Since I don't have any thermowell cooking pots except the single... (and a sealable stainless steel container that my wife uses for oatmeal) I found this and it fits perfectly for use in the thermobaker: www.walmart.com/ip/Pyrex-7201-4-Cup-Round-Clear-Glass-Storage-Bowl/895933686I used it last night to cook a chicken breast in gravy in the thermowell using the thermobaker, while my wife used the oven to bake her fish. I just used aluminum foil for a (self basting) lid and it worked fine. Although it is made by Pyrex, it does caution not to go from hot to cold directly (its classified as a food storage dish) so I would not use it directly on the thermowell burner the way an aluminum pot would. Still, it works well with the thermobaker and that is how I will be using it when I just need to bake something for me, or something fairly small in nature.

That's what I love about the Thermowell. It is so versatile, and my fears before I had one, that you had to have such special pots in order to use it, were so happily unfounded!

Nice find! I have an old Pyrex flameware dish that's about the same size and I bought a very small pizza pan to use in the Thermobaker. The pizza pan turned out to be too small to be of much use, except it fits the Pyrex dish perfectly, so now I have a lid for it.

That's really nice. I use my old pyrex, but always preheat it with water heated it in the microwave or hot from the tap.Also, be careful with overhanging tinfoil, especially with a B as I had the condensate drip onto the pilot and extinguish it once! Silicon pot holders also make good cover and they form a tight seal.

Nice find, wizardoftrancce!
For anyone willing to use aluminum, the old Wear-Ever #802 casserole pans works really well. They are super thick-walled and make a nice mac and cheese or meatloaf pan.
