Ingredient Bins

Bulk dry goods like flour and sugar are the main job, with a hinged or sliding lid keeping product covered. Most Ingredient Bins ship with a scoop so staff can portion straight from the bin.

Capacities run from around 2.6 gallons on a shelf model up to about 31.7 gallons on a mobile bin from Omcan. That range lets Ingredient Bins suit a single station or a high-volume bakery.

Shelf models stack on a counter or rack for smaller volumes, while mobile bins roll on casters and hold much more. Pick mobile Ingredient Bins for flour at a bakery, and shelf units for a line station.

Yes, most ship with both a fitted lid and a scoop, so they are ready to use out of the box. A few list the scoop size, like the 32 ounce scoop on the Rubbermaid bin, alongside other Ingredient Bins.

Sliding and hinged lids close to keep out pests and limit moisture, which protects dry goods between uses. Pair your Ingredient Bins with Rotation Labels so dated stock rotates first.

Dedicating one bin per product, such as separate units for flour and sugar, prevents cross-contact and speeds prep. Sizing your Ingredient Bins to weekly usage keeps refills manageable.

For high-volume staples yes, though smaller portions still suit Square Containers or round tubs. Use Ingredient Bins for the bulk base goods and containers for prepped or partial amounts.
