This is what I use for bigger items like turkeys or if I am brining multiple butts:

They come in smaller sizes too. I like that it is square verses "The Briner/Jr".

There are lots of options out there.
I'm with Gregg (NDKoze). They are inexpensive at my local Restaurant Supply Store (open to the public) and many sizes available in both round and square, tall and short, with lids, to fit the space you have available in your refrigerator or cooler.

Haven't seen this one, Gregg - thanks!  Looks like a great size for turkeys and brisket!

Hey Kari, Greg did you get the 18 or 22 qt size? As on some of the reviews said was too small to brine a turkey in? Not that I would brine a turkey but would want one to maybe do a pork butt or brisket in.

 "Not that I would brine a turkey"
Hey Bill, you really should consider brining turkeys, it really does improve them, unless of course they are kosher birds or have already been injected with "additional flavourings, water and salt added" (imo do not buy the latter)

+1, with an exception....sometimes it's hard to find a bird that hasn't been injected.  If you can find one, brining is definitely worth the time and space!  I brine injected birds, if they are a minimal amount (3-4%), but wouldn't brine one that's over that.

Last year after the holidays Costco had fresh unbrined turkeys. I bought a 14 pounder and it easily fit in my 18Qt container.

Found oven browning bag to do the brining process!  THANKS Everyone.


Yeah, they do work nicely but are rather pricey in small quantities.
Vendors such as webstaurantstore and the like sell them in large quantities as well as other bags appropriate for brining.

Hey Greg, I found that the restaurant depot has these for around 20 bucks. Going to probably get the 18 qt one.

The 18Qt is a great size for mist anything that you will want to brine.
