Metal Bowls

I know they sell meat luggers in plastic but is there a problem using metal bowls mixing and/or letting mixtures sit overnight in the fridge?

I am new at sausage, made 12 lbs of breakfast sausage patties a couple weeks ago that turned out perfect, now we are making some italian sausage patties

Thanks

I use them also with no adverse effects.

all stainless steel is not created equal, some food items (dependent on their acidity) can pick up an odd taste or get discolored from metalware, (including stainless steel) I feel that plastic is a better choice, especially when dealingwith raw meats either cured or uncured.

jm2c i use plastic tubs for my sausage making . I dont see a problem using stainless steel except if you are using ingredients like hot sauce. The vinegar does give off a reactive twang and has so for me , might just be the stainless bowl i used though. Another reason i use plastic tubs is that the bottom is completely flat and it is in square form so its user friendly for all aspects of sausage making.
