21. So, don't over-do-it.
22. Pour the mixture in the spring-form pan and bake until the center is set (The top of the cheesecake will be glossy while baking.
23. When the luster of the center begins to dull, it is ready.

25. Allow the cheesecake to cool enough to handle the pan without oven-mits and place in the refrigerator at least 4 hours.
