PRODUCT FEATURES
Is this 3-gallon container safe for direct contact with ice cream and other foods?
Yes, the container is molded from BPA-free, FDA-compliant food-grade plastic, making it perfectly safe for storing ice cream, frozen yogurt, gelato, and a wide variety of other food products.
Can the 3-gallon container withstand freezer temperatures?
Absolutely. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction remains flexible and crack-resistant down to about –100 °F (–73 °C), so it performs reliably in walk-in freezers, blast freezers, and standard residential freezers.
Is this container suitable for hot-fill applications?
No. While the container tolerates brief exposure to warm cleaning solutions, it is not recommended for hot fills above 190 °F (88 °C) or for microwave use. It is designed primarily for chilled or frozen products.
Does a matching lid come with the container?
A lid is not included by default; compatible tear-tab and snap-fit lids are sold separately.
How large is a 3-gallon container in more familiar terms?
Three U.S. gallons equal roughly 11.4 liters. That’s about the size of the standard commercial ice-cream tub you’d see in a dipping cabinet at an ice-cream shop.
Are these containers nestable or stackable?
Yes. The tapered sidewall design allows empty tubs to nest for space-saving storage, while the reinforced rim enables stable stacking when filled and lidded.
Is the plastic recyclable after use?
The container is manufactured from #2 HDPE, one of the most widely accepted plastics in curbside recycling programs, supporting environmentally responsible disposal.
How many containers are included when I order this item?
