Cheesecake In A Springform Pan:
Prepare and bake the cheesecake according to the recipe and instructions. But, make sure to substitute the 13x9-inch baking pan with a 9-inch springform pan.
Then, increase the baking time to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the middle part of your cheesecake sets.
After that, run a small knife or a metal spatula around the rim of your springform to loosen your cheesecake.
Lastly, cool your cheesecake before removing the rim. If you used a dark nonstick springform pan, reduce your oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. To know that your cheesecake is ready, check the outer ring of your cheesecake. If it sets, the middle is still a bit jiggly like gelatin.
