Place loaf on a 24×9 inch piece of cheesecloth. Place rack in a slow cooker. Gently lift loaf into cooker and place on rack. Loosely fold cheesecloth over top of meat. Cover and cook on low about 5 hours or until done. Holding ends of cheesecloth, lift cooked loaf from cooker. Remove cheesecloth; cut meat into 6 or 7 wedges. Formatted by Lynn Thomas.
