These are the risers I purchased and I am very happy with them. They fit perfectly into the detolf and added more depth and visibility to my figures.
Here is what my figures on the risers look like.
I've been using these for the last couple years. They've been holding up pretty well (especially considering the price) - I've only broken one so far. My only complaint is that the lids are flat, so you don't have any extra room at the top.
Checking OP's history, it looks like s/he bought it from Amazon, made by Perfect Sousvide. At $88 versus $25 for the Cambro food box itself, I think I would take /u/bigcat69's advice and cut the hole for the Anovo myself but it would be nice to have that hinged lid.
I think it is a nice idea to insulate around the box and the lid should help with evaporation but maybe OP should also insulate the top. I am sure it is nice being able to glance over and see the action going but heat rises so I would assume there is still a lot of heat loss through the lid.
I do Instacart also and I got this bag. The day after I received it I got a catering order that damn near filled it. :)
Only $7.33

Edit: I've liked this one a lot
> You have obviously never tried to buy commercial kitchen equipment. Or tried to build a commercial kitchen.
You can buy small used equipment used affordably. Not a single person is requiring you to have expensive, brand new, commercial-grade equipment. What you are required to have is equipment that can be cleaned to health code standards, which in this case does not cost significantly more than equipment you'd use in your own home. In fact, many appliances sold for home use meet NSF certification standards. How about we make a kitchen?
All of these refrigerators qualify. I'll let you splurge and we'll spend $2,000 on a fridge/freezer, which will be perfect for the small batches we're making.
Here, let's spend another $2,000 on a brand new oven
$300 for your sink
$630 for a mixer
$146 for a counter
I'll let you splurge and spend $500 on miscellaneous utensils, all brand new. We'll use another $1,000 to get miscellaneous hardware and do all the installation, because why not?
So let's see, that gives you a commercial-grade kitchen for under $7,000. Provided you're using a room that isn't filled with garbage, vermin, or poison and which has floors and walls that can be easily cleaned, I'm really struggling to see where you get your $50,000 from. Surely you're not suggesting that people should be selling food they made in rat and roach infested kitchens that can't be cleaned?
If $7,000 is too much for you, this equipment can be had much cheaper used. If you go used, you're getting awfully close to the $5,000 amount under which you can sell food without a license. It should not at all be hard to fund a commercial-grade kitchen in a year or two if your products sell well enough to warrant getting one.
>Stop trying to argue about things you don't know anything about.
I suggest you take your own advice. We'd all love to see the source for your $50,000 claim that you seem so intent on sticking with.

You can also buy a 120 volt commercial electric griddle. They're costly, (around $500) but they'll do what you want.

This seems to be roughly what you were referring to. It's adjustable too, which is nifty. https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Glazing-Dipper-DN-DPR/dp/B019R1L9PW
How about a large tupperware/ubbermaid container, like the ones that people keep excess christmas/holiday decorations in, and college kids load up with their dorm stuff. You could get one that the whole bag of food fits in, that's what my mom used to do, it kept it fresh and you're 4-pawed friends won't be able to get into it without you. something like this would hold the whole 50# bag of food http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Commercial-FG9S3100WHT-Gallon-Capacity/dp/B007VB6CXA/ref=sr_1_23?s=storageorganization&ie=UTF8&qid=1377108136&sr=1-23&keywords=rubbermaid+storage+bin there may be cheaper ones, I know around holidays they go on sale for really cheap at dept. stores, you can usually get halloween or christmas themed ones for around $10 if you wait until after the seasons are over, although that would be quite the wait and i am assuming you need something right now
This might help.

Nowhere. I bought it for shit and giggles. But we are gonna put it on the back of the side gate to the house. On the front of the side gate we have a notice.

A little pricey, but easily one of my favorite brewing purchases. Very sturdy, comes with casters, and it's easy to clean.

