For the first time ever I prebaked the crust for the holiday cheesecake. Ten minutes at 325F. It made a big difference. The crust was more cookie-like and less crumbly than when it wasn't pre-baked. I'm going to prebake from now on.

Since getting Junior's cheesecake cookbook, I've been using a spongecake crust and, of course, that is pre-baked.
