Struggling with last three - I may have made a mistake!
18a Pass on, or stop mid-sentence (5) ?O?O?
13d Mania for stewing cheese without slow cooker (4-5) ?a?n-?a???
22a Honking flyers hide egghead inside (5) ?k???
Any help appreciated

[The Builder]

22 skein (of geese).........skin(hide) with E inside (egghead - first letter)

[gen2]

22a = SKEIN (of geese)

SKIN = hide
E = Egg (head)

13 bain marie?

[gen2]

13d = Bain Marie
mania + Brie anagram

[squarebear]

Yes "bain marie" anagram of mania and brie.

Many thanks The Builder, gen2 and squarebear. You do realise of course that I now only need one which is driving me nuts!

[Freda7]

I have put Colon for 18 down - Col = pass plus on. Used in mid-sentence.

Thank you

21a I've got CONTINUAL = without interruption - but why?

[squarebear]

If something is without interruption, it is continual.

[John Fox]

But how does the answer derive from the clue? I just hate to get the right answer and not know why?

[squarebear]

What is the clue? You didn't say.

[John Fox]

21a - Fiddle section backing little boy without interruption.

[hempsall]

Fiddle = Con
Section backing = Unit reversed i.e. tinu
Little boy = Al

[John Fox]

It all makes sense now - even though it is a trifle convoluted. Thanks, I'll sleep soundly for knowing it.
