The CookMax 50 lb Rice Dispenser is a robust, high-capacity unit that bridges the gap between home and industrial storage. Built with a 201-series stainless steel exterior, it provides excellent structural rigidity and prevents the "bulging" often seen in large plastic bins. The metal construction also acts as a UV shield, helping to prevent grain degradation from light exposure.
The interior features a sloped floor design to facilitate gravity-fed, First-In-First-Out (FIFO) grain rotation. Each pull of the lever dispenses a consistent amount of approximately 150g (one cup) of rice. The hard-shell exterior provides a much higher level of resistance to pests than plastic alternatives. While the stainless steel is durable, the brushed finish does not have an oleophobic coating, so a quick wipe with a soft cloth will help keep it free of fingerprints.
The unit relies on a spring-tensioned gate for dispensing. It is highly effective for standard white or brown rice, though very moisture-heavy or high-starch grains may occasionally require a gentle nudge to move through the funnel. While the lid is secure, it is not vacuum-sealed, so using a desiccant pack is a helpful practice in humid climates to keep the rice from clumping.
If you prefer a smaller, more transparent option for monitoring grain levels, the 11lb rice dispenser with measuring cylinder is a compact alternative.
