В такой коробочке можно было еще и нагревать печенье, булочки, кексы и любую другую выпечку.
В викторианскую эпоху их делали форме сумочек или сундучков, морских раковин, из цельного серебра с позолотой или из металла с серебряным покрытием.
В принципе, они могут быть использованы для любых продуктов, ограничивает только размер.
Ажурные вставки- гриль держат печенье/кексы на месте и могут быть сняты или подняты, когда требуется.
Обычно их ставили в духовку, также конструкция может предусматривать нагрев на жаровне, спиртовке или на паровой(водяной) бане. При желании в такой контейнер можно заложить даже угли- коробочка поворачивается вокруг своей оси, угли не будут контактировать с продуктами.
Они были с двумя отделениями и даже тройными- для разных видов выпечки.
