If there are lumps in your cheesecake, will they smooth out in the baking process?

Question

when i poured the batter into the pan, there were still lumps. will the heat of oven while baking cause the lumps to melt and smooth out?

Answer 1

No - the cream cheese should be soft and beaten smooth before anything else is added.  Some recipes also call for actually straining the batter before use so that you get rid of any lumps.  In future, beat the batter until all lumps are gone.  Room temp ingredients including the eggs really helps this mix well.

Answer 2

you have to beat the egg yolks before adding it to the mixture.

Answer 3

No

Answer 4

no, you will have lumps after baking, try using a kitchenaide to mix it...it makes it creamy and lump free...or a hand mixter to beat out the lumps.  Mix dry things in one bowl and wet in another...also beat your eggs good before mixing all together.

Answer 5

beat your eggs!!!!!
