Try Measuring Cup (was) RE: [at-l] Grease Pot

[nealb@midlandstech.com (William Neal)]

I actually sit a fry pan, a lid from something else, etc. on top.  Indoor I
add some kind of weight to the fry pan, lid, etc. (ice, water, a cast iron
skillet, etc.).  Outdoors you could try a rock, etc.  

Also, I suspect you could find a reasonable fit lid at a yard sale, flea
market, etc. from some old kitchen wear.  And if you can find a frypan-lid
to a camping set, that would probably work.  Might even be able to use it to
keep something warm or to heat something up.

I've even used a stainless steel bowl (also from Wally World) filled with
water as a lid.  And then heated the bowl for some hot jello or tea.

I suspect that a measuring cup would have one advantage over a grease can.

The top of the grease cans (which I have seen) are rolled inwards w/ an open
gap to catch food and breed baddies.  OTOH, measuring cups have a top edge
that is rolled outwards and a lot easier to keep clean.

I have never seen measuring cup w/ a lid, however.  OTOH, I cut weight on
one of my pots by making a lid out of aluminum flashing, to replace the
lid/frying pan, which weighed too much.  So, a measuring cup w/ a homemade
lid may well be in my future.
