Cheesecake Baking 101

from Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens Hosted by Staci Perry Mergenthal

After more than 20 years, the most common questions I get are about baking cheesecakes—like how to know when it’s ready to come out of the oven, what causes cheesecake to crack, how to remove it from the springform pan, how to store it, and how long it should thaw before serving it. In this episode, I share my tips for making cheesecake at home—from the casual and easy ways of making it in a cake pan, mason jars, and cupcake papers to the fancier springform pan for elegant slices, and mini cheesecake pans for adorable individual desserts. If you are already a cheesecake baker, hopefully you’ll hear a suggestion or two that are helpful. If you’ve been too intimidated to try making cheesecake, I hope this episode will give you the confidence to give it a try. Because it’s pretty simple, and unless the cheesecake comes out runny, you can always scoop it into balls, dip them in chocolate, and impress people with cheesecake pops! And for those of you who don’t bake, it would be fun if you listen anyway because you never know when you might have an opportunity to impress someone with your in-depth knowledge of cheesecake making.

The Sculptor's Funeral Jason Arkles The Sculptor's Funeral is the only podcast dedicated to figurative sculptors living and working today. Art history, tech talk, news, and interviews for those working in the Western European tradition of figurative sculpture, along with a social media forum and listener mail/questions/comments make this podcast required listening for any sculptor who knows the Fine Arts aren't dead, they just smell a little funny. Unreserved Wine Talk Natalie MacLean The Unreserved Wine Talk podcast features candid conversations with the most fascinating people in the wine world. Your host, award-winning journalist Natalie MacLean, dives into how it feels to compete in the nerve-wracking World's Best Sommelier Competition, the shadowy underground of wine forgery, the zany tactics of a winemaker who hosted a funeral for cork, and more. Nestled in these colourful stories are practical tips on how to choose wine from a restaurant list, pair it with food and spot great values in the liquor store.Every second episode, Natalie goes solo with an unfiltered, personal reflection on wine. She'll share with you how it feels to be a woman in what is still a largely male-dominated field, her gut reaction to the latest health study that says no amount of alcohol consumption is safe and her journey in writing her next book. She'll reveal these vulnerable, sometimes embarrassing, stories with tipsy wit and wisdom that she's soaked up from 20 years of writing abo Tales From the Fiber Side: Epic Fiber stories from history and myth Suzy Brown Arlene Thayer and Suzy Brown bring you a monthly episode of fiber stories! In each episode we dive down a story filled fibery rabbithole to bring you tales from the the past about fiber heroes, villains, mythical characters, and events that helped shape the fiber world as we know it. We obsessively bring up the fibery past to inspire you with lore and legends, real and mythical, that bring to life the inner lives of spinners, weavers, tapestry makers, and yarn making. This is the other side of fiber, a world in which pirates and privateers smuggle wool across the English channel, where womanly wartime spies knit secrets into garments and send vital information to their allies in their knitwear, where mythical beings monitor your spinning efforts throughout the year and bring judgement on your productivity, and also, well, we will have some fun chatting fluff and fiber!
