Question 1

What is the best way to cut clean slices?

Accepted Answer

First, make sure the cheesecake has had a chance to cool completely, Then, using a sharp knife, run it under hot water before slicing. Then, wipe the knife clean and dip it in hot water again. Continue to clean and dip the knife between every slice

Question 2

What is the best way to prevent cracks?

Accepted Answer

Although using a water bath is one great way to prevent your cheesecake from drying out and cracking, this recipe uses such a low oven temperature, you do not have to worry about that. If you are planning to cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time, using a water bath is recommended for a crack-free cheesecake. Some people have said that turning the oven off and letting the cheesecake cool off inside with the oven door cracked for one hour is also a good crack deterrent.

Question 3

What kind of lemons are best for this recipe?

Accepted Answer

You can use any kind of lemons you prefer. We chose Meyer lemons for this recipe because they are more floral than others, but regular lemons will work too. It just depends on the flavor you are going for. Myer lemons are a little bit sweeter than regular lemons.
