Stalgast 10 L Plastic Bucket for Food Storage and Transport

A plastic bucket of 10 L nominal capacity holds liquids, ingredients or prepared foods without absorbing odours or taints. The smooth interior and rounded corners let the contents slide out cleanly, while the wide opening gives easy access for ladles, spoons or gloved hands. A bucket of this type is carried by its handle, so the load stays close to the body and the centre of gravity is kept low, reducing strain on the wrist and shoulder during repeated trips across the kitchen or between workstations.

The bucket is formed from a single piece of polyethylene, a material that remains tough across a broad temperature range. It does not become brittle in the freezer or soften in the bain-marie, so it can move from chilled storage to hot-holding without risk of cracking or warping. The white surface reflects light, making it easier to spot residues and to judge the level of the contents at a glance.

To use the bucket, pour or scoop the material in until the internal volume scale shows the desired quantity. The scale is marked up to 10 L, but the bucket will hold 12 L without spilling if carried carefully. Once filled, lift by the handle and transport to the required station. When empty, rinse under a tap or wipe with a damp cloth; the non-porous surface releases food particles readily and does not trap grease or stains.

Construction is a seamless, one-piece moulding in food-grade polyethylene. The base is flat and stable, while the rim is reinforced to prevent distortion when the bucket is stacked. An internal volume scale is printed in black, contrasting with the white background for clear reading.

The only control is the printed scale, which lets the operator measure liquids or loose ingredients directly in the bucket without transferring to a separate jug.

A capacity of 10 L is large enough to hold a stock of sauce, a batch of dough or a quantity of chopped vegetables, yet small enough to fit on a standard worktop or shelf. The 12 L total volume allows for safe transport of liquids without slopping over the rim. The temperature range from -40 °C to +90 °C covers chilled storage, ambient holding and hot-water washing. The 290 mm diameter and height create a compact footprint that fits inside most cupboards and under taps.

Cleaning is done with warm water and a mild detergent; the smooth surface does not harbour bacteria and dries quickly. The bucket is supplied without a lid, so it is stored open to air-dry after washing.

The bucket is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under containers and storage equipment.
