I bought my wife a five gallon bucket at the local home improvement store for a few dollars. It holds your average-sized turkey just fine. Around here, in the cooler months, it hovers around 40F over night around Nov-Dec, so we let it sit outside on the back porch in the brine until morning (with a secure top, of course).
- brechin 14y agoAs mentioned in other comments, you should make sure it's a food-safe bucket. The orange Home Depot buckets, for example, are NOT food-safe.
- greyboy 14y agoThanks, you're right. Of course, I glossed over some of the gory details, such as a bag liner in the bucket. Or, the upgrade to a substantial sized stainless steel stock pot (which can be sourced at your local restauraunt supply store). OT: Not sure why I always look forward to these discussions on HN.
