Load database table in controller cakephp
===

Is it possible to load a database table into a variable in my controller without the table having an associated Model?

What I am trying to do is:
When the user clicks the create new item link they can either choose a pre-set value or enter the values in manually.  When they choose 1 of the pre-sets, I want the action in the controller to go to the database table that stores these pre-sets, grab the correct pre-set row based off of the name, and then use the other fields in that row to update the new item in the database.

The table with the pre-sets has no model, it only has 3 rows in it with preconfigured data.
I just want to grab one row specified by the name, and then use that information to fill in the new item's fields.

`$this->loadModel()`
I'm not sure if I want to use this or not.
If anyone needs clarification, let me know.

Thanks for the help
