Don't be tempted to insert a knife in the center because the hole could cause cheesecake to crack. Cheesecakes that are refrigerated while still hot or warm should not be covered. Why? If covered before they are completely cool, moisture will condense and drip onto the top of the cheesecake, making it quite wet. Cover only after cheesecakes are completely cooled.
