American Metalcraft Galvanized Tub

Yes, it is designed for food service, making it safe for holding items like sandwiches, snacks, or condiment packets. However, because it is made of metal, we recommend using a liner like parchment or wax paper if you are serving greasy or acidic foods to protect the finish and make cleanup easier.

While the galvanized steel is rust-resistant, this tub is not watertight or insulated. It is best used for dry service items like bread, chips, or utensils rather than as an ice bucket, as water may eventually seep through the seams.

Hand wash the tub with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers or acidic cleaners, which can damage the galvanized coating over time.

The tub has a 27-ounce capacity. It is compact, measuring 6 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height, which makes it perfect for individual servings or small tabletop displays rather than large-scale catering.

The side handle is designed for easy portability, but it does add a slight protrusion to the side of the tub. If you are planning to nest multiple tubs for storage, keep in mind that the handle may prevent them from stacking perfectly flush.
