it also helps keep the plastic from getting brittle
What are the best leak proof bags for brining and curing?

bocephus that’s a decent idea. I could mess around with heights so I can get air out of bag without wetting seal area. But I’m hoping someone knows a strong good bag for marinating, some professional or heavy duty thing food service folks all use or such

Dave in AZ I use those five gallon or 2.5 gallon food grade buckets that frosting came in. I get them free at Walmart every now & then, including the lids. They work great, are compact, & fit i the bottom shelf of the refer.

Dave in AZ These are the bags I use. I get them from US Foods/ Chiefs Store. I do double bag when I brine in the bag. I have never had a leaking bag though. ZipLoc brand bags failed all the time on me. If you don’t have a US Foods you can get these from Amazon, they are the same bag, just branded for First Street.

calldoctoday great idea! Home Depot actually has these for just a few bucks! And I also got a black “meat lug” I can work inside of, a bigger lazy susan to spin tray on while using sausage stuffer, and a nice spray bottle for misting stuff on the grill!
Looking at these, I can definitely fit in fridge, has sealable airtight lid, and I can get a whole belly in there pretty easy…maybe 2? How much do you get in these 2 gal ones? Great tip!

Tex_77 thx Tex, that 8 quart one looks like it would work, and the neat submerge cap looks useful. Doh, I just got back from home depot with 4 food grade 2 gallon buckets with sealable lids! Wish I had seen that 2 gal briner before. But I suspect I will own one soonish, will give these 2gal a try and see if I can keep meat submerged.
Thx for the tip! -

Dave in AZ Just used one today to brine up a butt for a pulled pork to smoke tomorrow. I use them when I make my sausage to store it in the fridge before stuffing. Just give the bag a roll, tear it down the sides and slide it into my stuffer.

Dave in AZ Very nice, especially the lug tip. I always like the free ones though, especially if food grade & clean. Back in the 70’s you could often get this stuff for free from the cafeterias, etc. as they would change them out after so long, including stainless, & get new ones. The old ones still had lots of life left in them & they were happy to give them to you if you asked. Those were the days!
