5 gallon Food Grade White Plastic Bucket with Handle & Lid - Set of 6

No issues 100 percent recommend

I bought a dozen of these buckets for long term storage of flour. Each bucket holds one 25 lb bag of all purpose flour. I have not used all of the buckets yet. They are easy to close (with a hammer and rag - to protect the plastic lid). There are easy to open (tear off the tab) and easy to reclose. I also bought some oxygen absorbers (from Amazon) to use in these buckets. I am very happy with this purchase and will purchase again from this seller, if we decide we need more buckets.

I liked the price first off — about $6 each for bucket and included gasket lid. I ordered 18 and all worked great for long term storage of dry goods in 5 gallon Mylar bags with O2 absorbers.The lid was a little tricky to get on. You have to seat the bucket rim inside the gasket channel by pushing down on a 3” section while angled 45 degrees, then use a mallet on the seated section, proceeding around the rim firmly hitting with mallet. Simply laying the lid on top and hitting with mallet will not work. You will also need a sturdy metal lid opener to get this very tightly secured lid off.Was able to fit one 25# bag of rice, beans, lentils, split peas, white hominy in each bucket. Rolled oats, fit 50# in 4 buckets. Could then store 28 buckets under my 18” high foldable Amazon Basics queen bed frame). Finished it off with an extra long bed skirt.You can also use these food grade buckets with no Mylar, using the CO2/dry ice long term storage method. The lids/seals are very tight.

Just had these delivered and removed them from the box inside the house and woah! What a smell!!! I had to carry them outside. If the smell isn't gone by tomorrow these will have to go back, there's no way I would store food in these.This was a repeat order and the last order had no noticeable odor. I'll update this tomorrow. If the smell dissipates it's all good. Gave it two more stars.UPDATE: I left them outside overnight and the next morning the odor was gone. I bought a 2 pound rubber mallot from HF to seal the lids.

I already had two food grade buckets, that had labels. These buckets are not labeled but turns out they are from the same manufacturer because they are 100% identical in their production stamping. They just didn't have food grade labeling anywhere on them so only four stars.

Just what we needed to store our food supply in !

While many buckets are being made less thick or sturdy; these are still good. They did have some black oil like markings on some of them, but most cleaned off rather easily. Overall, they seem to be great for a reasonable price. I would order again and probably will.

Oxygen absorbers made a suction seal on one and that is what I was hoping for. Price was good at the time too.Could not put on the lids until I removed the band on the lid. I assume you need a machine press or something like heating them up? IDK...they work without them obviusly
