Cooking Guide
Step 1
1Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the lower middle. Wrap a 9- or 10-inch springform pan in one large sheet of heavy-duty foil (and a second for insurance), covering the underside and all the way up the sides with no seams, then spray the inside with nonstick spray.
The Why
The tight foil wrap keeps water-bath moisture out of the seam, and a seamless barrier is the only thing between a silky cake and a soggy crust.
