How to Bake in a Slow Cooker

• Pour the batter directly in the slow cooker.
• Set a baking pan inside the slow cooker.

• Loaf pan
• Small springform pan
• Ramekins
• Mason jars

Just like in a normal oven, your baked goods will rise a significant amount.

This allows the heat of the slow cooker to surround the food as it bakes. If you don’t have a rack that will fit, try elevating the baking pan with crumpled up balls of aluminum foil.

This will ensure a clean and easy release when the baked goods are done. You could grease and flour your slow cooker to be on the safe side.

Set the parchment paper in the slow cooker and spray it with some non-stick cooking spray. This is especially good for baking bread or rolls so you can easily lift them out of the slow cooker. 

This prevents baked goods from getting soggy on top. 

You can do this by placing layers of paper towels directly over your baking vessel, or by lining the lid of the slow cooker with paper towels or a dish cloth. 

You can also slightly prop the slow cooker's lid with a spoon to allow steam to escape.

Peeking too often will significantly lower the slow cooker's temperature. You also run the risk of condensation dripping on the bake good.

Also be sure to preheat the slow cooker (without the insert), just like you would a normal oven.

Use the same caution you’d use for the oven. Whether you’re holding onto the insert or a baking pan inside the slow cooker, be sure to use pot holders or a kitchen towel to protect your hands.
