Should cheesecake be jiggly when baked?

Yes, cheesecake should be slightly jiggly in the center when baked. This is because the cheesecake will continue to cook and set as it cools. If it is completely solid when you remove it from the oven, it will likely be overbaked and dry.

Here's a simple test to check if your cheesecake is done:

* The center should still be slightly jiggly. It shouldn't be completely loose, but shouldn't be rock solid either.

* The edges should be set. The cheesecake will be firm around the edges.

* The top should be golden brown. This is a sign that the cheesecake is cooked through.

Important note: While a slight jiggle is normal, a very wobbly cheesecake is likely underbaked. If the cheesecake is very jiggly, bake it for a few more minutes until it starts to firm up.
