Pots And Pans Can Serve In The Shop
By Sean O'Hara
These stainless steel pots, normally used for rice and Asian food, make completely sweet containers for storing fasteners and washers or perhaps a variety of different colored furniture waxes, one in each pot. Each level measures approximately 5-1/4″ in diameter and 2″ deep — and they’re sturdy to boot.
Though it’s a great idea, the cost seems a little high. Even on sale at Garrett Wade, the set runs around $90. While we dig their pro-grade food-service style, a trip to the local housewares store might net you about the same number of containers, for much less than this.

These boxes are called Tiffin boxes. Best place to look is an Indian imports store, where you could pay less than $10 for 2. (I was amazed to see an $80 price tag on tiffins).
Also, a search for tiffin on the web reveals many options, like above. There are some nice looking rugged ones made by zebra: http://store.sundogoutfitter.com/Cookware/Stainless%20Steel/Tiffin%20Food%20Boxes/
They really are good for food too!
