Do you know of a spill-proof 9x13 container?

May 24, 2011 5:17 AM

I need to carry bourbon slushes from the kitchen, down two steps to the freezer in the garage and they always slosh out and make a mess.

round containers are less likely to slosh over than square ones... maybe a sterile 5-gallon bucket with a lid...?

for smaller amounts - most (non fast food) restaurants will save you a few sour cream / cottage cheese containers w/ lids. They are food safe and about the capacity of a #10 can... maybe 3/4 Gal. Some restaurants get various foods in small 1/2 Gallon buckets with lids.

Have you tried a pyrex pan with a lid like this: http://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Grip-3-Quart-Rectangular-Baking/dp/B0011E75U2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

They aren't necessarily spill proff, but would cut down on the sloshing greatly.

@capguncowboy: Has to be a shallow container or the bourbon all freezes in the middle.

@coffeegirrrl: I'm going to check that out. Waiting for some new lids I ordered. My old ones are warped from putting them on in the pyrex portables.

@pooflady: "Taste" the bourbon after the trip, not before.
The pryrex is a good idea what about saran wrap for better water tightness.

9x13 sounds like a medium sized cat... they tend to be pretty spill proof, unless you spin them a lot, though they are hard to open... :X :X :X

erm... :P my vote goes with rubbermaid pitchers - i have a square one about the size you are looking for (though upright) that has a double vent (seal able) and stays shut very well.

For pan style - rubbermaid also makes this cake/pie/pudding container a little larger than your dimensions that has latches, and, barring some rough treatment, should stay sealed and leak free.

Posts like this really amuse me! You can't figure out how to go down 2 steps without spilling something. So you go online asking for help. Ask your kid to do it for you. Or ask a neighbor to help you out. Transport it before sampling it.

Why don't you put the pan in the freezer and carry the slushy mix to it in a pitcher?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
