Now that I got a Wifey I get in a little trouble when I mess up the kitchen, so I had to come up with something. 55lb flour bags are messy, hard to carry, impossible to close, and God forbid your basement floods with one on the ground you're screwed. So I went to Home Depot, spent $4 on a bucket, and cut up the bag for decoration. A small price for such a great convenience. It actually takes two buckets to hold a 55lb bag. The flour companies can thank me later. You're welcome, Signore Caputo.

DeleteYou sure that's not a 55lb bag of flour?
ReplyDeleteAre you sure those buckets are "food grade" plastic? I have my doubts.
ReplyDelete@TXCraig - you're right, that's a 55 pounder. My bad, I must've gotten stronger. Also, I just looked it up to be sure and found that FornoBravo sells theirs for $70! That's crazy. I get mine for $30.
ReplyDelete@dmcavanagh - It is my understanding that these buckets are ok for storing dried goods as long as it's not at elevated temperatures. If you heard otherwise please let me know. Safety first!
Thank you both for reading and commenting. I appreciate it.
Home Depot does sell food grade storage buckets which are much more expensive then these orange buckets. Here's a link http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=202735752&storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&MERCH=REC%2d%5f%2dproduct%2d1%2d%5f%2d202735757%2d%5f%2d202735752%2d%5f%2dN
ReplyDeleteSeems like the price is almost the same. It's $50 for 10 buckets.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
Are you sure that the flour is food graded flour?
