I have been storing my starter in a crock that I bought when I bought my starter. It is very nice, but I don't like the fact that the top just sits precariously on top. I have seen pictures on sites for starter where the starter is stored in wire-bail jars. That would allow for a completely air free starter. Anyone have any experience with the wire-bail jars, or should I stick to the crock???

I was reading and viewing a recipe for Popovers using a silicone pan. The Popovers were beautiful. Would you recommend these pans? And how about the silicone loaf pans, etc.?

Using sour salt.
