Forgotten Food- Boston brown bread in a can in a Slow Cooker Instant pot

How to make steamed Boston Brown bread in a can in a crockpot or slow cooker or instant pot.

I had not had any B and M canned brown bread since I was a child. I did not know if it was even made anymore. I found a recipe online and made some bread in a can. It is a very simple recipe.
The first batch I made I let cook on high for 3 hours and then put it on low and went to bed to see what happened. The next morning the bread was firm and had a slight tinny taste. The foil on top f the bread was sticking to the bread and was corroded. I ate only from the bottom. The aftertaste was pleasant, sort of a bitter taste like coffee has.
I made another batch and left out the raisins and added d teaspoon of powdered ginger and only cooked it on high for 3 hours. I also lined the can with parchment paper.
This batch tasted better and I did not notice the absence of the raisins.
The bread is excellent toasted and the addition of butter or cream cheese would only make it better. The bread is not the best I have eaten but it is good, and what is more, it has a very unique taste and texture, unlike other bread. It is worth making if only for that.

This is the recipe I used. I cut it in half and substituted oats for the rye flour and milk for the buttermilk.
In the future, I am going to continue to add ginger powder and leave out the raisins as I thought it improved the flavor.
RECIPE
1 cup flour
1 cup rye flour
1 cup of corn meal
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 cup of molasses
1 cup raisins
add 2 cups of very hot water to Crockpot
Cook on high for 3 hours.
I used an old vintage crockpot.
