Sounds like stoneware and stainless are about the same price. Ugh. Since Tom can't have rice, I've been baking all the bread he eats. The first sandwich bread recipe I found actually said to drop it in a muffin pan. He's not a big fan of cereal, so I've been making muffins for breakfast. So, I've actually used my muffin pans a lot lately. I'm still operating under the "small is better" principle for GF baking (not such a big deal if it doesn't rise, won't crumble or crack as badly, etc.)

I'm also kind of thinking of this as my Christmas present from my parents and in-laws. They're always wondering what to buy for me and appreciate it when I can tell them what I want. (And, I like getting something I like.) Just need to figure out which is the better way to go.
