bearGE, for the times i baked, water bake is better for my oven
it not compulsory, but my oven is cornell cannot control the heat so water bake will prevent crack
personally i feel without water bake the cheesecake turn out a bit more chunky
missycandy, you need to use boiling water for water bake, the water eventually will dry up but doest matter... water bake also take slightly long time to bake
nb01, i think i just too work out earlier... think i need to have "inner peace" LOL.. need to find inner peace
