"I just finished making this and it turned out perfectly. I had not seen these reviews until afterward. I baked at 450 for the specified time just like the recipe says and had no problem with burning. Cheesecake is a very dense cake and I find it hard to believe that it would come out right at 350 degrees. But all ovens are not the same. Anyway, I'm happy - don't even have a crack in the top which I usually have with other cheesecakes I have made.
