Confirm meaning of 水を張った大きな箱


The phrase in question comes from がばいばあちゃん p.167, ch. 13.

I think 水を張った大きな箱 means a box filled with water (and tofu, as it says
elsewhere in the text).

I'm a little confused because I thought 張る is used with 氷 to say 'spreading
ice' or 'forming ice'.

Please clarify.
