Drip Shield Needed?
    #5429331 - 03/22/06 10:15 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I made a poor man's pod and am concerned about water collection on the lid. Do I need to somehow shield my cakes from the water droplets that collect and fall on them?

no

you don't need a drip shield...

just bang the lid up against something to get the water off of the lid...

when you check the cakes.

I probably have enough room to do one, but would rather not if it isn't necessary. I'll probably just knock the water off the top once or twice a day as roadkill suggests.

I just checked my cakes and the only one of the bunch that I hadn't rolled actually has a little puddle on top. Is the purpose of rolling them in verm to keep this from happening?
