Dish Bins & Cutlery Bins in Toronto & Canada

Dish bins and cutlery bins are the workhorses of a dish pit: they carry dirty plates in from the dining room, hold clean dishes between cycles, and keep forks, knives, and spoons sorted before and after washing. You'll want them when you're setting up a new bussing station or replacing bins that have cracked. The Winco 7" Polypropylene Dish Bin is 7 inches deep and comes in black, gray, or white, and a Winco Polypropylene Dish Bin Cover fits both the 5" and 7" sizes. For silverware, the Winco Polypropylene Cutlery Bin has four compartments, and the Winco Cutlery Organizer Bin Set adds a rack with six bins. The two-tier Winco Stainless Steel Flatware Cylinder Holder keeps four or six flatware cylinders in one place. No matter where you're located — a dish pit in Toronto, a café in Mississauga, or right here in Vaughan — Phoenix Food Equipment gets dish and cutlery bins to you across the GTA and nationwide across Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from operators.

What's the difference between a bus box and a dish bin?

Both carry and hold dishes, but the bottom is different. A dish bin has a solid bottom, and the Winco PL Series comes in two depths: the Winco 5" Polypropylene Dish Bin is 20 1/4" x 15 1/2" x 5", and the 7" bin is 21 1/2" x 15" x 7", with covers that fit both. The Winco Heavyweight White Polypropylene Perforated Bus Box is 21.25" x 15.25" x 5" with a perforated bottom, so liquid drains out, and molded handles for carrying, which also makes it handy for thawing food. Choose a solid bin when you want to hold what's inside, and a perforated one when you want it to drain.

How do you organize cutlery in a commercial kitchen?

Sort it into separate compartments, either before or after washing, so nobody digs through a pile of silverware at the pass. The Winco PL-4B cutlery bin has four compartments, one each for forks, knives, spoons, and teaspoons if you like. For a busier station, the Winco OGZ-6 organizer set comes with a rack and six bins, so you can also separate steak knives or serving spoons, and extra bins are sold separately, like the Winco Cutlery Bin For OGZ-6. Keep them wherever the silverware gets rolled or reset so the sorting happens once.

What is a flatware cylinder used for?

A flatware cylinder holds silverware upright so it's easy to grab, and it's a common sight at self-serve stations and table set-ups. The Winco Flatware Cylinder comes in solid stainless steel, perforated stainless steel, and perforated plastic, and the perforated styles let water drain after washing. Each cylinder fits a 4" diameter hole, and the two-tier Winco flatware cylinder holder has four or six openings, so one holder can carry several cylinders at once.
