By "any recipe", do you mean any cheese cake recipe or most recipes?
If it's most recipe, then why bother reading rfc?

I rarely if ever follow any recipe to the letter.

Why in the world would they use gelatin anyway? Cheesecake needs
no gelatin if it is made right and baked.


You need gelatine in an 'unbaked' cheesecake. I've got heaps of
unbaked cheesecake recipes and they all use gelatine, it's very
common here. Baked cheesecakes are a different thing altogether.

OK. I have never made a cheesecake that was no bake at all. It looks
good but I think I will make it by baking it and without the
gelatin.

Then it will be a completely different product.

Why not try it the way the recipe has it first? You never know, you
might even like it.

Mom used to prefer the gelatin type over baked. Maybe it's because
she didn't enjoy baking. Come to think of it, she made it in the
summertime.... so it was probably a kitchen heat thing (no air
conditioning, hot and humid climate).

the no bake style of cheesecake doesn't crack like the bake style is
prone to. Plus the not having to wrap in foil the springform pan and
placing in a water bath removes much intimidation.

I don't understand why anyone would be perturbed by those of us who
don't follow a recipe to the tee.

That's not what you said though.

Most recipes, period.

I read this to give me ideas of course. Why is it that you have a hard
time understanding that? It is no big deal. I have been cooking most
of my life and I rarely measure, except for baking certain things.
Some of us are just able to do such things. When I give a recipe to
someone I have to make the item a few times to make sure I have the
amounts and items correct for them. Don't get your bowels in an
uproar. It is just some of us cook and bake differently than others.
No big deal. ;-)

Dear GQ,

*I* am not upset or even annoyed so don't go patting yourself on the
back yet.

FYI: I don't bother with water baths when I bake cheesecake and I
don't have a problem with splitting.

it's just that some folks who don't 'follow recipes' seem to think of
themselves as better cooks, like a jazz musician sneering at the horn
section of a soul band.

Because a no-bake cheesecake is not a real cheesecake. I have yet to
taste a no-bake cheesecake that is worth anything at all.

The term "no-bake" implies a faked, shortcut version of a baked item.

No. Thy're just "different" desserts, that's all.

I
grew up with proper set cheesecakes; they are a dessert in their own
right and to compare them with baked ones is like apples and oranges.

Apples and oranges are both fruit, just different types. It's the
same with the cheesecakes. My husband prefers un-baked, My mother
prefers baked. I love both sorts.



Ya, that's pretty much what I was saying. I didn't express it very well
