Default Cheesecake Inquiry....

How can i make my cheesecake look taller (bakery style)?. Once i changed the springform pan from size 10'' to 9" but it did not make a big diffrence. i also tried to double the crust and got awet crust because of the butter.

Any good advice?

And is it true that the chesecake pan should not be greased?

Put more batter in the pan. Yes, it should be greased!

Default Cheesecake Inquiry

ALTAF:
Good Morning. My suggestion for your consideration is if you wish to double the thickness of the crust I would pre-bake the crust. I will not advise you on how to do that as I am sure you know the technique. Another option is to place a layer of somewhat dry pineapple on top of the crust & then pour your custard on top.
Altaf, I would like to mention to you why your cdouble crust application ended up wet & runny. As you know when baking a cheesecake (It is not a cake... It is a custard), You do so on a low temp. The butter in the dough before it was able to coagulate it began to melt & did not coagulate fully. I propose to you to refriderate the crust dough before applying same in your baking pan & when completed repeat same for 15 minutes. This way when the heat hits the dough it will begin to coagulate sooner before it has a chance to melt. This technique should be applied in anything we bake especially cookies if we do not wish for them to spread. Good luck my friend & I hope I was able to provide some insight for your cause today.
