Karat 85 oz White Food Buckets With Paper Lids

Perfect for what I needed them for (dump buckets)!

Buenos

When you put hot chicken in them the lids do not fit right. We actually can’t use them too much business to have to tape the lid on. The box is great just the lid is horrible for hot food

Los uso para mi emprendimiento, y realmente tiene gran capacidad y se conserva bien el producto.

I have a huge family and already do 2-3 loads of dishes in the dishwasher a day, so we use anything disposable we possibly can because I would lose my mind if I needed to do even more dishes than that a day! I got these 85oz bowls thinking they would be good for things like salad with dinner, popcorn, soup, or even leftovers of those things and more. The containers themselves are very sturdy, they kind of remind me of those KFC buckets that they used to sell, but these seam to be thicker and more sturdy (they still might I just haven’t been there in a decade or so). They do not leak at all and I have had zero issues with the quality of the containers. The lids also kind of remind me of the same KFC buckets that they used to use on the top. If I’m being honest I’m not a fan of the lids, they just don’t secure the food well enough for me to feel comfortable. I have just been putting either plastic wrap or foil over the top and that has been working ok. Overall other than the lids these containers do the job.

I thought I could use these as an alternative to plastic for some cookies that I make and sell by the gallon. Unfortunately, the lids are awful for transport. I had a customer drop a whole pail because the lid just popped off. Even with tape, the bad fit of the lid makes the pail kind of flimsy. Edit: I used an 8.5” paper plate and a bit of tape to make a sturdier lid. It doesn’t look great but it works!

The Karat C-FB85W_Bundle (189mm) 85 oz Food Buckets are perfect for so many different themes or purposes. Kids can decorate their own personal popcorn bucket or summer fun at the beach. From hold chips to potato salad at family events they’re great because you can toss them in the trash afterwards. If you want something personalized, you can use peal and stick wallpaper or contact paper to adorn the outside, photo shows how I decorated some with white & gold peal n stick wallpaper. I made a template to use to cut out pattern. They hold up nicely with food, plus they come with lids that you can write down what’s inside. They also transport well. The possibilities are endless of what can be done with the food buckets. They also can be used to store kids toys, such as building blocks.

Don’t let the name sway you away from these, while they may be a bucket they aren’t that over the top in size. It perfectly holds one standard bag of microwave popcorn, works great to hold chips, is an easy way to make a big salad, and they are waxy inside so I plan to experiment and see how long a liquid can stay in without it seeping out. The lids are so-so, since they don’t actually cover the entire opening but would work to transport something to a bbq or picnic more easily than covering with foil or plastic wrap.
