Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To quickly soften cream cheese, remove from wrapper, and place on microwavable plate; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds or just until softened.
  • tip 2
    To make cutting cheesecake easier, dip a sharp straight-edge knife in warm water, and dry it each time you slice.
