Abstract

A hollow dish with a discrete, meltable core such as a wax core includes top and bottom members welded to one another at their periphery, and a meltable, preferably wax core confined within an oxygen-free, water-free cavity between the top and bottom members. A method for making a hollow dish with such a core includes liquifying a meltable substance such as wax in an oxygen-free, water-free, inert atmosphere; cooling and solidifying the meltable substance to form a meltable core; placing the meltable wax core in the cavity inside a hollow dish; removing all oxygen and water from the core-containing cavity inside the hollow dish; and sealing the hollow dish to preclude escape of the wax core from the cavity and to preclude oxygen and water from entering the cavity.
