Lazy woman's cheesecake strategies

[Guest guest]

Dawn:

I am incredibly lazy, to say nothing of cheap, and do not have a springform

pan, nor would I probably use it if I had one. You only need one if you plan

to unmold the cheesecake to serve it (so as to impress guests I s'pose.) I

use an ordinary cake or pie pan, whatever's handiest (told you I'm lazy),

and yes, the water bath is a good idea,then cut/serve the cheesecake just as

you would any other kind of cake. Hey, I'm lucky to just get the thing

made--fancy is out of the question!

Bon chance,

Trish
