I have used this recipe since I was in my early 20. I love it. It's funny I got the book as a special gift to myself. I had to put it on layaway. I love he recipe it has always worked. I don't cook it as long as the book says.

The Best! I am 69 years old and have been an avid cook and baker for a long time. I have baked many cheesecakes but since I found this recipe in Martha's book ( ENTERTAINING) umpteen years ago, I have not bothered to try any other recipe. This cheesecake is, not only the easiest to make, but the purest, creamiest - it is perfect.

This recipe is magnificent! 20+ years ago I made a few bad cheesecakes. I've been scared to try another one for fear of over or under cooking it. I followed the directions exactly except mine baked 1 hr 55 min. The texture is perfect! That it is crustless makes it very luxurious. I'm a huge fan of my 8 by 3 inch cake pan. Now I love it even more since I can make cheesecake in it. (I did line the bottom of the pan with parchment to help the cake come out easily.)

The best! My family memebers insisted upon the recipe - a first! I used a regular cheesecake pan, foil wrapped, in the water bath and took it out after 1 hour, 20 min. I will make this again and do the same timing, it was wonderful.

Best Cheese Cake I have ever made!!! A+++

you really don't need a crust with this. after it is baked and completely cooled the top is solid and acts like a crust when it is inverted. Mine came out perfect and was delicious!

Has anyone made this cheesecake with a crust? I'm having trouble imagining a cheesecake without a crust : /

Love this recipe, and the idea of cheesecake for Easter! Combined it with this to make it vegan http://www.fourgreensteps.com/community/recipes/desserts-a-goodies-/vegan-cheesecake

Cheesecake was very delicious! I baked mine for 1 h 45 min, and I thought I overbaked it for sure. It had such large cracks on top. I've made many cheesecakes, and I've never had such large cracks before. However, after it cooled, the cracks "healed." The texture was absolutely perfect, so I'm glad that I didn't bake it for less time. I did have a difficult time dumping it out of the pan, but after some praying and pushing the bottom of the pan with my thumbs, it finally slid out.
