Which hard plastic tray (for sharpening) - in EU

[Matus]

Hi,

I am trying to locate a large hard plastic tray that I would like to put a stone-bridge on top of (like Jon or Maksim are using in their videos). I just can not find one online on in retail. I am sure they are out there, but I guess I do not know the proper name (in German) for it. The common stuff that is available is too soft.

I would appreciate any kind of help or info.

thanks in advance.

I think it's a polycarbonate cold food pan. I only saw them in the deepest size and in packs of six on UK amazon, but here is a link for US amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00030L5NI/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20. If there's a restaurant supply place near you they should have those and others that would work.

Sorry, don't know what it would be in German.

thanks. Another important keyword was 'polycarbonate'. I am about to order one in 'full size' (1/1 about 20x12x2.5")

Sounds like it will make a good set up. Wish I had room for it- small apartment kitchen. Enjoy !

I have a similar setup and love it. One tip is to see what kind of lids are available. I bought Cambro brand from a restaurant supply shop and there were the standard rigid polycarbonate and softer plastic lids. The plastic type seals much better and won't leak if the water sloshes around during transport.

What stone bridge do you have? I haven't found any in Europe

I have ordered one from Jon which should arrive within next few days (together with some more stuff ). Yes - there is a stone bridge to be found in Europe - from http://fine-tools.com/ from Naniwa called 'sink bridge'. I actually bought it in the past and returned it the next day. I just found it to be too badly designed for the money. Had I not bought the one from Jon, I would have just made a simple one from piece of wood instead. If such a solution is good enough for Murray Carter, then it would be good enough for me

If memory serves the full size is 18 x 12 inches and is available in 2, 6 and 9 inches depth. I like the 6 inch with a little more water in it for added stability. If I'm taking "stuff" to a friends to sharpen I'll take a 2 inch. The pans are handy to have around.
