Can I use a plastic container with it?

According to the safety warnings with the product, you are not supposed to use a plastic fountain on this, it says metal only.

That depends on the type of plastic and the outside temperature. I also have a heated plastic water feeder that is not too easy to refill, You might want to experiment using separation material between the heater and the plastic water feeder.

Well yes, I can't see why you couldn't. If you unscrew the bottom container it would just fall out the bottom, directly over what ever you choose for it to fall into.

If you heat food in a plastic container you increase the risk of contaminating your food with plastic molecules. In short, don't heat foods in plastic containers if you are concerned,

The box is pretty big so I don't think so. I use my own containers. I like the cooler. It's my second one.

I know you can microwave this but, use a proper container that microwave safe.

I'm not sure. Since it's glass it could be used fot borth, but there is a rubber seal inside the lid so I think the previous answer is right.

No! But you can use any plastic bin. I keep my grand kids' in our family room coffee table drawer.

Yes you can. However, the way the lid fits, I put some plastic wrap over-the-top as well, to seal in more of the aroma.

Yes you can by going to the Hefty web site. However , I use a plastic flour storage container from Big Lots that only cost around $2.00 and has a lid to keep closed when I have not put too much in it.

Yes you can. However this is a terrible product. The oranges and fruit in water ate at the plastic and it looked dirty all the time. After about 2 mo. The plAstic cracked and leaked. I would not recommend it.

My husband tried that and could not! You have to be able to screw the top part to the container.

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

If you're making large quantities can't see why not as the container has an excellent seal. When we made starter we generally used 1 quart canning jars with caps on in the fridge as we made a small batch. Don't know anything about any reaction to the plastic as stated in a previous reply but I would follow up on that or the venting comment. One thing for sure, hope you have a large fridge as it takes up a large space.

I just pour it in, otherwise it wouldn't fit all the food. It's supposed to be food grade plastic, so I think its safe enough.

I use it for this purpose and carry it in a metal flask. There are plastic containers that are safe for carry as well, I'm sure google could help you there.