I put up an update!.
The hair net I use is the ovation deluxe net. I think I have seen other sturdy hair nets at Sally's, but since I also ride horses I knew these are good quality.
Got one of these recently.
No ragrets.
I want to say that this is what you are looking for
Well it's true if your filament came dry. Mind you, the whole deal with getting vacuum sealed filament with a couple of token desiccant packs meant for medicine bottles and packs of beef jerky in the middle of the spool where there's no air contact with the filament anyway is just a gimmick. I've had entire batches of Chinese filament from Amazon come to me full of moisture right out of the packaging. Honestly, even when I buy domestic filament from manufacturers I trust, I always bake it for an hour at 120F before first use just for complete piece of mind, and then store the spools in 20 gallon totes with 5lbs of silica gel pellets lining the bottom.
Those little tiny packs of silica don't do anything. They're useless.
There are a lot of options for these. There's a standard 3-piece set on Amazon for about $8.
These are higher end and out of stock, but I love them. They're really customizable.
I believe that the Container Store and Daiso also sell the square and rectangular ones for fairly cheap, if you live near one.
Was it this one?

When I was a kid, and we was po' mom bought a huge roll. We had that one roll in our basement for my entire childhood. Super economical!
That looks like gold cake pad, http://amzn.to/2rFZGfx - lots of different sizes, not completely sure :) but if OP doesn't answer this might help.
funny that you say that, I have the same problem. I have to cancel a lot of orders because of pizza and a local taco shop that uses a box the size of a pizza. So I'm actually thinking about upgrading to this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07T99HNM1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
This one should allow you to fit at least two pizzas
Let me start off with, I love sleeving cards. I can watch tv or a movie and sleeve cards all day every day. I'm crazy so I open all sealed products with latex gloves, then cards go into a KMC perfect fit then I use this https://amzn.com/B00QK5AEBE to seal its soul. Then into an outer sleeve. Valuable cards go in binders and others into those white card boxes. I also throw one of these https://amzn.com/B001UYEBNW into the storage unit, deck box, binder, storage box. Hope this helps ya! =D
The more I think about it, the more I think that one of these:

may be my best solution.
Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I bought the sink linked below at Rakuten when they had a 20% off Home coupon (currently have it now).
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M87C57Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_W64hDbJWF0KQ2
I also picked up two 30" deep by 60" long stainless tables for around $100 shipped each using that same coupon.
Use the advice in the other comment, where you vacuum seal some ice cubes. Let it sit out until the water thaws and then see where your leaks are. That will show you where you might have dirt on the heat sealer.
Wiping it might help, especially if you wipe it while it's warm. Be careful not to burn yourself and use something that won't melt or otherwise be affected by the heat. Like a dry paper towel as long as you keep it moving so it doesn't burn or get stuck.
If you want to do it cold then you can try scraping it very, very gently with like a small razor blade or something along those lines. But that's more if it's dirty enough that you can see where plastic is stuck to it. Still... Be very careful and very gentle that you don't damage it though, because then it won't seal right anyway.
It might be better to see if you can order a replacement strip for it, but since the company's not offering much support it might not matter.
You can buy something like this (they should have cheaper ones) and use it to manually seal the bags ahead of where the vacuum sealer is attempting to do so.

Since you are an electrical engineer, are thinking about an electric device?
Most commercial griddles are gas, but you can get electric ones. You could buy a countertop model and experiment a little. This one is expensive, but you can find something similar locally for a lot less:
https://www.amazon.com/Waring-Commercial-WGR140-120-volt-Countertop/dp/B004WSJKXO
If you want a griddle for a multipurpose use, you will need something that draws more than 120 volts, but you would learn a lot with a 120 V griddle.
Another device you must ght find interesuting is the countertop induction burner called The Control Freak.
If I was building my ultimate kitchen with an unlimited budget, I would like an induction plancha like this or this.

Bingo. That's exactly it.
Edit: Or is it? It's calling it a dipper: Am I supposed to load donuts into the thing then dip the whole tool into glazing? seems wrong, but then it looks like it might be impossible to control the slot size to get a consistent sheet of glaze.

That's the bag I have. I like it so far, it's pretty fun depending on the route I have to take. I have been riding almost daily for the past 15 years and ride fairly aggresivly so I feel like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVeZYCjnkSc
