Mine came from a restaurant, but Big Thanks to Princess for her great advice on this. I'm gonna check those bags out.
Stop by and check the bakery department at your local grocery stores they usually have empty icing buckets they'll part with free.
I've hunted everywhere for zip-locks larger than the gallon size and I haven't found them yet either.
I guess that none of you are coming over to my house and eat turkey or any of my corned beefs or pastrami. Cause I (being an old drywall dude) use an old drywall bucket that has been cleaned out and bleached out too. I have been using it for alot of things and I have an extra refrig that will hold he bucket and alot of those wally waters that we drink to. Sp I hope its food safe because it sure hasn't breed any flesh eating disease for my belly hasn't stopped growing in a while now
Its because of all the dry-wall mud particles he has consumed from those contaminated buckets. LOLWhat gives? I can only do one quote at a time??
IF you want to find food grade 5 gallon buckets the best place for used ones is McDonald's. They get their pickles in them and they usually have a ton of them. You wouldn't even have to worry about the pickle smell because you will be putting a pickle brine back into them...

If you have a WinCo foods near ya they sell the buckets - they are stacked up near the produce section.
Has anyone thought of using the turkey oven bag to brine in? I have a big stock pot but was thinking about trying one of those bags since they are everywhere this time of year
