My review
Brown Bread
RAINVILLE
"This bread is steamed in cans. My Gram saved small coffee cans for this. Gram didn't have a steamer so she used a tin pie plate with holes in it turned upside down in a large covered pot with 4 inches of water."

The flavor was good, but it took much longer for the bread to cook than expected (30+ minutes longer). However the flavor was very good.
