San Sebastian Cheesecake Convectional oven

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Todor Georgiev.

Welcome to the Scoolinary community! Thank you for your question.

Yes, you can use your convection oven (with the fan), but some adjustments are needed because the fan generates more heat and can affect the baking process. Here’s what I recommend:

Lower the temperature: Reduce the oven temperature to around 190°C or even 185°C, as the heat circulates faster with the fan.

Monitor the time: Start checking the cheesecake about 5 minutes earlier than the suggested baking time (around 20 minutes) to make sure it doesn’t brown too quickly.

Protect the top: If you notice that it’s browning too soon, you can gently cover the top with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.

Check the texture: The center of the cheesecake should still have a slight “jiggle” when you take it out of the oven, as it will continue to set while cooling.

With these adjustments, you should achieve excellent results.

I hope this information helps!

Best regards.
