Are You Using the Right Pan to Bake Your Bread?

Slow Cooker Swiss Steak--in white serving dish; ready-to-serve

Thank you to everyone who wrote in with slow cooker suggestions. Most of you shared models you’re using and loving, and I appreciated every single note. If I wasn’t familiar with a brand or model, I looked it up! It’s always more helpful to hear from real cooks than from some roundup article listing the “10 Best Whatevers,” especially when the author hasn’t even tried the products—or got them free in exchange for a glowing review. As I researched, I quickly realized that my needs might not be...
