Tracy Cooks In Austin: Mini Pressure Cooker Cheesecake In Jars by tracycooksinaustin.com

I have been doing cheesecakes in jars, all sorts of pies in jars actually, forever. Run around the side with a tiny knife, being sure you’re all the way at the bottom to release the crust too, loosen the cake from the jar. There you go, mini cheesecake in a jar in the pressure cooker. I would like to know if it should be cooked at high or low pressure. I would just serve them straight from the jar, with some cherry pie filling on top! I would be hesitant to expect anything with eggs in it to be shelf stable. Thanks for being safe and promoting safety in all you do! Does the water touch the jars, just doesn’t go to the surface or does the water absolutely not touch the jars? Tried your recipe but they didn’t turn out as pretty as yours. I see people talking about the “new” trend, seriously? Pressure cook jars on trivet, over 2 cups water for 7 minutes. Instead of using foil, why can’t you put on the rings and lids loosely? Would one of these little jars per person be a good amount? You can put jars in, put a sheet of foil loosely over them and put another trivet on those and put another layer 🙂 good luck! The risk of food poisoning would be far to high to even consider it. Do you think it’s because my cream cheese was too cold? Did you omit the lemon juice when you made it with pumpkin?

If you like the taste of lemon with poultry, try slicing a lemon and inserting the slices under the skin, to be removed after baking.
