Why make keto cheesecake in the instant pot?
The IP has a more stable and accurate temperature than the oven. This will allow us to be more consistent and duplicate this in the future. Instead of cooking in a water bath, the IP already has a water batch by default. Baking with the oven heats the house, but with the IP, it almost does not happen.
