@antichef I've told you this many times, in fact, every time the recipe is clearly confusing. I've started calling it Jaimie 's Cookbook Editor Fixate, that look you get when stuck in the middle of the recipe and the instructions aren't making sense. You would be super good at editing and valuable to a publisher.

[@elizabethhowe2110]

If you do use the springform pan, you have to be sure to have tin foil wrapping the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Otherwise, the water from the Ban Marie seeps in from the bottom and ruins the cheesecake.

[@imstillmata3675]

What cracks me up about these comments is there's an online video of Martha making his exact cheesecake. She does not use a springform pan, she literally dusts the pan with a tiny bit of almond meal and discards the rest of the 1/4 lb, and she creates citrus zest using stationary microplane on the bottom and moving the fruit. She does not demonstrate how she removed the cheesecake from the traditional cake pan. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ (if you want to watch the video, google: Martha Stewart cheesecake zest lemon orange)

Did I miss the orange in this recipe? Also, you know she didn't show the one in the normal cakepan, because she had the same issue and didn't own up to it. Also, throwing away expensive almond as part of her recipe? Typical MS. Do I sound like I can't stand her? Spot on!

I was obsessed with Martha Stewart as a child and I got to meet her a few years ago and became even more obsessed. If she puts 1/4 lb. of almonds in a recipe she would have wanted you to use every crumb. She doesn’t ever waste anything. If you watch her shows you can see she will scrape every bowl and use every remnant of an ingredient she meticulously prepared in advance.

I used to watch cooking shows religiously as a kid (more than cartoons or anything) and it was hardwired into me by almighty Queen Martha to scrape everything out of the bowl.

The comment section of your videos reminds me of going to church with my grandparents as a kid. If you are standing in the parking lot all those nice people smiling and talking are a bit of nostalgia. But as you get closer you begin to hear all the ladies picking apart all the food that was brought and everything the ladies are wearing and the sermon and the local and comparing notes on who has the worst kids. Meanwhile the men just talk about directions, fishing and sports. I miss those days though. Great food and lots of good stories.

[@davidwelch8288]

A little tip on hulling strawberries for sauce, etc. I also just cut off the top of the strawberries if I'm just making a sauce for me. But to completely hull a strawberry which will make the sauce darker red and more flavorful, take out the center also (like coring and apple). The white has no flavor so it dillutes the strawberry flavor. It also pales the redness of the sauce. The easiest way to do it is to use a wide straw (or standard straw for small strawberries). I use those sturdy reusable plastic straws and have normal and wide ones that I use for different things. One last little tip. When using this straw technique, don't worry about shaking or knocking out the strawberry core from the straw each time you core/hull one. Just keep them in and they'll work their way up the straw and pop out on their own! OK one more tip (and the last one, I promise!) Embrace non-stick cooking spray as one of your best friends and savior while baking. If you are baking a cheesecake in a non-springform pan which you'll have to turn out on to a plate as you did, spray the sides with the cooking spray. If you are using a non-stick coated pan, don't use it. It contains soy lecithin which will build up on the non-stick surface over time. (Sorry, I'm a baking science geek).

Incorrect. Not so. Not ever. Not even. Martha Stewart made this on one of her programs and did exactly what he did, she only dusted the pan. So, now you realize he followed the recipe correctly, yet you would have second guessed Martha and screwed it up.

[@KevinFeeley_KHF]

The texture and density of the cheesecake (and any other custard) can be improved by rapping the mixing bowl on the counter a few times after mixing, then transferring the mixture to the refrigerator for an overnight rest. This allows for the tiny bubbles integrated into the mixture during mixing to rise out. This results in a creamier, denser custard at the end of baking. And get yourself a spring-form pan. It's a pretty fundamental tool for making cheesecakes.

[@dameannemac]

Remember, parchment paper is your friend. You are so much fun to watch.

[@signalflare3791]

6 minutes in, and it seems to me that the 1/4 pound of almond is expected to comprise the crust of the cheesecake. Im guessing that because you left the crust off, then the cake will be overdone.

[@antichef]

oops...classic

[@signalflare3791]

I stand corrected on the cake, I do still think the almond was supposed act as a "crust" though.

