use that. Put pan in the bottom of
it, and lay wire cake tray, the sort
that you put in the oven to hold cake

will drain into the pan. This, of
course, must be emptied whenever it

bottom of the box, and put other
things around the ice, on the wire
tray. There is an ice blanket which
helps keep the ice from melting and

or spread over it, and it is said that
