[Sca-cooks] Re: brining in Rubbermaid

[RUTH EARLAND]

How about a white plastic bucket with lid? You should be able to find one at 
a hardware store for under $10.

You want to avoid anything with dyes if you can. They tend to be the 
difference between food-grade and non-food grade. That, the presence of 
post-consumer recycled material (food grade plastics aren't allowed to 
contain any), and the price. Still, it isn't as if you're eating out of them 
every day. People will disagree with this, but I'm not sure incidental 
exposure once will hurt you.
