| Aug 30, 2023 at 2:39 | comment | added | aroth | For rigid metal only, imagine a box (or any other shape with a consistent length and width) open at the top. Add a lid that's not attached to the box but which fits snugly in the opening at the top and can slide down until it rests (or "floats") on top of the liquid inside. Awkward to travel with (but not impossible, with some simple accessories to lock/clamp the lid in place), and may require some design elements to allow air to be expelled when settling the lid. But seems to fit the requirements. | |

| Aug 29, 2023 at 16:46 | comment | added | Tortliena - inactive | @CyrusDrake Does the liquid need to be touching on all sides the metal? Or can there be some vacuum space around it? | |

| Aug 29, 2023 at 15:16 | comment | added | Cyrus Drake | @AlexP Long story short, due to what this sort of metal is normally used for in my setting, the concept of the metal being made that thin hasn't ever really come up, and I'm not sure what the implications would be for the rest of the setting if it could be, so I'd rather explore other options first. | |
| Aug 29, 2023 at 15:14 | comment | added | AlexP | Why should the metal be rigid? Thin sheets of metal are not rigid at all. Consider for example the metal wrappers for chocolate... | |
| Aug 29, 2023 at 15:11 | comment | added | Cyrus Drake | @AlexP Yes, something along those lines, except with the liquid making contact on all sides with a rigid metal. | |
