Rubbermaid Commercial Products Food Storage Box Lid for 2, 3.5, and 5 Gallon Sizes, Clear

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.

Bought this as a Sous Vide vessel for my Anova One.. It's very sturdy construction, and being plastic it won't disperse as much heat as a metal pot, causing the Anova One to have to work less (less energy, less wear and tear...that's a good thing!!!). I knew ahead of time the Anova clamp would have an issue over the lip of this container. However, it took me 5 minutes with a dremel tool to fix that. I shaved off 1/4 from both handle areas, and it would definitely effect how the container would be carried if full. I will likely use this to cure pork butts prior to smoking, but I don't think the handles being shaved with a dremel will cause an issue (i.e. i will likely bear hug it out of the fridge rather than lift with the handles, even if unshaved). Definitely going to be useful for doing racks of ribs, large amounts of chicken wings, etc. Won't be a great vessel for cooking one bag of food, will likely stick to a metal pot for now. There are lids available for this, however I purchased 144 practice ping pong balls to use as a lid for about 7 dollars. This will cover up the large surface area, vapor will condense on the balls and drop back into the water, reducing vaporation (vaporation reduces heat, which makes the unit work harder.) The Anova and the above mentioned ping pong balls will be stored inside the container when not in use. Overall, as a sous vide home cook, this is one of my smarter buys for larger cuts of meat.

Love the durability of this tub it helps when I season up food for a big bbq and fits nicely in my fridge.

Sturdy, but no cover provided With storage box. Returned, and found similar ones on Amazon that included covers.

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.

Strong material. It can be used for anything. :)

I purchased this tray to keep it in my AC closet to absorb any condensed water that might drip down on the floor. It works well for what I purchased it for, really strong and sturdy Construction.

I know some of you are scratching your heads going what the heck... these are kitchen supplies. They are. Add I’d be giving them high remarks if I bought them for that use as well. I used to work in the food business and have lots of experience with these. But in my own home they work well for kitty litter. Easy to wash with soap and water in the tub every couple months. We have 3 cats. We are thinking of switching to pine pellets. So we bought the strainer as well. And we’re confident that the holes in the strainer are already the right size for sifting the pellet litter. So all is good.

large heavy gauge plastic. Good quality! Does not come with a lid.

So here goes a proper review and info for this item to answers I had that some of you might be asking yourselves. As you can see in my picture, I purchased what the title description gave as model 3306CLE with 3 1/2 inch height which is clearly not the given product. The color option says white which is not that either. And the product sold does not match the picture. The description is more accurate. This is model 3304CLR meaning this item is CLEAR and not white despite what the option says. It is also around 9 inches in height and can fill about 5 gallons or 18 liters. This goes perfectly with the 33100CLR cover. It is made of polycarbonate and can withstand temps of up to 212 degrees farenheit. An important info for those looking to use it for sous-vide such as myself. If the info was not mixed-up, I would have bought 2 right away. As another review stated, all you need to do is drill a hole in the cover to accomodate your Anova or Joule.

Great matched with the Rubbermaid food box for Anova sous-vide. Just cut a 2 3/8 inch hole in the lid and sit it in there. I used a 2 3/8 bi-metal hole saw to do it.

This is clear plastic similar to the material used your fridge cool draws. I like the professional look of this product and the fact I can now store and pull of my fridge all of my veggies in one go for when I use my juicer. Saves a lot of time.
