There was a request for a dough bucket.
I have used the Cambro containers which are superior food grade containers
for many years. They are available from Smart & Final at very good
prices. Check them out at the web site.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Food Containers. The round
Cambro containers which are the most suitable for al your needs are on
pages 2 and 3 (containers and lids sold separately).
The sizes range from 1 quart # 106060 to 22 quarts # 106130.
The price of the 1 qt. is $1.87. The price of the 22 quart is $9.78
The lid (fits the 12 qt., the 18 qt. and 22 qt.) is $0.72
I have many of these in every size. I use them for storing flour, grains,
nuts, dried fruit, kitchen utensils when I travel, bottles of liquids (If
something breaks, it is confined to the bucket.
In my freezer instead of many small packages of veggies, fruits, etc. I
have the large containers, one with veggies, one with fruits, one with
poultry, one with fish, one with pork, beef, etc., etc. They seal so well
that there is very little frost formation in the packages and therefore
less waste. I do vacuum seal meats and fish and home grown fruit and veg
before putting them into the containers.
When getting ready for a party I dump ice from my ice maker into one of the
buckets and keep adding to it every time the icemaker fills.
The lids really seal tightly. Last week I put a batch of dough in one,
snapped on the lid and it rose more than I expected, the lid had bulged up
considerably but had remained tightly sealed.
The containers also can be put in the microwave directly from the freezer
to defrost stored foods. Try that with some other containers and you will
have a disaster.
