[Sca-cooks] Jewish Chop Suey

[Karstyl]

I don't think that would have the same properties as clay, which would 
be absorbent and would kind of steam the food after it got wet. Stuff 
cooked in unglazed clay is different then stuff cooked in a pan that is 
waterproof.

I think that lining a pan with a layer or a few layers of wet parchment 
paper might be more similar to clay then a plastic bag or aluminum (my 
first thought.)
