    Love the recipe… & the bowl in the photo matches the bowls i insisted on buying.
    We lost our home to fire & decided these bowls would give a reason to feel happy just to have something colorful in our lives.
    Splurged and bought a pot & kitchen towels to make this tin can camper we found feel better … pray for those less fortunate, and be safe…be well. Happy Thanksgiving

      Yes that should work just fine. It shouldn’t affect cook time at all. Enjoy!
