Cake tins

I'm looking for a non stick cake tin, not an anodised aluminium one, more old school non stick, that will fit inside my slow cooker. It needs to be no bigger than 6 inches in diameter, but at least 4 inches deep, deeper would be fine too. Maybe this doesn't exist, I've certainly not found anything yet, but if anyone knows of where I could get one, I would be immensely grateful.

Energy saving and the slow cooker started this, but who knew cakes were so easy and delicious this way  :D

    You can buy silicone cake liners for slow cookers.
    Or try a paper liner.
    Amazon and Lakeland do them.

    I often bake cakes in my microwave using a glass bowl which I've greased and floured beforehand.  They are like a lovely steamed pudding.

    I have non stick silicone cake tin liners which I put in newish non stick loaf tins.
    I would be inclined to use these or line with baking parchment
    You can get the liners for round & loaf tins & they are often in Aldi at a reasonable price (middle aisle). or you could get a tray-bake liner and 'play ' with it.

    I made my first sc cake ten days ago- 2lb loaf tin, with silicone liner

    All good ideas. I've been using a small pyrex dish myself, it does the job, but I would like something with more traditional straight sides, if it even exists 😂

    It does, because I've got something - a Pyrex souffle dish which has just the sort of dimensions you are after. Unfortunately it is very elderly and googling suggested it was discontinued a while back, but if you look for a souffle dish rather than a cake tin, that might get better results, assuming you are happy to go on using 'glass'?
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    I was also going to suggest a souffle dish having just looked at mine! they also used to come in ovenproof china
     It might well be the thing that appears in a charity shop... worth keeping a look out & asking around friends.

    Look for a non stick pork pie tin, they have straight sides and are deep.  Most cooking supply shops sell them
