    processhead Very good write up. I use mortar mixing tubs for cleaning my equipment, don’t have big enough sinks to handle everything. Also have a Worx portable pressure washer that I can use with a bucket of hot water to cut the grease.

    bocephus Hi side Black or gray bus-boy lugs 3-$4 also make a great wash tub. 3 on a counter or work area: 1st hot rinse, 2nd soap wash and 3rd hot rinse… Air Dry. Military field kitchen use the same concept, but used galvanized trash cans filled with potable water w/emersion heaters, and long handled stiff scrub brushes. 1, 2, and 3. 😊

      Do the lights dim when you plug that blender in?

      I remember my parents had one similar when I was young, but theirs was a nasty yellow.

        The lights don’t dim but I have to admit I am no fan of the avocado color scheme. It’s right out of the 1970’s

          Don’t go trashing the '70s now. LOL. Those were some fun years.
          The avocado was to match the green shag carpeting in the living room.

              JoeB Mortar tubs are very similar, smooth bottom for easy clean up, I also use a different one for mixing meat with seasoning because of the smooth bottom.

                  bocephus Well i learn something new every day. I always used a 5gl graduated bucket for mixing mortar. what is the cost for a mortar tub? The busboy tubs have (cost extra) fitted lids/ stackable covers. Have you checked the bottom trade stamp for fda food safe approved plastics. I’m kind of an*l about those things. Interested… Please ck. Thanks for the info…

                        JoeB They are $6 or $7 at lowes or home depot. Don’t know about food grade but my father found them about 40 years ago and been using ever since to mix sausage in. Might not be suitable for commercial but we have never had a problem and because of the flat bottom and curve in the ends they sure work nice. Just checked it is marked PP 5.

                            Just because a tub is not marked as food safe, does not automatically mean it is not.
                            It may mean it just was never tested/certified/stamped by some agency. Looking at what kind of plastic it is made of is probably a good start.

                            I guess I might be a little cautious about using a container that was made of recycled materials. With those, you don’t have a clue what residues are in there and what chemicals may have come along for the ride.

                              processhead I agree. To each their own device. For me the oils and processing used are the unforeseen elements. Unless it’s fda food safe there is a good chance it was made economically with carcinogenic chemicals. If the tool is there why not use it. Just what I do. 😊

                                          Just because a tub is not marked as food safe, does not automatically mean it is not.
                                          It may mean it just was never tested/certified/stamped by some agency. Looking at what kind of plastic it is made of is probably a good start.

                                          I guess I might be a little cautious about using a container that was made of recycled materials. With those, you don’t have a clue what residues are in there and what chemicals may have come along for the ride.
