We talked about this on the phone...but I'll post it here for others. Maxwell House, Hill's Bros and some store brands come in metal cans. These come in handy...so if you find them, save a few. I don't know why you also couldn't use foil bread pans...same concept, but you might need to check the cooking time. I know the foil pans I buy to bake my pumpkin bread in, for gifts, are small enough to fit in my big crockpot. Worth a try!
