Yes, I have to use a very very shallow baking tray, and it needs emptying
before the drain is complete. I am wondering about a 100mm solid platform
for it.

(I do this every six months after I failed to undo the cover because it
was jammed up with crud inside. I had to replace the pump, Dremel the old
cover off to see inside, but I have a spare pump now!)
