Stainless Steel Cooking Tubs - Anyone know where to buy cheap?

[rippinntearin]

Morning Everyone!

So I'm trying to find some stainless steel food tubs/bins/trays for some bulk cooking and prep.  I'm tired of buying the disposable ones that are unstable and easy to bend/fold.  Anyone know where I can buy something similar to below?  For cheap?

Thanks!

look online...do you have a restaurant supply store in your area like Cresco?

There are a couple of places that I get items like these.

1. Amazon

2. Local Restaurant Supply store - 1 store near me has the same size in different grades of metal and cost points.

3. http://www.usfoodsculinaryequipmentandsupplies.com - They also have stores around the country

Hope that helps.

I think I've seen them at Sams Club

Nice work fellas! I guess my biggest hurdle was trying to figure out what the darn things were called!

Yeah, I need to upgrade some of the equipment so why not start with some quality trays.

Thanks!

That's a 4" Full size Steam Table Pan. They come in 1", 2", 6" and 8" as well. They are not too expensive at the various places listed above but for really cheap search out a Used Restaurant Equipment store in your area. They get them from restaurants that went under. You may have to sort through a stack but you can purchase for pennies on the dollar...JJ

If your not in a hurry, Craigslist has them from time to time. I bought 6 -6" full size pans for $100.
