Aunty,
You are using what tin size and at what temperature do you bake it? If using microwave oven, do we still need to use water-bath? thanks!
Hi delia,
use a 7" round springform tin and use 160C for baking cheesecake in water bath.
I've not tried using microwave oven to steam bake but I think you can opt to use or not to. Using steam bake to bake your cheesecake helps to keep it moist and soft.
Frankly, I always prefer to steam bake / water bath all my baked cheesecakes.
