  4. Use your finger to put a little water around the rim of the pan so that you can make a good seal between the plastic and the pan. 
  5. You may want to use masking tape to keep the plastic in place. Put a rock or marble in the center of the plastic so there is a slight dip over the cup.
  6. The  plastic should not touch the water. Put it in direct sunlight.
