I use a heavy bottomed stainless steel Cuisinart pot with a glass
lid. I've used my Tramontina dutch oven but the Cuisinart stainless
steel does a better job IMHO. The bread comes out perfect in it.
You can also use the ceramic insert out of your crock pot if it has a
glass lid. I used that at fist and it works great, but I like my
stainless steel best.
