Would this box be good for cooking tools? I want to buy this for a personal chef who has to carry her knives and tools to houses.

I they are light weight. This is cardboard and plastic (handles and hinges). If the tools are stainless and many, I wouldn't. I bought it as a starter toolbox for my daughter. Not expecting any grand find. I would use it for make-up (not oils, cleansers). For a child's Barbie or doll clothes storage. It's not a bad buy. But anything with weight and expectations for durability, I would buy a metal or hard plastic tool box. Hope that helps.

The inside is metal except for the tray which is heavy plastic and there is a bottom piece that is hard plastic too. It is plenty sturdy enough and the lids secures tightly. It might work great for a chef depending on how many knives, they could go in the tray, and what other items she carries. It is a awesome box, I love mine! Hope this helps.

I think it would work out OK. Smaller utensils in the top and other cooking items in the bottom. Does not roll real well over larger stone pathways. It would not hold your cook pots.

If you're worried about your jewelry melting, the product has a fire rating and you can judge for yourself if that is sufficient. If you're worried about your jewelry getting stolen, a) the box has a handle and can be carried away, and b) it wouldn't be that hard to break into anyway. This product seems geared for papers kept at home where you want some measure of fire security. For that, I think it's perfect.

Thats an awesome idea. This box is a great size for costemics and hair brushes. I bought it for tools to keep in my truck. But now I may use it for that same reason. ; )

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

I am also a student and I take cooking and pastry classes as well. There is plenty of space in the bag for a lot of different things. In the knife carrying case I keep 2 chef knives, 8 and 10 inch, a steel, a metal spatula for icing cakes, a grater, an 8 inch serrated knife and 2 small carving knifes with some left over space. That´s only the knife carrying case. I keep a small salt shaker, pepper grinder, notebook, pens, spoons, fork, thermometer, sharpie, notebook, apron, towels, etc. in the rest of the bag. There is a handy laptop compartment as well. In sum, yes, I think you could fit everything you need in this one bag. I am also a student and I take cooking and pastry classes as well.

Youreasuring cups won't fit in the knife case but there is a pocket that will hold them well if they are nested. Your knives will be super safe and there is decent room for most of your other tools.

yes, but it has size limitations. I would not use it like a chef knife, but I tend to pick it up for specialized jobs.

The divider is very versital. You can cook with it or use it afterward with most things. It's it not very sharp, so I wouldn't try to use it for say peanut brittle or something hard.

Absolutely. I gave the set to my daughter after culinary school and this is the set she now uses for everyday cooking. She loves it.

The roomiest compartments are the top and the bottom. I store my dewalt impact driver, my dewalt drill and my dewalt small sawzall in there with my (empty) electricians work belt. In the top I have added a small rubbermaid container because there are no dividers. This holds my various small tools like my knives, chisels, screwdrivers, pliers and such. While beside it I store my safety glasses, tape measures, masks, speed squares and such. The only drawer with dividers in the drawer below the top compartment. I keep small things in there; special bits, razor blades, dummy plugs and such. Love this tool box, I am in the middle of a house reno and it holds everything I need for small jobs. Great for home, but not tough enough for a professional.

I've never cooked with a wok on the Camp Chef, so I couldn't give a fair answer to that question. Yes the carrying case is sturdy, so long as you don't throw it around, LOL! .....just make sure you close the case completely then you should be OK!

Not ours. They seem pretty sturdy. We have used knives on it to cut chicken and steak with no problem, but I am sure if you press anything hard enough it may leave a scratch, so using it as a chopping board is a no, but regular dinning I think it'll be fine! We love ours!

Yes you can put cooking utensils in this with no problem. I love this one! Just wouldn't put long utensils like long wooden spoons etc but for regular stuff it would be perfect.

I bought this to house my camp kitchen. It will hold a lot more than an average suitcase. You are right in that the sides are not very ridged. That is one downside. My camp stove did not fit in the smaller bottom compartment so I had to put it in the bigger compartment. I have a Coleman stove with one burner and one grill area. I used the bottom compartment for kitchen stuff. To make it ridged I used cardboard around the sides, top and bottom. I would say if you are looking for something with more ridged sides go with a suitcase ( or two). With this bag you have a little leeway because the sides are flexible. The sides will not hold themselves up. I bought this to house my camp kitchen. It will hold a lot more than an average suitcase. You are right in that the sides are not very ridged.

I'm in cuisine and it's great for my application. However, I only carry knives, books and a few extra utensils in my case. As for measuring cups, they're rather bulky so I stopped trying to pack them in. The reason was because it made the zippers harder to close.
