Introduction
To a precision satisfactory for most recipes, a 10-inch pan requires one and
a half times as much batter as an 8-inch pan, and one and a quarter-time as
much as a 9-inch pan.
So, you can adjust your recipes accordingly. The only problem with
adjusting cheesecake recipes is that you sometimes wind up needing a
quarter of an egg. First, remember that it's not that critical to get the
conversion precisely right, and secondly, decide whether you want to round
the eggs up to the nearest whole egg or down to the nearest whole egg
based on the effects of eggs on the batter.
In general, egg whites both lighten a cheesecake and toughen the texture;
egg yolks make the cake firmer but don't lighten. The yolks also lend a
"rich" taste to the cake. So, if you need part of an egg, you can separate it
and use whichever half you prefer, or you can use one less egg for a softer,
heavier cake or one more egg for a firmer, lighter cake.
Solutions for Cracked Cheesecake
The number one problem facing cheesecake bakers is the heartbreak of
cracking cheesecake. While the cracking doesn't affect the taste of the
cheesecake, it does tend to detract from the finished appearance.
Typically, cheesecakes crack for one of two reasons:
1. Too much beating before baking (which causes the entrapment
of air in the mixture); the air is released during the bake cycle,
and like a souffle, the cheesecake collapses and cracks; or
2. Insufficient post-bake, a cool-down time before removal from
the oven. Again, like a souffle, the cheesecake is a delicate
creation and is easily cracked if removed from the oven while
the batter/cake is still warm.
Here are several solutions I've tried that singly or in concert have reduced
the number of cracked cheesecakes I've produced.
1. Avoid over-mixing the batter. If you think you've overdone it,
allow the mixture to stand in the refrigerator for a half-hour,
remove it from the refrigerator, and allow it to stand for an
additional half-hour before placing it into the preheated oven.
2. Leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door closed, and the
heat turned off for an hour after you have finished baking.
Simply turn off the heat at the end of the baking time — Do not
open the door.
3. If that isn't sufficient, try baking the cheesecake in a water bath.
4. At the end of the cool-down period, run a knife around the inner
edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake from the
pan, then allow the cheesecake to completely cool at room
temperature. Refrigerate for at least six hours before removing
the springform sides.
5. If all else fails, and your cheesecake does crack, spread a can of
cherries or blueberries over the top, to hide the cracks. (Hey,
even the best of us cracks up from time to time!)

Afterthoughts
I’ve been writing recipe books for some time now, and do you know what’s
the best feeling about it? Well, it’s the chance to put my ideas down so that
everyone can try them out, and not just me. It’s always more fun when
others have a chance to enjoy the recipes I enjoy.
However, I still try to make things simpler so that everyone can have a go at
them. No matter the experience levels. In fact, I had feedbacks from top
chefs and people who never stopped inside a kitchen. They loved the
simplicity of the recipes and yet how delicious they have turned out.
That’s why please do leave honest feedback. It will help everyone in
deciding which book they need and it will help me become even better at
my work. Also, share your favorite recipes from this book and maybe I’ll
create a book collection of my reader’s favorite recipes.
