NOTES: Tips for the perfect cheesecake:
1. All ingredients should be room temperature before you begin your
   cheesecake recipe.
2. To prevent cracking, cool cheesecake completely in pan on a wire
   rack before placing in the refrigerator.
3. To cut cheesecake more easily, dip a sharp knife in very hot water
   and shake off excess before slicing.
