[Sca-cooks] Cheese & coolers (was:Lackeys and Refrigeration)

[Siegfried Heydrich]

    Freeze milk jugs full of water - leave a bit out or the jug will burst,
though. It stays cold much longer, and as it melts, you have cold drinking
water. Prevents the drips. As for cheese, glass jars . . . even the most
inept and thoughtless will generally put the lid back on a glass jar.
