Grab dear,

There is a huge difference between a plastic bucket and other types of buckets. First being that the plastic variety are always free or at the most about 50 cents. Second is that other buckets are all designed with specific purposed in mind and NEVER last as long as the plastic variety. Third is that I would NEVER make sauerkraut in a galvanized bucket and certainly wouldn't place one of my valuable hides in something I couldn't trust to take care of the job.
