The larger White Box was made to boil water for groups. It works well for boiling, though it would be inefficient for melting snow.

Defying all protests that I am crazy, I have also fried an egg with it - but this is not recommended if you are not willing to hold a frying pan over a tall pillar of uncontrolled flame to adjust the heat. Making a SuperCat and SimmerCat meets the cooking needs more adequately.
