For Frank's query about containers:
This article was so enticing, I actually walked out of our Doctors
office with the magazine tucked under my arm. I haven't tried it yet,
but to answer your question about baking containers, have you
considered cast iron?
I have an old dutch oven and it works wonderfully. If it is seasoned
properly, it just needs wiping out when you are finished.
Some of them are pretty pricey like the enamel covered casseroles,
maybe the thrift store has something the you could at least
try. They are heavy, tho.
