I have a 9quot; spring form pan I use for cheesecakesI have started using a water bath to cook them since it prevents cracksSince the pan won't fit in one sheet of aluminum foil, I've been trying to seam two sheets together, but even when using two sheets together it still leaks through the foil and into the pan, making the crust soggyIs there any way to water proof the pan?
If you have a cast iron Dutch oven with a lid you dont need a water bathwhen you bake the cheesecake in the Dutch oven with the lid on , the steam that comes out of the cake keeps moisture around the cheesecake and when you cool it just turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the covered Dutch oven for 90 minutes to 2 hours before removingI bake all my cheesecakes this way and they never crack.
