Cooking in a water bath means you need to put the cake pan inside another, larger pan, and fill the outside pan with water up to the level of the cake pan (being very careful not to let the water into the cake!
A springform pan is a special kind designed so that you can remove the ';side';, turning the bottom of the pan into a serving plate. This is used because cheesecake is basically impossible to remove from the pan, and allows you to slice and serve easily. If you don't have a springform pan, a regular 9'; round will work as well - just removing the slices will be harded.
Hope that helped! Good luck with the cheesecake!What Does It Mean When A Recipe For Cake Says : Cook In Water Bath While Baking?
TO bake in a water bath means to place the springform pan in a baking dish or roasting tin and add water into the baking dish to come up about an inch.
A spring form pan is one that has a hinge on the side of the pan and it releases from the sides of the cake and from the bottom. THe bottom is separate and fits into the sides, you move the hinge and it closes.
If you're going to use a water bath then line the bottom with tin foil before you close the hinge and then, using tin foil, cover the bottom and up the side of the pan - on the outside - to keep it water tight.
a water bath is simply a pan of water to put the cake pan of batter into and they both go into the oven to prevent the thing from baking too dry. the water bath used for cheesecake should be on the rack under the cheesecake.so one rack for the water bath and one for the cheesecake.
