Overview

A carry handle on a round galvanized steel body turns this pail into a table piece for sandwiches, condiments or small tubs. The description says the steel will not rust and the pail can be used again and again.

Rustic restaurant styling and a light, easy-to-carry build are the reason to choose it for a tabletop or buffet. The limits are care and contents: hand wash only, and nothing acidic should go inside.

Who it's for

Restaurants, caterers and hosts who serve sandwiches, fries or condiments in a casual style. Buyers who need a large ice bucket or a lined container for acidic items should look at another product.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Carry handle for moving it around
  • Reusable galvanized finish
  • Classic tabletop look
Cons
  • Not for acidic foods
  • Material fields disagree on steel and aluminum
  • Hand wash only

Performance notes

The galvanized coating protects the steel from rust, so the pail tolerates cold or damp contents when it is dried after washing. Acidic foods can react with the metal, which is why the description rules them out. The light body is easy to carry but carries little weight in a full pail.
