I am looking for individual buckets to serve french fries. Do you think this would be Ok or are they too large?

It would be way too large. They sell a smaller size on Amazon. But just so you know, both sizes come with warnings to not place food items directly in the bucket. You need to have a liner or some sort of barrier. It's toxic. I don't recall if it said lead or not. Just check the warning.

These are rather large. They are comparable to the ones you have unshelled peanuts in @ a steakhouse.

The buckets are 5 inches tall - which would make most french fries disappear below the rim. Since you would likely place some sort of lining into the bucket (wax paper, aluminum foil, etc.), if you placed a crumpled ball of that material in the bottom of the bucket, the result should be quite satisfactory.

I think they might be a bit larger than you need for french fries...unless the fries are for a group.

It would depend on how big the fish is. I would say you could fit a smaller size whole fish in there. The basket is about 9 1/2". Honestly I dislike this fryer very much. It is too small for my liking and I don't like that you have to take the entire thing apart in order to clean. I dislike that the prongs and unit is separate from the actual fryer and you have to put it together in order to use. Hope this helps.

I have used beef tallow to fry french fries and it worked just fine. Just make sure the tallow is rendered.

I am fairly certain they would hold 10 lbs of potatoes easily. I use mine for bird seed and an 8 lb bag of niger seed fills half of one bin...so even with the bulkier potatoes I would imagine there would be plenty of room.

I have had marvelous success with the storage buckets available from Lehman's ... lehmans.com ... Amish country purveyors... kept in a cool area of the house (basement if you have one would be even better than my back hall... 25 pounds of rice, grain, chickpeas, beans (of all varieties) fit perfectly into the bucket... I do recommend buying the combination opener/hammer to open and reseal... they are a real boon to bulk storage... Have a total of eight at present and considering at least a couple more...

Yes I think so, I bought them for my container gardening. I drilled a 3in round hole in the bottom of one bucket and inserted the basket, put that bucket in another that I drilled 1/4in holes on the bottom with a 1/2in hole in 3in from the bottom, I water it from the 1/2in hole on the side and it is self watering. I water less and my Peppers, Tomatoes, and other veggies have all done great.

I would recommend the small size for individual portions. (Sorry this response is not timely!)

I don't think it is big enough for fries. I'm waiting for the bigger version.

I bought it for making fries. the thing you put the food in is about the size of a soda can. and it did not make fries well at all. It does seem like it will work for other things. It looks to be the exact same product as the link posted-and there are 70 mixed reviews that you can check out. http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.K14798.html

I don't know the answer, but they are very similar in size to frozen bagged french fries. It works very well

They would do well for that. I use them actually for single serving pot pies, mini fruit pies, and shepherds pie. They're actually pretty versatile.

My personal opinion is they would be way to small for adult servings. We used them at a wedding reception for salsa. Keeps the double dippers at bay !!

yes, I use them to hold my supersize hamburgers together. That is what I bought them for. They are long but do a good job. They are clean and really nice.

It's not very big so if you're doing tiny doughnuts it'll be great but you wouldn't get more than one or two in there without them touching. I'm sure fries would do great.

Not quite sure what you mean by "right size" but it holds about 3 level tbls of water (I just measured). If you meant is it a good size for you to serve the children, I'd probably say yes. If you meant that the children will be serving themselves, then I'd be inclined to say no, it would be too big and clunky for little fingers.

They are large....probably 8" long....you could use them as serving spoons.

It will be to tight for tator tots, they will squish. It could work with fries depending on how thick they are. The basket is flexible for thicker foods, but the food will stick in basket. The fries should be oiled to prevent sticking.
