Do you ever do this? for chessccakes?

Yes, some cheesecakes are supposed to be baked like this.  You can do it the cheap/easy way and use a disposable 9X13 pan.  Just be careful not to let the water splash into the cheesecake when putting it into and taking it out of the oven.

Yes. By me, some of them are actually made that way. I was told it prevents it from cracking.

I wasn't aware that it's a specific baking technique though.
