Can I bake two cheesecakes in the oven at the same time?!
Will it effect the cooking time to bake two at once!? Is it better to bake them separately!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
If they will fit it is absolutely ok to bake two at the same time!. You might want to rotate each one half way through the cooking time!. This will distribute the heat a little better!. It might take a little longer to bake but not much!. Maybe five minutes!.

The problem is that the temperature in a conventional oven is not consistent!. Even without a convection oven, your cheesecake cooks primarily by convection — that is, the air in the oven is heated, flows around in the oven, and transfers heat to the cheesecake!. The temperature in the middle of the oven has the best chance of offering the most consistent temperature, which is why most recipes specify it!.
You certainly can cook two cheesecakes at once, but you have to be more attentive and take steps to help them cook evenly!. You want to disrupt the natural flow of air in the oven as little as possible!. That's why cookie recipes often tell you to keep the baking sheets as many inches as possible from the sides of the oven — they're so big, they block a lot of the air flow!.
I often put two cakes on the same oven rack!. I stagger them so one is toward the back and side and the other toward the front and the other side!. Halfway through the cooking time, switch them and rotate them a half turn, so that the edges that were close to the side and back are now somewhere in the center of the oven!. If you cook two pies on separate oven racks, also have them staggered so that the one on the bottom doesn't block much of the heat from reaching the top one!. And halfway through, move the bottom one to the top and the top one to the bottom, and rotate them, as well!.
It will not take much longer to cook one pie than two!. But they may not cook evenly, so you have to keep watch and rescue each as it is done, even if one takes 5 minutes longer than its mate!.

Just make sure that both pans will fit in your oven with plenty of room so the air can circulate and both pans need to have the same amount of filling so they will cook at the same temperature for the same amount of time!.

If they're on the same rack, it should work!. If you can't fit them both on the same rack, cooking them on separate racks may cause them to cook unevenly!. In that case, I would cook them separatelyWww@FoodAQ@Com
i would say one at a timeWww@FoodAQ@Com
