Can anyone tell me how to make a cheesecake in a 9 x 13" sheet pan? I have a receipe that works very well for me. It has a gramcraker crust. I just want to make one big one for my Hubby's family Easter bash instead of 2 or 3 8" rounds, and I don't want to take my pan. I may never get it back. Still waiting for my glass pie dish from 2 Thanksgivings ago icon_mad.gif I always use a springform pan, but have seen on different Food Network shows that some use plane old round pans or square, then decorate them like a regular cake. How do they get them out of the pan with the crust and all intact? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Julisa

I am thinking that in a regular pan you would need to line the bottom and sides with parchment paper. Otherwise I am not sure how you would be able to get it out in one piece. Then I would think you would have to flip it out onto a parchment lined baking sheet and then flip onto your serving board so it is right side up. Just my best guess as I have never tried doing this myself.

Brush the pan with butter, then line it (sides and bottom) with parchment paper. Once the cheesecake has baked and cooled, dip the pan in hot water and flip the cheesecake out.
I've never done it like this, but that's how Alton Brown does it icon_smile.gif

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought I had seen where you line it with foil - long enough to hang over the sides. After it has baked and cooled, you just lift it out. Would that work?

OOOPs I forgot to ask if Alton Brown cooked his in a "water bath". I don't usually do this, but wonder if I should because of the size?

Alton Brown always uses the water bath, but I've only seen him make the regular rounds. It sure couldn't hurt. The times that I have used a water bath, I've had a lot more success. Particularly since you will be flipping this one out, you might be more at risk for cracks.

Did you mean cracks if I do use a water bath or not?

You're more likely to get cracks if you don't use the water bath. That's my experience, anyway.

OH. Thanks for all your wisdom.

I just found out that most of the people that were supposed to be at this shindig are now not comming. So, I won't have to make the sheet pan size. Oh well. At least now I know for later.

Thanks again

HI Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter. Ours went off with out a hitch. Weather was unseasonable cold and wet thumbsdown.gif. I made my cheese cake, topped it with Cherries, and everyone loved it. There was some left over for me to bring home icon_lol.gif . I glutonously sat in my recliner and ate it for dinner last night. Hummm...there goes the five pounds I lost during Lent. Oh well..Life is tooooo short, eat cake and be happy.
