I live in a small town and didn't want to wait till the next trip to get the grate stuff, so I went to Dollar General and bought one of those plastic racks you put dishes in to dry and cut the bottom out so I could use it as a grate. I put that on top of the hatchrite, which I soaked. If you give me a minute I can get a picture. I still have the 3 dead eggs in there because they are attached...it won't be a pretty picture!
