Have baked Brown Bread in the cans that purchased brown bread came in.

What else do you bake in the slow cooker if anything? The older leaflet
(came with the first slow cooker) said cakes etc could be baked in
coffee cans. The newer leaflet (for the present slow cooker) says cakes
can only be baked in their special 'accessory', which looks remarkably
like a...coffee can.
