Cooking Tip
Paring Knife and Cake Server
For perfect slices of pie, use a very sharp paring knife to cut slices through to the pie pan, and a metal cake server to slip under individual pie pieces and lift them out.

Cooking Tip
Cream Cheese

Available in most supermarkets in blocks of 3 and 8 ounces, cream cheese is also available in low-fat, no-fat, herbed, soft, and whipped varieties. There is even cheesecake ready cream cheese that you simply fill a graham cracker crust with and chill before serving.
