"To avoid the cheesecake cracking on top, ensure when you turn off the oven you leave the cheese cake in there for about an hour (or overnight with the door open if it is a gas oven, again after the oven has been turned off). Also make sure you do not overcook the cheesecake - it should have a slight wiggle still in the centre at the point you turn the oven off; the cheesecake will continue cooking in the oven once it has been turned off and you do not want it to overcook, but nor do you want it to cook too quickly - this causes the wrinkles to happen on the cheesecake surface."
