5 gallon lids?!

[Get_Training]

I have my share of 5 gallon food grade buckets, but I’ve been testing the regular “easy off” 5 gallon lids. They don’t provide an air tight seal for crap. I’m looking for a place to get food safe lids for 5 gallon buckets. I’ve looked and can’t find anything promising. What do you use/ recommend?

I use the gamma seal screw on lids.

Home Depot? Lowes? I've seen several different varieties, not sure if they have what you need though.

Lowe’s and Home Depot both carry food grade

On the cheap ? talk to your local Dunkin’ Donuts for frosting/jelly 5 and 7 gallon buckets and lids

You can use mylar bucket liners. The mylar liner is sealable.
Then you can use any clean bucket and lid.
Sealable lid and food grade bucket would be better but not required.
You can also vacuum seal the mylar which is even safer and longer term food storage.

Firehouse subs pickle buckets.

Are you attempting to seal 5 gallons of material in bulk?
Just tossing my 2 cents worth in, I use food grade 5 gallon buckets but I fill them with 1qt. mylar bags filled with 2 pounds of my chosen material. Toss in a oxygen absorber, push out as much air as possible and seal with a mylar bag sealer. Then put as many bags into the bucket as possible.
The bags, after sitting overnight, will look as if you used a vacuum sealer. If you push out as much air as possible, use the correct size O2 absorber, will work great.

Gamma seal for the win, I've been using them for bulk food storage for a decade.

I've got a connect in South Fulton that I bought several barrels from. All sizes and grades. Not sure if they just sell lid, but shoot a text and ask.

Just ordered from Uline this morning. The 2 piece gamma lids are $9 plus shipping/tax. I ordered 5 buckets/lid combos (food grade 90mil) for $93 out the door. Much cheaper than I could find them elsewhere.
