Cheesecake Success Tip

Be sure to refrigerate cheesecakes several hours or overnight before serving. Run a thin knife around the inside edge before removing pan rim.

For ease in cutting, use a knife that has been immersed in hot water and dried or a long strand of unflavored dental floss (stretch taut, press through to bottom of cake and pull out).
