To Start,lets cut holes in your foam box lid, using the pots base as a cutting guide. I find cutting with a stabbing like motions reduces risk of breaking it.
This will make a hole too small, but that what we want to start or you risk breaking the lid. Once you have a small hole run the sharp knife around the inside of the hole till the pot fits tightly.

(in between cutting holes remove pots and place on a firm ground)
You want the pots to sit tightly in the foam holes, but don't force them in if the hole is too small, you will snap the foam lid.

At least 2 inches of pot showing through the bottom, that will sit in the water by a centermetre or so.

Note you should use pots that have the same depth, as it makes it easier to line up the bottom of the pots so they have equal depth of water each.
