Can you marinate food in these buckets?

Whether these are technically "food grade" approved buckets is debatable. #2 HDPE is one of the preferred plastics for food grade, but according to the FDA food grade products should ALSO have either a glass/fork logo or words indicating "food grade approved". http://www.virtualweberbullet.com/plastics.html#foodgradeThat said, I have never seen a 5-gallon bucket marked as such. Both the buckets and the Gamma Lids are cheaper at Home Depot. They list theirs as "food storage" which is up to the Buyer to define....

I have never done that, but I don't think it would be a problem. I use mine for food storage such as grains, sugar and flour. They are supposed to be okay for anything. I would think it would stain, but I don't see that as a problem.

On the cooked steak it is best. Probably would work as a marinade too but not as spectacular. You will lose the freshness of the flavors methinks

I use these for sauces which would be similar to baby food. I freeze portions and then put them in ziplock freezer bags.

I would store them like you would pasteurized. I soak and dehydrate mine then store in the refrigerator. They would do do fine in an airtight container in the pantry too.

You can marinate chicken with any gallon sized plastic food storage bag. Why go through the expense of using a Food Saver bag?

Yes, and you can even reuse them for resealing with the vacuum sealer. To clarify you cannot reuse lids for water bath or pressure canning.

Absolutely. You can marinate foods in the fridge using this skillet, and bake in the oven.

I think it is too shallow to marinate all but the smallest cuts of meat. That being said, however, play with "vacuum/seal" and "cancel" buttons to ensure liquid is not pulled up through the hose. It should work!

Absolutely! However, I would NOT put sugar in this container. It's not air-tight enough to prevent ants from getting inside.

I think you can. I really like this pans, they are really good. Just make sure you use plastic or wooden spoons.

Yes. You can get free recipes on the internet for rubs and sauces/marinades. This works great and holds a good steady temperature since you don't have to open the door to add wood chips while smoking. If you buy this, do NOT skip the break-in step, it seasons the unit for use and you only need do it once. We love ours and use it every week. Also, use a 55 gal contractor size trash bag to cover the unit when not in use they are cheaper than the factory-sold cover and last longer.

Not to make them because the bottom of the bags are pleated. I bought these to make goldfish in a bag soaps and they didn't work at all.

No you cannot. The lid is just a plastic cover. It is not meant for cooking. I would think it is more for keeping the legs and grill parts inside while in the carrying bag.

I would think you could...but I would pack the in an upright position, but that is is me and I might consider dry ice, I believe it is colder. It would also depend on the temp outside and will you be able to put them in a freeze when you arrive, before serving them.

You should be able to. I would recommend purchasing the Weston sealer it is by far a better sealer than the food saver.
