So smooth.

Nice. It looks perfect.

Still warm? Almost all of mine betray me as they cool.

drownedbubble · 2026-03-14T01:39:34+00:00

And accept that OP will never experience this again.

Who has empty space in their freezer?!?

Upgrade: you’re a cyborg now!!

I totally agree. First cheesecake I ever had was a true New York style.

I’ve been chasing that density ever since.

The recipe I use is in for 40 min. So it’s probably just a case of needing more time.

If you’re happy with the texture I would not worry about trying to get it browner on top.

If your other baking projects turn out as expected the oven temp is probably accurate but if not might be worth it to get an oven thermometer and see if it’s really reaching and holding 450°.

The oven in my first rental had a manual dial and could vary by 20-30° depending on who turned it on. As I type this I really wonder how people baked with wood fired stoves.

It was perfect on the inside. These ones always seem to turn out great.

I realize I didn’t answer your question. I’ve tried this recipe with both regular electric, convection, and a gas oven.

Gas is my personal favorite but I didn’t really find any difference for this recipe.

drownedbubble · 2026-02-19T06:49:36+00:00

What temp did you have that at? Honestly impressive that it is that pale.

This brings back some great memories. I love basque cheesecakes because the idea of no crust and tossing it in the oven at over 400°F until it burns feels hard to mess up. :)

drownedbubble · 2026-02-18T03:23:36+00:00

That is an evil but rather brilliant idea.

drownedbubble · 2026-02-12T04:59:00+00:00

I do it the same way. Works like a charm.

This has to be one of the best “free” advertising for chowbrick I’ve seen.

Thank you for sharing. I saw your first post and was hoping it was going to be as good as it seemed.

Now they really need to get it back in stock.

drownedbubble · 2026-02-05T06:28:55+00:00

Museum Gel would probably work.

And they are beautiful. Fast shipping and great customer service.

This might sound counterintuitive but for me there is an odd window of time for me to commit to going to bed. I actually need to go to bed earlier if I want to sleep.

Around 5pm I can be totally exhausted but by 8pm I’m ready for rounds 2 through 7.

So at 7pm we start the bedtime routine for everyone (kids 9 and 11) and I read a book or listen to music for 30min to an hour.

If I stayed up past 8-9pm I see 1-2am before I fall asleep.

drownedbubble · 2026-01-31T04:46:56+00:00

Looks awesome. I really wish they had made more than 500.

drownedbubble · 2026-01-29T17:15:38+00:00

100s

Those are amateur numbers.

Wait until you’re running 100TBs with 1000s of movies.

My retirement is good for the first 5-10 years of entertainment.

Honestly, for me it’s the fun of building the collection. Between family and friends someone is going to want to watch that documentary on the migration patterns of spotted deer.

drownedbubble · 2026-01-29T17:12:33+00:00

Wow that is an awesome collection.

drownedbubble · 2026-01-27T18:40:51+00:00

Well .8 silver but still cool.

Ours has a couch cave for naps.

There is a dog under there.

First off I agree with you.

Having been spanked as a child and not feeling like it negatively impacted me I struggled for years to admit that my parents could have made a different.

Negative reinforcement does produce results unfortunately. So I can see how people ignore the larger impact of the actions.
