Had one like an acorn with a very shallow cap and long & thin "nut".
Utterly useless.
Any weight it was difficult to rotate.
Cap side was always at the bottom due to thicker heavier plastic.
Rain and decomposition juices always filled the cap and no drain, do always got wet n smelly to some degree.
Gave it to another potholder and watched it get passed around till the frame broke!
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
