How to.... Make the perfect lining for a cheesecake

When making cheesecakes there are a couple of ways to line the tin depending on what type you are making they are:

• For a full base with sides - I like to use either foil or coat sides in butter using a piece of baking paper.


• For a base only - Line base with baking paper, grease sides and then cover with baking paper.

The best tins for cheesecakes are non-stick Springform. This enables you to easily get the cheesecake out, you can just release the clip and as you slide the cheesecake off the tin peal the paper of base and balance cheesecake with your hand while sliding onto serving platter. This may sound tricky but works well for solid based cheesecakes.

Tips:

• Use a muffin tray for individual cheesecakes - use two strips of baking paper to make cross pattern on base of each muffin hole. This forms a handle for when u want to get them out all you need to do is run a warm knife around the edge first if they are sticking.
