Cook's Tips: To test cheesecake doneness, remove the pan from the oven and shake very gently-the cake should be set in the center and not wobbly.
To prevent discoloration of aluminum springform pans, line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper. Coat the paper with vegetable cooking spray. Mm Norma Wrenn
