Based on what I've read in the forums and books, using trivets, is it possible to cook two cheesecakes in one of the larger pots?
Multiple cheesecakes in one pot?

Yes, this is called the Tiered cooking method, and its one of the best kept secrets
of pressure cookery. In the past, pressure cookers came with an assortment of cooking pans that allowed cooks to stack several different foods that could then
be cooked all at the same time... two and three course meals were very common.
So you can stack your pans and cook more than one cheesecake, or mix any combination of other recipes and foods that share a similar cooking time. The cooking time remains the same, but you will see a slightly longer time for pressurization and depressurization while all the additional food heats and cools. |

Okay, I tried it. Took a couple of attempts. I have a Fagor 10qt Splendid. The first try everything came out fine, but the lower cheesecake was a little under-done in the middle. After I adjusted my trivets to allow more space between the two cheesecakes (and a little less foil) to get even exposure to steam from all sides of the pans, second try came out with two good cheesecakes. It did take longer to reach pressure. Two simple recipes came out fine. (Key lime and Chocolate) Thanks, now I have a strategy for holiday invites... |

Cooking racks are so useful for stacking layers when using the Tiered Cooking Method. I'm glad your cheese cakes turned out so well. Don't forget that
you can freeze them -- either whole or sliced -- after they have cooled, and enjoy a treat whenever you want.
