And, your cheesecakes don't crack? From my experience beating a mixture to make a cheesecake will make it crack whereas mixing it with a large spoon won't...

As for the topic at hand, microwave foods are convenient. But, not ever "good."

i have never heard of this. i'll hafta try a spoon next time. that's a good tip.

my cheesecakes rarely crack because i make sure to bake them in a water bath and not open the oven door until they are done. as far as my knowledge goes it is moisture from the water bath that helps prevents cracking. i also make sure not to overbeat the mixture, just enough to blend the eggs. so far i have had good luck.
