Where do I get a crock from? Looking for 1 gal
 

I want to do some pepper sauce and some pickles

Looks like I need to get a crock

Any suggestions on where to look??

Probably 1 gal or 2 gal???

thanks!!

I use a food grade 5 gallon plastic bucket from a donut shop or a grocery
store with a bakery in it. Works fine and it is safe to use.

Also check restaurants. They get many foods in large plastic buckets.
The buckets are much lighter than crocks.

Where are you located? My local Home Hardware store has crocks from one to
five gallons.

Also consider food-grade plastic buckets. Got a restaurant supply place
around?

What's the lifetime of a plastic bucket?
I got a bunch from a friend who worked at a doughnut shop.
After a few years they became brittle.
It's been so long ago I don't remember how long they lasted.

They will last for a few years if you keep them out of the sun. Or a
few months if you leave them outside or under high intensity electric
discharge lamps (like mercury vapor lamps)

If you store them in a dark place they will last for many years, but
will eventually get brittle regardless.

I've been using mine for going on 5 years now. I use them for sauerkraut
and dill pickles. Then I wash them and turn them up side down without the
lids on them until the next time I want to use them. I go through 3 batches
of Kraut, and at least 3 batches of pickles a year.

I would think the buckets would retain flavor from pickles and peppers.

If you get the bucket at a fast food restaurant they are food grade and
will not retain flavors of anything. I have successfully used them many
times.

I picked up a case of 2 quart mason jars from mom's attic..

I think I will try these for my peppers.

In case one jar goes bad, I will have some others.
