I have two crock pots and one of them is an original without the removable crock but it cooks very well still. I used to have a Bread N’ Bake Cake pan but I misplaced in in one of my moves I love baking in my crock pot though and the cakes rise well and the finished cake looks good too.

Thanks for your comment and I am glad you enjoy the crock pot as much as I do after so many years. I have an original small cookbook but not the hard cover one. Here’s to you and future crock pot cooking!

I still use the one from the 70s that my aunt gave to our family as a Christmas gift. Still going strong, knock on wood! She was thoughtful enough to give us the one where the ceramic pot is removable – Rival had been selling them with the UNREMOVABLE pots and people truly disliked having to clean them.

When she gave us the crock pot, Rival had enclosed offers for the Bread ‘N Cake Pan and for a hardback cook book – so I sent away for both for just a few bucks.

I didn’t get around to using that B/C Pan until about 15 years ago, and loved it, but got lazy and didn’t use it again.

Lately, to save on electricity (our rates in Florida went sky-high) and instead of using the oven to bake (I love to bake), I pulled out the little B/C Pan and started to use it. Wow – what a dream it has been!

Also, I discovered was the recipe book that came with the original crock pot is THE best for all the crock pot recipes – and the hardback recipe book is just a back up.

I made a tasty chocolate cake using mayonnaise (as per the original recipe book – and let’s not talk about calories, please) which turned out fine. I then tried a pineapple upside down cake which was tasty but I must have beat it too much – or filled the Pan too high – because it stuck to the locking lid and I had a terrible time getting the lid off! I thought the Pan was a goner! After much struggle and punching a knife through the vents, it came off, but that was a good lesson to me to be more careful with both recipe and filling the Pan.

Last night I tried a white fruitcake (again, using the original recipe book that came with the crock pot), remembering that the first one I tried 15 years ago turned out pretty good.

Well, this time it turned out even better! Absolutely delicious! Would make a terrific holiday gift, too! Just loaded with goodies! It took five hours on high (times may vary), was not a problem to get out of the Pan, and after an overnight stay in the refrigerator, it is HEAVEN!

Using the Bread ‘N Cake Pan has been terrific, I must say. NOT turning on my oven is a God-send! I absolutely noticed a reduction in my utility bill (I tend to use the oven a great deal – now? Not so much!).

Ebay sellers do continue to offer the Pan (mine is the upright one, not the oval one) and I highly recommend bidding on one, though I can’t believe some go for $20 and up. I’ve not tried a coffee can, but I understand that they can be used also, and might be worth a try.

Happy baking in your crock pot!

Rival probably wont be able to help you but you can try eBay. They have a section called “want it now” and sellers will look on there. Its worth a try.

Looking for a round cermic liner for Rival model 3154. Know it is from the 60-70′s found a replacement 21 years ago and now it has cracked in half. Lid broke a long time ago and used a dinner plate over foil with the shiny side down. It worked great. May just have to get a fancy new one.

Yes a dinner plate will work if it is the right size but you still may lose a little heat during cooking. I am still kicking myself for giving my cake pan away too.

Re: Cracked Crockpot Lid.

Years ago mine broke completely, I used a dinner plate upside down for ages until I replaced it.

ALSO -

I am looking for a cake pan that will fit into my crockpot too. Used to have a Monier one years ago, gave it away, kick myself now.

Have you looked at the eBay auction on the site? There are pages of results there. Sometimes though if it is an unusual part you might have to wait awhile.
