(: Glad that the recipe was of help. Yes, the oven was probably too hot. I found out recently that my oven's temperature is much lower than what I set using the dial after buying an oven thermometer. Instead of baking this cheesecake at 160C, then lowering to 150C, I would suggest baking it at 140C, then lowering to 130C. This way, it shouldn't dry out the water bath that quickly as well. I'll be amending the recipe. Thanks for the heads up! chr,

You could leave the cream of tartar out if you can't find it. It's just a stabiliser for the egg whites. (: Emma,