[@AlphaHorst]

​@@signalflare3791 well the cake was a bit overdone, but taht was because of the baking temps and times. It should not show any pores when sliced, it should still be creamy silky. Usually you would bake the cake for 15 to 20 minutes at somewhere between 190-220°C and then another 1h at 130-160°C. If done correctly it will seperate from your buttered form on the sides and then fully bake and rise (it will shrink down again but might overflow if stirred to much) making removal from any form rather easy. If you want a crust you either use the flat forms which get wider or a spring form, because there is no way you will be able to remove a cake with a crust in what Jamey used and then be able to flip it around afterwards to have the crust at the bottom.

[@stpaley]

i had the same thought too but then he inverted the cheesecake so if he used all the ground almonds the crust would be on top so i don't know unless i used a springform, all of this is guesswork on my part

[@AlphaHorst]

@stpaley well he was to coat the sides and bottom, so in his case it would cover the entire cake once flipped like an icing.

[@davidwelch8288]

This is regarding some discussions about springform leakage even with aluminum foil wrap. I learned a cool trick on America's Test Kitchen regarding how to keep water from seeping in even when using aluminum foil wrapped around the springform in a bain-marie. If you love to bake and have several sizes of various types of baking pans, (I have 3 sizes of springforms), use (or buy) a round cake pan one inch larger than the springform. The springform will fit in to the cake pan perfectly so when you place them into the bain-maire, zero leakage! If you already have 9 inch cake pans and an 8 inch springform, you're all set. They make 10 inch cake pans (and larger) if you have a 9 inch (or larger) springform. If you don't bake much but still wanna be assured you won't have leakage, you don't have to buy an expensive cake pan if this is all you're going to use it for. You can get a simple aluminum 9 or 10 inch cake pan for $10 on Amazon. It is truly worth the investment! I saw someone's comment about new silicone wraps for springforms. That sounds cool too! Didn't know those existed!

Jamie! The quarter pound of almonds were supposed to be pressed into the bottom of the cake pan in lieu of crumb crust. That's why it's such a large amount.

SUGGESTION: Paint the wall with the Order Up sign on it, like a previous commenter suggested a couple of weeks ago. I hope you're loving your new kitchen. It just lacks the warmth your home kitchen had. Love ya, man!

I never thought of Martha as a 'homemaker' in the traditional sense, I knew that she began in the culinary world as a caterer, and you can see her make a wedding cake on a Julia Child and chef episode. The only time I've seen Martha just stunned being with another person.

I learned something about squeezing a lemon in one of those contraptions. You flip the lemon half so the peel is facing down and the cut part faces up. That will get more juice out of the lemon

I'd love to see a video where you use all the cooking experience you've gained to make your own high-class dish! Love your videos as always ❤

I LOVE MARTHA!!!!! I used to hurry home to watch her show after school....great memories! Favorite tip I like to tell people that I learned from Martha - When draining the noodles from and hot water into the colander in the sink, pour so that you can lean over the steam and get a mini facial!!! NO LIES! She said it, and I've been doing it ever since!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OK instead of graham cracker crust, you could take almonds grind them up with sugar and butter and whatever and do that as a crust. just thinking outside the box

If that was available for online orders, I bet I wouldn't be the only one buying your cheesecake with strawberry sauce. My gosh that looks amazing, Jamie. YUM.

Please try Martha Stewart’s strawberry shortcake. I lost the recipe from her magazine Everyday Food but it was superb. Plus I need the recipe again! 😂

[@elnamayberry]

With your sauce, it looks lovely and so yummy!!! You really shouldn't start editing amounts in a recipe until you've made it at least once following the recipe completely! Then you can change and adjust to suit your own tastes. 😀 If you follow all the suggestions and use a spring form pan next time, make sure to wrap the outside in foil before you place it in a ban marie - sometimes spring forms leak. And a good thing it didn't really have a crust since you're serving it upside down. We live and learn.

I have to admit I thought getting the cake out of the pan was gonna be a classic Jamie disaster.. Well done Sir... I would never have thought of using a butene torch to do it! Learn something new every day..!

[@ajwigg]

Maybe the almonds were supposed to be at the bottom, too, as a crust. That would explain why it's a 1/4 pound. 🤷‍♀

[@remainingembers]

Holy crap I just mentioned hoping to see a Martha recipe sometime on the last video lol. Fun to see! I don't think I've personally seen her recipes tested, but I could be forgetting.

😂😂 you were looking sooooooo professional until the cake wouldn’t drop. You hysterical. Never change. Love from IRELAND 🇮🇪
