[Sca-cooks] Brining Vessels

[Sandragood at aol.com]

A five gallon drink cooler works great and I used it for my turkey last  year.
 
Check with a local fast food burger joint for a 5 gallon pickle  bucket.  The 
youth group at our church used to get these for our canoe  trips.  They make 
perfect water tight coolers for going down river.
 
I personally still use my 8 gallon stoneware crock from my  father-in-law's 
hardware store.  He gave me it years ago to make  my salted beef.  My husband 
fashioned a wooden lid for it and I love  it.  These crocks are not cheap, and 
are very heavy, but I remain a little  old fashioned about it.  They can be 
found at most old-style hardware  stores.  You know, the kind where there's a 
counter with knowledgeable  people behind it to serve you and get you what you 
need.  
 
In Service,
