Ingredient Bins

Commercial Ingredient Bins in Toronto & Canada

Ingredient bins are how bakeries, pizzerias, and restaurants keep flour, sugar, rice, and other dry goods sealed, scoopable, and easy to identify, and you'll want them whenever bulk bags start taking over the dry storage room. This collection has NSF-listed commercial ingredient bins from 2 to 27 gallons, each with a clear front cover so you can see what's inside and a scoop included. The Winco IB-10S Shelf Ingredient Bin holds up to 75 lbs of sugar and stacks to save space, while the Omcan 80989 Ingredient Bin is a 10 gallon option with a removable lid. When you need to move product between stations, the Omcan 80985 Ingredient Bin with Casters rolls on 3" brake casters. Pair them with our food storage containers for prepped ingredients in the walk-in. Serving Vaughan and the wider GTA — including Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and Richmond Hill — Phoenix Food Equipment ships ingredient bins nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What's the best way to store flour and sugar in a commercial kitchen?

Keep dry goods in a sealed, food-safe bin with a clear cover, off the floor, and labelled with what's inside and the date it was opened. An ingredient bin does that in one piece: the lid helps keep food fresher, the clear front cover shows what's inside at a glance, and the included scoop means nobody reaches in by hand. A small bin like the Omcan 80987 Ingredient Bin works for ingredients you use in smaller amounts, while the 10 gallon and larger bins are for the staples you go through every day. When a bin runs low, empty and wash it before refilling so old product doesn't sit at the bottom.

Should I get an ingredient bin with casters or a shelf ingredient bin?

It comes down to where the product gets used. Shelf bins, like the Winco IB-5S Shelf Ingredient Bin (23.5" wide, 12.5" deep, 18" high) and the IB-10S, are stackable and open with a one-handed lift lid, so they suit a dry storage shelf. Bins with casters, like the Omcan 80986 Ingredient Bin with Casters, roll on 3" brake casters between the storage room and the prep area, and the brakes lock them in place while you scoop. Measure your space first, since the caster bins stand about 29 inches tall and 29 1/2 inches deep.

Do ingredient bins come with a scoop?

Yes. Every ingredient bin in this collection comes with a scoop. The Winco IB-5S and IB-10S include a scoop with a dedicated clip, so it has a clean place to sit between uses instead of being dropped back into the flour, which helps with sanitation compliance. The Omcan bins use a super-clasp lid design that lets you scoop without taking the whole cover off, and on the Omcan 80985 and 80986 caster bins the scoop handle stays out of the ingredients so it doesn't get contaminated. All of them are NSF listed or certified.
