I was told the oreo cookie may become hard not after the baking but after it is refrigerated. Do you think that is true?<br />Also, may I use oreo crumbs on the bottom of the cupcake tins and would I have to mix it with butter? <br />Thank you,<br />AnnamariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-2302064350003498292011-12-20T00:38:41.409+08:002011-12-20T00:38:41.409+08:00Hi,

Make sure you wrap the exterior of your tin well with foil to prevent water from seeping in. When 1 hour is up, shake the pan a little and see if the filling is set. If it jiggles throughout, it means it is not ready. Bake until the cheesecake is fully set and does not jiggle at all. <br /><br />For denser cheesecakes, add a further 20 minutes to the baking time, after the cheesecake has fully set. <br /><br />cheersBakertanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333706478714722217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-45511597925547725462011-12-19T03:38:20.206+08:002011-12-19T03:38:20.206+08:00if the recipe calls to bake for 1 hour and use the...if the recipe calls to bake for 1 hour and use the waterbath instead how much longer should i add to the baking time? thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-7470914575723664952011-02-23T09:26:11.940+08:002011-02-23T09:26:11.940+08:00Justin

Im a pretty good cook (not to float my own boat) but baking is really out of my league so hopefully this will help get me on the road to great baking!<br /><br />Thanks again!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-85434052112410347142010-07-31T00:49:40.215+08:002010-07-31T00:49:40.215+08:00Hey Pei-Lin,

I would like to add in pictures here but I dont have relevant pictures to add in. Will take note of this and probably add in pictures in time to come. Hey be confident in your writing ya. afterall, you write for a living. lol, maybe I just written a short journal. <br /><br />Usually cakey cakes are supposed to be cooled on a wire rack after removing from the pan. If not the water vapour will be trapped and cause the cake to be soggy. This happened to my cotton cheesecake. The top and middle was featherlight creamy, whereas the base was like moist and eggy. Not too good. next time I will probably bake slightly longer and make sure to cool it on a wire rack to avoid this. <br /><br />based on the picture, I can if its alike. wait till I bake mine again.Bakertanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333706478714722217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-22765268800931074672010-07-30T22:59:31.702+08:002010-07-30T22:59:31.702+08:00No, no ...

So far, I haven't found anyone else around who has defeated my records. LOL! Except though, from a writer's standpoint, it'd be great if there are pictures to go along with the words. In journalism/psychology, there's a term called "blocks of gray." That's why albeit exhausted, I make sure there are at least three to four pics to go along with mine. Just my two cents. However, I know I'm a bad writer/journalist lar ... LOL! I skimmed thru because I wanted to get an idea of what you're trying to convey here and simultaneously, getting ready for bed. Will take these pointers as reference. Should the need arise, I'll go back and refer to them. You've just published a one-page reference book!<br /><br />What do you mean by not cooling the cheesecake on rack? I didn't cool mine on wire rack either. The recipe author also recommended there isn't a need to do so. I just placed the whole cake, in its pan, on the wire rack and let it cool away. Once cooled, let it chill overnight to firm it up before slicing. For me, it tasted like featherlight cheesecake, literally melted in my mouth. How soggy was it? I think a little wet is OK due to the nature of this type of cheesecake. Did yours turn out to be something like mine?<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/ocbcb/4703893156/Pei-Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822262778417710649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-2238761048050502612010-07-29T23:21:12.338+08:002010-07-29T23:21:12.338+08:00Hi HHB,

Subsequently, my cheesecakes were free from cracks. <br /><br />Thanks and do give it a try again. I'm sure it will turn out fine =]<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Hi NEL, <br /><br />Haha, I dont know what to write for a cheesecake book or cheesecake blog. There are still several dozen cheesecake recipes waiting for me to try out. <br /><br />Thanks! I've maked more cheesecakes than my fingers can count. probably somewhere between 10-20.Lost count of it. <br /><br />This is one colour scheme that I am most satisfied with. I actually like the colour green better but it doesnt match as a whole on my blog. Always seem a little dull and weary. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Hi Yummy Koh, Busygran and DG,<br /><br />Thanks alot! You all have been really supportive =] Glad that these info can be of use to everyone. <br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Hey Pei-Lin,<br /><br />Haha, Maybe my write-up is too lengthy for you to read? Bain Marie is such a smart technique that is especially useful in cheesecake baking. Thanks!<br /><br />I quite like the Japanese souffle cheesecake. If I have pictures, I would have blogged about it. Back then I was on a hiatus and did not have the momentum to blog. Mine turn out quite well but the base was a little soggy cos I din cool it on a wire rack. Its like a spongy cheesey chiffon cake. Its more cake than cheesecake like, hence I dont mind it being light =]. Hope to see yours blogged soon.Bakertanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333706478714722217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-9244244169526353052010-07-29T21:12:13.308+08:002010-07-29T21:12:13.308+08:00I skimmed through the write-up.

Thank you for taking the time for such detailed write-up. =)<br /><br />Hey, so you baked Japanese souffle cheesecake before!? Liked it? Actually, this is by far my family's fave. I like it also lar ... I thought you wouldn't like it since you're more dense, creamy American type cheesecake person. LOL! Mine is still in the pile of backlogs ... When the mood strikes me, I'll blog about it. =PPei-Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822262778417710649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518449826441334619.post-11137606371157698942010-07-29T15:48:07.750+08:002010-07-29T15:48:07.750+08:00Great write-up on this.

I didn't bake with a water bath, since the recipe didn't call for it. Your post has given me the confidence that I should give baked cheesecake a try again.
