1. Key Features to Consider

Material & Safety

• Stainless Steel Grade:

  • 304 (18/8): Most common, corrosion-resistant, food-safe (meets FDA/GB 4806.9 standards).

  • 316 (18/10): Higher corrosion resistance (ideal for salty/sour foods), more expensive.

  • Avoid 201 or non-food-grade steel (prone to rust).

• Insulation Layer:

  • Vacuum insulation: Best performance (up to 24 hours), lightweight but costly.

  • Polyurethane foam: Affordable, thicker walls, slightly heavier.

• Sealing: Food-grade silicone gasket, leak-proof design.

Capacity

• 36L: Suitable for 20–30 people (e.g., 15–20L of soup or 50–60 cups of drinks).

• 46L: For 30–50 people; note weight (~20kg when full)—opt for wheels/handles.

2. Thermal Performance

• Hot Retention: Keeps liquids ≥70°C for 6–12 hours (depends on ambient temperature).

• Cold Retention: Maintains ice for 12–24 hours.

• Pro Tip: Pre-heat/pre-chill the bucket with boiling water/ice for better results.

3. Design & Usability

• Wide Mouth (≥20cm): Easy to fill, clean, and scoop contents.

• Accessories:

  • Tap/Spigot: For easy dispensing (ideal for drinks).

  • Handles/Wheels: Essential for 46L models.

  • Lid Lock: Prevents spills during transport.

• Shape:

  • Vertical: Saves space.

  • Horizontal: Easier to scoop from (common for rice/solid foods).
