Transport hot oil from your deep fryer safely and easily to prevent dangerous spills with this MirOil 6 gallon blue fryer oil utility pail! This oil pail is made with rust-resistant, coated blue steel with a food-safe, enameled exterior for ultimate, long-lasting durability. It also features an interior oil contact surface coated with a high-temperature-approved phenolic finish. This item is ideal for professional use in commercial kitchens, small- and large-scale food operations, and concession stands for moving hot oil from your deep fryer (sold separately) to be stored or discarded safely and without contamination.
This splash-free utility pail is designed to safely handle up to 6 gallons (45 lb.) of hot fryer oil and can be used for filtering when combined with select MirOil filter accessories (sold separately). It features 1 sturdy side handle and 1 top handle for safe lifting that flips from one side of the pail to the other so carrying and pouring a full load of fryer oil is easy and mess-free. It's also made with a gasketed safety lid that is held in place with 4 quick clips for a tight seal to avoid splashes and spills. Safety use decals are included for the safe handling of hot fryer oil.
I have used 2 of these pails. The original one the seal held up for a little over a year. The second one the seal lasted 2 months.im not sure what the difference is. I have a mobile trailer and it does make it nice to turn off fryers, drain a little oil and hit the road with out having a mess. So 3 stars 1 for the one that failed and 5 for the one that lasted a year. It would be nice to have the option of a replacement seal instead of dishing out 100 bucks at a time.

This can began leaking after less than a year of use. For this price it should last much longer. Very disappointed. It also has no insulation abilities and gets VERY hot if you put hot oil into it. Waste of money. I will be looking elsewhere for our replacement.
Thank you for the review! We’re sorry this is not working for what you need it for. We suggest trying this Fryclone 6 Gallon Orange Utility Pail
instead.

So far so good. They do the job and are durable but the lid got rust on top. not sure if it happens to everyone but that is the only thing bad about it.

For the price you would think you would get more than this cheap. Where do I begin...
When you drain hot oil in the bucket, you had better make sure the handle is not touching the sides. It is not heat proof and it melted and stuck to the pail.
The handle has 2 screws to attach it to the pail. Those will also get very hot and burn your hand when you go to empty your spent oil.
I worry every time I pick up a pail of hot oil that the cheap attachment of the handle wire to the bucket will fail and cause serious burns. The paint is completely peeling off the outside and getting everywhere.
It is too tall to fit under the drain pipe on the front of the fryer with the filter cone in place.
This was a waste of $$$ I'm back to using a stock pot.

THIS MIROIL 6 GALLON UTILITY PAIL SEAMED A BIT PRICEY UNTIL I USED IT. WE USE IT WHEN WE DO ON SITE COOKING CATERING JOBS.
IT ALSO WORKS WELL FOR A FOOD TRUCK. BEING ABLE TO DRAIN THE FRYER AS SOON AS WE FINISH USING IT AND NOT HAVE TO WAIT
FOR COOL DOWN. NOW THAT BEING SAID GIVE AS LONG AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU PUT LID ON. WE HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND SEAL ON THE LID IS STILL LIKE NEW. ALSO BUY THE 10" Fryer Oil Cone Filter Holder#682FCH10110" Paper Grease Filter Cone - 50/Box

This bucket is a necessity for anyone working with oil. This helps take away from waiting for the oil to cool, now you can carefully pour the hot oil directly into the bucket with no worries.
Transports easily and is easy to carry. The seal seams to work ok. Just wish that it would seal tighter because I did notice some leaking during movement.

I bought this 2 month ago, and the gasket is already broken. The lid doesn't seal it tight anymore. I expected high quality product from the price but i'm very disappointed.

We make fresh mini doughnuts and the hardest part is waiting for the hot oil to cool down after an event. The first time we did an event we ended up having to wait around for an hour and a half after the event just for the oil to cool enough to drain and transport. This can fixes that issue! You can pour the hot oil right into the can. And even though the can will be a little hot, you can put the lid on and transport it. It has been a lifesaver for us! We highly recommend getting the filter and filter holder to use with it- it's worth it.

When I purchased this product I was very satisfied with it that I went and bought another for my seasonal mobile vending business. Now I am very disappointed. After a few uses the sealant around the top has melted on both and on one I can't open it unless I use a screwdriver or knife. The sealant has even dripped down into the pot which occurred during nonuse. The pots also have a smell like paint to them. I won't be using them this season.

We got this utility pail for our food truck. We needed to drain the frying oil from the fryer so on route it does not spill all over. Before we ordered it we looked everywhere and Webstaurantstore was the only outfit that had them. We got the pail and we use it every time we take the truck out. We love it. It is sturdy, safe, shuts tight and it has the right size for our purpose

We bought two of these last year because all other alternatives were SO much more expensive. The gaskets failed within 90 days on both buckets. Which was a problem when transporting hot oil in a food truck. But for the cost they still kept most of the oil in the bucket. It's the option for people on a tight budget, but if you want to really make sure your oil stays sealed, spend a few bucks more on something else.
We appreciate your review, Stephen! We are sorry this utility pail did not hold up well for you. If you have any concerns with the product you purchased, please contact our Customer Solutions team as soon as you can.

We can only hand out two stars on this item. We used it on a food truck and it is a great size to drain some of the oil from the fryer for transport. Unfortunately the seal fell apart from the heat within a few months. It is also a bit too tall and does not fit well under the fryer nor the dishwasher :(
After inquiring about replacing the lid we were told there is no fixing this problem but we did get a discount because webstaurant stands behind their product (5***** for them!) We ordered the bigger pail and it looks like that seal might be much sturdier.
Thank you for your review! We are sorry the seal on this item broke on you, your account has been credited!

I'm a food truck owner and was needing something to drain and transport grease in!! This product is by far the best thing for that!! We just simply let grease cool down a little an drain in right into container until the next shift!! Seal is great hasn't leaked once, outside is easy to wipe clean of grease that has driped when draining fryer

Cant recommend these oil cans. We have been using for just over a month and the seals have already fallen off causing a hot oil mess and unsafe conditions during transport. Disappointed.

I use this to store my fryer oil overnight after it's been filtered. Works like a charm and able to store pretty hot oil even though it's not meant for that. The clasps for the lid are tight and secure and the handle on the side is really useful for transporting it as well as for pouring oil out. Couldn't be happier.

Did not hold up to hot grease. Was quite dissatisfied. purchased this to contain hot grease from a fryer on a mobile unit. The seals rapidly deteriorated and became useless. I guess they would be OK if you could use them for cool grease only.

This bucket works well for holding hot oil during the filtering or changing of the oil. It seals up pretty well for transferring hot oil to the dump station.

These have helped our summer season tremendously. Only downfall was the gaskets came apart, believe they were warm & stretched and it makes it difficult to make sure it seals fully.

This pail has worked out great to transfer the oil from the fryer on our mobile food truck. It is a huge time save so we don't have to wait for the oil to cool before taking off. We put some cheesecloth over the top to strain the oil as well.
