Run your mixer on low speed. You don’t want to incorporate a lot of air into the batter.

Pour boiling water in roasting pan halfway up the side of the springform pan make sure no water drip on the batter.Place in the oven and bake at 325 F for 1 hour and 45-55 minutes.When the cheesecake is baked let it sit in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour (don’t forget to turn off the oven!!!)Remove the cheesecake from the water bath, dry the bottom of the pan, run a thin knife around the edges to loosen the cake and let it cool to room temperature.
