Do I Need a “Rival Bread N’ Cake Bake Pan” for baking banana bread in my Crock Pot?

Question by bbfrog: Do I Need a “Rival Bread N’ Cake Bake Pan” for baking banana bread in my Crock Pot?
I want to make banana bread in my Crock Pot and the recipe asks for the Rival Bread N’ Cake Bake Pan. Well, Rival does not offer this anymore as far as I can see and I’d rather not purchase one if I could use another type of bread pan.

Does anyone know if my banana bread will still turn out if I just use a standard bake pan in my Crock Pot?

Best answer:

Answer by Clare
I don’t know about using a standard bread baking pan, but you can use a coffee can placed on a rack or trivet in your crock pot. I’ve also seen banana bread recipes for slow cookers calling for a new terra cotta flower pot! Here’s a recipe calling for a can:

Slow Cooker Banana Bread

1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup mashed bananas
1/2 cup raisins or chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional

In mixing bowl, cream together shortening and sugar; add eggs and beat well. Add dry ingredients alternately with mashed banana; stir in raisins or chopped dates and chopped pecans, if using. Grease a 4-cup can and pour batter in it.

Cover top of can with 6 to 8 layers of paper towel; and place on rack in cooker. Cover crockpot and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours (or until bread is done).

Question by HSMQT: Need Help with Cake Baking Issue?
I’m baking a b-day cake for my mom, which I’ve never done on my own before, and I’m wondering, after I bake the cake, frost it, and add all the decorations, can it be put in a cake pan (or giant plastic cake display-thingy), sealed, and left for about 24 hours? I didn’t know if it would need refriderated (spelling?) or if it would be ok sitting for a day.

What Foods Do You Need For Christmas? Foods From Your Online Supermarket

When preparing to have a merry little Christmas, you may find yourself stressed out with preparations, and resultantly, shopping for food at the last minute. Here’s a tip to help: visit an online supermarket. That way you can order all of the foods in this article and have online food delivery so you can gather your recipes while you shop. While Christmas and Thanksgiving tend to occasion similar delectable treats on the table, there are certain items that you should have, or at least know about if you want to have a Christmas to remember.

1. Appetizers: Hot dogs in a blanket are a fun finger food for your kids, and can be made more gourmet with a fine dipping sauce, such as a honey mustard vinaigrette. Mixed nuts are also a good idea, along with tomato bruschetta and spinach dips for raw veggies. If you really want to impress your guests, spread a light goat cheese inside split endives.

2. Wine: Depending on the meat you are enjoying with dinner, there are many options for wine from which to choose. Try a Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, or any other full bodied red if you are having dark or red meats, or a Chardonnay if you are enjoying turkey or any birds. If you are enjoying a ham that has a sauce or is honey baked, try a Riesling or iced wine. If it is a lighter ham, a Pinot Noir, Beaujolais or other French red wine is a good option.

3. Meat: Ham is traditional for Christmas. Roast turkey and pheasant are also popular. Steak, such as a New York or filet mignon, is also popular. Depending on where you celebrate, you may encounter Dungeness Crab or lobster, as well as duck or quail.

4. Sides: Stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, ginger carrots, and any other vegetable is fair game on a Christmas dinner table.

5. Dessert: This is a big one. Traditionally pies are popular at Christmas time. Pecan, apple, mincemeat, pumpkin, sweet potato and any berry pie are likely to be served. Some pies, like sweet potato, can be served at dinnertime and function as a side. Russian tea cakes and plum pudding are sometimes served as well. Gingerbread, cakes and cookies are popular and fresh marzipan is a treat. For those chocolate lovers, a flourless chocolate cake is a decadent addition not to be missed for any Christmas spread.

When you have a good assortment of foods from each of these five categories, you and your guests will be pleased. To save yourself time, buy your desserts pre-made and have them delivered from an online food delivery service. You can have your appetizers coordinated in a similar manner, or if you prefer, you can buy the ingredients yourself and make them.

If you can’t find anything like that use candy corn. It has a natural tree shape. Besides that toothpicks might work.

Baking a large cake and need help?

Question by mrsgreen3: Baking a large cake and need help?
I am baking an 11 x 15 cake this weekend, first time. I have been reading that I should use 2 – 3 cake mixes. I am concerned about the cake baking properly. Won’t the edges bake alot quicker than the center? How do I avoid this?
The pan is 2″ deep.

Best answer:

Answer by mojo22
Just make sure that you spray enough baking spray around the edges of the pan. It will feep them from sticking and the edges getting really crispy. Also, make sure you put the cake in the dead center of the oven for even baking.
Hope this helps!
