How do I stop my cheesecake from cracking?

Cooking and Cooling Cheesecake

Cool a cheesecake slowly on the counter with a large bowl or pot inverted over it to keep the environment warm and moist.

Also take care to grease the sides of the pan before filling it so that the cake lets go of the pan as it cools and shrinks instead of cracking in the center.

Baking the cheesecake in a water bath is also a powerful weapon against preventing cheesecakes from cracking.
