Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food Tote/Box 5-Gallon White Freezer/Dishwasher Safe Food Storage/Organization for Fruits/Vegetables/Grains in Bar/Restaurant/Hotel/Home

IT'S STRONG. I bought this to replace a flimsy dishpan that I was using as a foot bath. Even when filled with water, there's no bowing. I'm a woman with shoe size 8.5. I had plenty of room to soak my feet. This is more of a narrow (long shaped) bin. So I wouldn't recommend it for extra wide feet. Not exactly a spa, but good enough and will last a long time. The bottom (where my feet side) has a nice, smooth surface. No annoying, painful bumps to 'massage' my feet. No ridges. The exterior bottom has ridges (see pic) but thankfully those aren't on the inside. Do you like rubbing your feet together to lather the soap and clean them? This will still work for you, but is more of a tight fit... You'll notice the lack of space side-to-side. For example, I have a son who likes to kick his feet around. I tried it for him and he did OK, but I had to keep the water level low. And he had to lather his feet a bit more carefully. Because keep in mind, this is only 6 inches deep!

I've been put off by the pricey sous vide machines out there when they are really simple construction. So I decided to make one myself after seeing a local high end restaurant use something similar. This box is a very sturdy polycarbonate - heavy and nice-n-thick. I can see this lasting for years and years even if dropped. I ordered the lid which was separate. Although the description says it's a 3.5 gal and the dimensions, it didn't register to me how big this box was. Luckily I didn't order the larger one of these because this easily fit 2 large corned beef packages and left room for all of the other stuff. I also was able to put in 10lbs of porterhouse steaks at 140 degrees for a couple of hours and they came out wonderful (after a quick searing on the frying pan). The plastic can handle boiling water as I put it in a couple of times and let it cool to the desired sous vide temperature. I bought a temperature controller off of the "bay" site for $60, a cheap coffee mug heater for $10 and a food grade circulation pump. With a dremel tool, I cut a notch on the top lid so that the heater go go in the hole and hang suspended off of the plastic. I also put a piece of ceramic below just in case the heater would accidentally drop to the bottom and potentially melt a hole (though I doubt it can do that with water all around). The pump would circulate the water around the tank all the time. Because of the size of this, it takes a considerable amount of time to heat up that much water/meat if everything was cold Best to put hot tap water first and heat from there. I highly recommend this box as it fits the bill when doing sous vide.

Excellent quality. Nice rounded edges. Very sturdy.

My husband wanted a large container that we could keep in our vehicle with plastic plates and cups for picnics at the park, etc. He specifically asked for Rubbermaid because you just can't beat Rubbermaid's quality. I had trouble finding a basic Rubbermaid tote in the size I was looking for, so I ended up getting this one even though it's made more for food products. It is very sturdy and I think it will hold up really well. I'm not a fan of the way the lid attaches-it's kinda've hard to get off and on. And can we just stop making lids a separate purchase?! It does work for holding disposable plates and cups in- the only thing I would make note of is that there is a pretty thick edge around the whole thing and the measurements are to the outside of that edge, so while I had measured the plates and looked at the measurement listed, the plates can't sit flat and so have to sit diagonally to fit.

Having a container be that price without including a lid is ridiculous. The way the container is made there is little chance that the separately bought lid will provide a safe, airtight seal for food. The container feels relatively sturdy and is made of a thick plastic, but again, without a proper sealing lid, that becomes a moot point.

The Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food Storage Box/Tote has been a game-changer in my kitchen, especially when it comes to proofing pizza dough. Here's why it's perfect for this task: Ideal Size: The 2-gallon capacity is just right for proofing pizza dough. It provides ample space for the dough to rise without spreading too thin. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials, this food storage box is incredibly durable. It withstands the rigors of frequent use and maintains its shape over time. Secure Lid Compatibility: When paired with the corresponding Rubbermaid lid, such as the FG350200WHT, this container becomes an airtight proofing chamber. The lid snaps on securely, ensuring that the dough remains moist and doesn't dry out during proofing. Easy to Clean: Cleaning is a breeze thanks to the smooth surfaces and rounded corners. It's dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and convenient. Versatile Use: While I primarily use it for proofing pizza dough, this container is versatile enough to store a variety of ingredients and leftovers in my kitchen. Space-Saving Design: The stackable design helps save space in my kitchen cabinets or pantry when not in use, making it perfect for those with limited storage space. Overall, I highly recommend the Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food Storage Box/Tote for anyone looking for a reliable solution for proofing pizza dough or storing ingredients. Its durability, compatibility with lids, and ease of cleaning make it an essential kitchen tool.
