<p dir="auto">I’ve been using some ziploc 2gal bags to do various equilibrium cure brines and rubs.  They work great when you get one with no leak, but like 50% have a leak and I have to dump in another bag.  And the leak is usually from a side or corner, not the zip part, no pressure, just laying in a pan.</p>
<p dir="auto">I like the ziploc bags better than open bucket, as I can use a very small amount of brine, like 10 to 20% of meat weight, and get a quarter to half inch layer of brine around meat.  Then place in roast pan, small space in fridge, and easy to rotate daily with no mess.</p>
<p dir="auto">So yeah, need an exact brand and product name recommendation for a ziploc style large bag that doesn’t have leaks.  I was looking at those thick siliconenreusable ones, but they are mostly too small and I can’t decipher if they are actually good…<br />
Thx!!<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1655687146237-20220507_194101-resized.jpg" alt="20220507_194101.jpg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>

I always like the free ones though, especially if food grade &amp; 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, &amp; get new ones. The old ones still had lots of life left in them &amp; they were happy to give them to you if you asked. Those were the days!</p>

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.</p>

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.<br />
Thx for the tip!</p>

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!<br />
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!<img src="/assets/uploads/files/1655861315207-20220621_181939-resized.jpg" alt="20220621_181939.jpg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /> <img src="/assets/uploads/files/1655861314504-20220621_182053-resized.jpg" alt="20220621_182053.jpg" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>

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.<br />

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 <img src="https://waltonsdev.nodebb.com/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f609.png?v=de2f8910e2d" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--wink" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=";)" alt="😉" /></p>
