Cheesecake help?

[Guest guest]

I made a peppermint cheesecake for Christmas and the taste got great reviews

-- it was WONDERFUL!! I'll post my recipe separately.

 

Here's my problem: the thing cracks every time I make it!! I read somewhere

that you should let it cool in the oven, with the oven, to make it cool more

slowly, and that will work. (Of course, I forgot that idea when I was baking

it). Does that work? Any other tips to prevent cracking a cheesecake? It did

not crack in the oven, just while cooling.

 

Thanks!
