Rubbermaid Commercial Products Plastic Round Food Storage Container with Bail Handle, 6 Quart, Clear, High Temperature Range Food Organization/Storage for Wet/Dry Food in Kitchen/Restaurants/Cafeteria

After trying an online recipe, I bought the book The New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking, and became hooked on having freshly baked bread. At first, I made do with with bowls and containers I already had on hand, but having decided I was going to continue making bread, I bought this inexpensive food bucket for storing the dough. I also bought the matching lid, Rubbermaid Commercial Products FG572500YEL 6- 8-Quart Lid. Together, they work great but currently, have to be ordered separately - the lid doesn't come with the bucket and vice versa..The bucket and the lid are both sturdy. The lid fights nicely on the bucket, and the whole thing fits on one of the taller shelves in my refrigerator. When I ordered them, the bucket arrived before the lid, and I used plastic wrap to cover the bucket. That will do in a pinch, but the lid works much better and is well worth the few dollars it costs.While I am sure this bucket has many uses other than for bread dough, in my house it is in constant use as a container for both mixing and storing dough.

This holds ALL of my soap batch sizes! Love it!

We bought this to store dog food in and it's great that we can see how full it is. The optional lid snaps on for a tightly sealed fit or just lay it on for a reasonably protective seal.

Used for epoxy. Worked well for project but a little pricey for what it is...a plastic tub.

Multiple purpose bucket works well with my household projects.

I ordered this for bread rising, as it seems for many others. Just got it and it's very sturdy; exactly what I was looking for.The only issue I have is the pic looks like there's a lid and there isn't. Not only that but the lid is more than 3 times the cost of the container. I'm guessing it's because the lid material is a different, read: more expensive, softer material.I know it doesn't specifically say it comes with a lid and we know about assuming.Color me frustrated because how can I get upset with Amazon because I assumed instead of reading the entire description? Grrr..

Works great for my bread making, but came without a lid. The proper lid is Rubbermaid 6 and 8 qt lid, 10 inch diameter. For some reason Amazon wants three times as much for the lid as for the container, I found the lid for much cheaper from a different source.

These Rubbermaid containers are great for food prep. Marinades, brine's, sauces...it does it all. You do have to buy the lid separately which just seems like a ruse, especially since the lid costs more than the container, but they work well. I couldn't find this product in a store to compare the price, but the lid and the container cost about $10 all together. They are large enough to hold about 10 pounds of chicken breasts in a marinade or a couple of whole chickens to give you an idea of their capacity and they still fit very easily in the fridge. Great product.

Purchased it to make no knead bread. Container is sturdy and the handles are useful when moving the bucket around. Only down side is that it doesn't come with a lid. I use a silicone cover as a make shift lid

I bought that for 5 min bread, work great, just perfect. NO LID, and hard to find it but I put a silicone cover and its perfect.

I purchased this as it has basically straight sides and is opaque, for rising big batches of bread dough (easy to see when the dough has doubled or tripled). Made in the US! (Note, cover had to be ordered separately.)

I use this to store dough in in the fridge. You have to buy a lid separately. It's a good quality product.

I believe for the price that this should have included the cover.
