I just finished enjoying this cheesecake! The only thing I did different was add water to the crock pot which janepesos suggested. It set perfectly...not sure what all the other people did for it to not come out..I followed the recipe exactly...and it came out great!...Even with or without the Peach sauce. Thanks!!

I made this last night, with some minor modifications, lol and it turned out TOTALLY AWESOME! First, I used cream cheese instead of ricotta. I knew beforehand I only liked ricotta in layered cakes or lasagna so why do that to myself. Second, while mixing the batter, I preheated my 6qt slow cooker w/locking lid (didn't need the paper towels because of the seal with my crock on high with a few cups of water in it. I would'nt just thow food into a cold oven to bake so why start with a cold crock. Once the batter was ready, I poured about 2 cups of the heated water into a small bowl, placed the bowl into the crock, poured the filling into the crust, and let the pie cook for 2hrs, UNDISTURBED. I also used 1 lb of fresh strawberries instead of peaches (not in season yet for the topping with the zest & juice of 2 lemons. Still kind of iffey about the peaches. Never had cheesecake with them, but I'll give it a shot next month when they are in season. I figured if whomever wrote this recipe was anyone remotely similar to me while cooking, did have a cocktail or 2 while in process. So I fully understood how some steps may have been left out,lol. But for the most part it comes down to following ANY recipe you get from anywhere with someone elses tastes & habits. It's like duh and or hola, gotta tweak it up to your tastes & practices. And put your own foot in it! So thank you Sandra, I now have MY own cheesecake recipe to flaunt for my fast food drive thru dinner girlfriends and to make with my kids. ;~

I made this one last night and was very disappointed. It cooked better for me without the paper towels. I had them on for about 2 1/2 hours and then took them off and it set up in about a half hour after I did that. The texture was grainy, and I had that ricotta working for about 5 minutes. The flavor was....interesting. It tasted like very sweet oranges with a horrible texture. My husband usually eats anything, even things he doesn't like, and he still didn't eat this one. Don't waste your time and leave the ricotta for lasagne.

Using the slow cooker is so much better than heating the oven. Those reviewers who compained that it didn't work need to stop whining. We live in Tucson where foods like this are off the table for the next FOUR months.

If you don't use quality ricotta it has more liquid, so use your judgement and drain some off or adjuts your recipe. Also, the recipe clearly explains that water needs to be added to the ceramic bowl. (All crock potting requires water guys. If you have trouble cooking - don't keep pulling the lid off, and be sure the lid is sealing. Which is why we add the paper towels.

I am here to say I love this, and I will be using this method for my key lime and other custard pies. Sandra, you have helped a big family (with four little kids, a mom with MS and an unemployed Vet have a little sweetness too.

Sandra has always gotten my criticizm for using ingredients in Semi-Homemade that my family simply couldn't afford. This show, however, is spot on for what I need.

Recipes in this show are affordable, and accessible.

I read the reviews and STILL decided to make this recipe, and it turned out bad. It was very grainy and gritty, even my kids didn't want it, they liked the peach topping. I followed the directions exactly. I made it in the oven, it will fit in my slow cooker but the reviews said it didn't really turn out, still next time I will listen to the reviews!

I cooked this for 1 1/2 hours, and the filling was still cold.. then it dawned on me you need liquid in the slow cooker.. which the instructions did not mention, I have to take some of the blame knowing that, but it should have been in the instructions. When you make anything in the slow cooker liquids are always called for.. when I re-read the instructions, I noticed that the oven method called for liquid.. I cooked it again for another 1 1/2 hours and it is set, and hopefully it will taste good.. the ingredients are good. So those of you who may have had problems with the Slowcooker, may have done what I did.. failed to add liquid.

Sandra must have done cocktail time before scribbling this mess. We're coming up on 2.5 hours in the slow cooker, and it's coating the back of a spoon. Tastes pretty good, hence 2 stars.
