    My pickle pot, a small crock pot, had no basket.  I poked holes all
    over a plastic butter tub using an ice pick and made a bail with
    "telephone wire".  I have rolls of this wire salvaged by my dad long
    ago - basically just insulated copper wire about 18g to 20g counting
    the insulation.  We use it for LOTS of things! 

    Several years ago, I used silicone caulking to fit a cottage cheese
    container with IV tubing and a sliding clamp to make a water drip
    for times when I use a flat lap on the end of my Genie.  The geyser
    doesn't work right and I don't want to use re-circulated water on the
    lap even though I'm not faceting.
