Best Temperature For Baking Cheesecakes?

I really like baking and cheesecakes are desserts i really like doing but the baking temperature is usually a problem. In the past when i cook say a cappuccino cheesecake at gas mark 3 (160/170 degrees) browning seems to happen really quickly and eventually leaves slightly burnt unappealing bits on the cheesecake but if i do it at a lower temperature which is usually gas mark 2 (150 degrees) It takes forever and browning eventually happens. So what is the best tempertaure for cheesecakes generally? Thanks for the help.

I always do mine at 300 degrees which would be equivalent to your gas mark 2 (150). When I did the conversion it was 149 degrees. It takes about an hour but I always have perfect cheesecakes with no cracks!! Some things are worth waiting for!!

Do gas mark 2, and also put it in a water bath to avoid cracking. When the cake is almost cooked through, turn the heat off and let the cake sit in the oven until the oven cools, so the change in temperature doesn’t crack the cake, plus, it’s still cooking in the middle. Then, let it sit in the water bath for another 30 minutes, again, because it’s still cooking.

The best cheesecake recipe is Tyler Florence’s Ultimate Cheesecake, found on the foodnetwork.com page.

I try it around 155 then…im not sure how yours will work because i dont use a gas mark. Also i rather have a slightly burnt. I think it tastes very good when it is slightly brown.
Thanks
