those aren't holes
they're blueberries
they're freaking facebook out too, it keeps trying to tag dozens of faces in each picture

>>3948117
obvious shoop, much more subtle and creepier would be someone with big ugly blackhead and whitehead pores on their nose

Sounds like your oven is unevenly heated. Just rotate the cheesecake halfway through the cooking and you should be fine.

And yeah, like other anons said, those blueberries freak me out. I got goosebumps just looking at them.

its in a big roasting pan full of boiling water, sitting on a dish washer, how would I rotate it? which even if it were possibly would probably cause the layers of foil and gladwrap to unfold

Ya, you have a drafty oven door. slight airflow will 'draft' the heat (like a convection oven). rotate the pan 180 degrees halfway through cooking, you should be fine.

Real convection ovens are the bomb, I can air fry in mine

>how would I rotate it?
Carefully.

You don't have to rotate the water bath, just gently (GENTLY) rotate the spingform pan or whatever you use that the cheesecake is in.

What's the glad wrap for?

>>3948127
if you can't turn the pan the other way around, you have problems.

>>3948137
anything I can do about fixing oven door?

>>3948139
prevents water in the water bath leaking in naturally

>>3948142
its a great big pan

>>3948146

>>3948146
Just rotate the fucking roasting pan.

>>3948143
It should have a heat resistant fiber or cloth gasket on the door to seal the cooking cavity

>>3948145
Ah, I see it now. Very interesting.

Might I suggest just putting the water bath on the bottom rack, and then putting your cheescake on the rack above it?

It doesn't necessarily have to be sitting in water.

>>3948108
dude fucking same ;_;

>>3948158
everything I've ever read or seen since discovering I have to do it this way puts the cheesecake in the bath

baking cheese cakes in waterbaths... just bake them at 80 degrees or so for 5 hours and u get the browning with no crack

>>3948160
THe proximity of the water shouldn't be that much of a deal.
Just stick the pan with the water on the bottom rack. If you absolutely cant do that, just rotate the pan you've got the cheesecake in. The water doesn't need to move with it.

Also, can you stop being such a stubborn cock about advice? You started this thread to get answers, and you just keep shooting them down.

>>3948157
I think there already is

>>3948164
>rotate the pan
so I take out a giganic heavy thing full of hot water turn it around and put it back in
the water will slosh about and burn me or the cake pan will move about

>>3948107
Also placing the baked item high or low in the oven makes a huge difference (top rack or bottom)

>>3948174
Dude I just told you to NOT take out the whole pan. Just rotate the little pan that the cheesecake is in. Leave the water bath as it is.

Although to be fair, unless you're really rough/way too impatient, you probably could take out the whole roasting pan/cheesecake thing, rotate it, and be fine.

Captcha Iesoloc ignorant

>>3948179
rotating the cake pan would probably cause all the foil and gladwrap to unfold

>>3948174

It's only heavy if you're a bitch. Do it carefully and stop complaining about our simple solution that gets the job done. Or next time use a lighter dish. Hurp a derp derp.

>>3948174
... I made a helpful diagram, you dumb fuck.

>>3948178
so would bottom wrack next time be better?

Lotus boob caek.

>>3948184
Bottom be a slower cook, Top = quicker to brown/burn. So it depends what you're after

creepy lotus breast cake. having flashbacks of 2003...
