (it needs to be larger than your springform pan).
  • Place the large pan in a preheated oven.
  • Carefully pour boiling water into the larger pan, being careful not to get it in the oven bag or springform pan.
  • Bake cheesecake as directed.
