Dear Lynette,

You can divide regular size cheesecake recipes into smaller pans. This recipe should help you with timing. Once you've made these and see how they look during and after baking it will be easier for you to convert other recipes. Regarding being precise in baking, baking times can vary depending on the oven, pan sizes, and other factors so you can't always rely on the time given in the recipe as the exact time to remove a dish from the oven. Don't be afraid to experiment!

Happy Baking,

Betsy
