House Naturals 5 Gallon Plastic Bucket Pail Food Grade with Blue Screw on Lid(Pack of 3) Made in USA

Great product but you will need a rubber mallot to attach the twist top to the buckets. Took a little longer to arrive than predicted but worth the wait.

I looked @ Lowes and Home Depot for this sized bucket and closure lid. No luck and expensive.These are perfect. My wife uses them for storing the ingredients she uses to make bread and loves them. Excellent size and easy to open / close.

The rim was easy to put on if I ran it through dishwasher without soap on hottest setting, take it out in middle of cycle while very hot then use a rubber mallet to pound the rim onto the bucket. This elderly lady could then do it easily on my own. Like how the top can easily be removed and put back on.

Given the cost of buckets today, this is as good a deal as you will find. Lids went on in 3 minutes or less. Here's my take; don't pussy foot around, set the bucket on the floor, place the ring around the top and have a seat-plop right down on that thing and them start to push it down. Use your body weight. There is a chemical smell to them, though. I will update if it doesn't go away.Update: I set them out in the sun and sprayed them with hydrogen peroxide several times throughout the day. I did this for two days, and it did seem to help. I hope this helps you.

Sturdy

First of all, made in the United States of America from non-toxic materials, unlike others that use recycled and questionable plastics.Snapping the lid on was tough, as it should be, and created an airtight seal. The cover screws on perfectly. Each one holds approximately 35lbs of rice.Pro tip: If you are going to store grains for any period of time, consider getting a block of dry ice. Using gloves and a hammer. Break off a fist sized chunk of dry ice, drop it in the bottom of your bucket, fill your bucket with your food stuff, and put the lid on but do not tighten it down. Come back an hour later and finish tightening the lid. The dry ice will sublimate into CO2 and displace the lighter air, thus helping to preserve your grain.

Great for bulk food storage like flour, rice or sugar.Took some arm strength to get the lids on.##side note: wash and dry the buckets before putting on the lids.

The bucket ring is difficult to install since it is an airtight fit. Heating the ring with a hairdryer softens the plastic and helps ease this tight fit.
