What do you place your meat in for brining?

Plastic buckets.... an old pickle bucket.... and I don't know how many times I've used it, brined, washed and sat back on the shelf. When I take the lid off of it and sniff, it still smells like pickles!!!

I have personally seen The Briner and had it in my hands. It is a quality product. The best feature of the design is the lid that holds the meat well under the surface of the brine with out using any type of weight. I plan on purchasing one soon. I know Tom Bera from Philly Blind Pig uses one and is pleased with it.

I was at Firehouse subs for the first time the other day and saw they sell 5 gallon pickle buckets for $2.

The biggest difference between the coolers and a food-safe bucket is if your storage space is small. Most people need a cooler more often they need a bucket that has to be reserved for food use only. I get pickle buckets for free, but someone always seems to grab them for some other use. Also, the dogs love to steal the bucket lids if they are not stored high.
