Cheesecake

I've decided the next thing I want to learn how to make, is cheesecake.
I'm looking for a good place to start, a recipe for a fairly simple cheesecake. Thinking something along the style of a New York cheesecake.
I know there are a lot of multi-layer decadent options out there that I hope to get to... but I figure it would be easier to start learning on a more straight-forward, simple idea.
Looking for everything from a recipe, to how-tos, to tools needed, etc. Assume I am a complete newbie and know nothing, because I am!

Good springform pan. Even with a good one, it's a good idea to wrap it in heavy duty foil so water doesn't seep into the cake while it bakes.
Don't overmix, and don't mix above medium speed. You don't want air being incorporated into the batter or it won't set correctly. Beat eggs in one at a time.
I've used this recipe and it's fine a simple cheesecake.

Take any basic cheesecake recipe you can find on the internet.
Use a water bath. Place the springform pan in a basting pan and fill with about an inch of water. It will say to wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil, but even with two layers, water will seep in through tiny cracks when the foil is wrinkled and make your crust soggy. I finally found a way around that - buy some slow cooker plastic liners and wrap that around the bottom of the springform pan.
To keep the top from cracking, at the end of baking, turn off the oven, crack the door, and place a pan over the top of the springform pan. This helps even the cooling process.
I use Biscoff cookies instead of graham crackers to make the crust. So much better!
Here's a good basic recipe:

Awesome tip! I will try that next time I make one.

Spring form pan. Bake in water and wrap bottom in foil. 1000 different recipes on line. Don't get impatient , make sure the oven isn't cooking hot. ( That is calibrated to correct temperature). Low and slow w cheesecake.

9" springform pan.
Key is letting it cool in the oven still in a water bath with the door cracked.
I just made my first one, followed Joshua Weissmans recipe and it was honestly delicious. Only change I made was sour cream instead of creme Fraiche.
