So I went and got a nice 5 lb. pickle bucket from Firehouse Subs since they're only $2 and the money goes to local fire depts. The only problem is, is that it hits you in the face with the pickle smell and I've scrubbed with dish soap, white vinegar, bleach, etc... and NOTHING is making a dent! I just read a blog on this very subject trying to research getting rid of the odor and one blogger suggested using unused coffee in the bucket and leaving it for several days to several weeks and it worked for her whereas other things did not.
I just filled it with a huge container of Folgers that was left here since I don't drink that brand and set outside in the sun. I'll leave it and see what happens. I just couldn't pass by a great deal on such a huge bucket to put my melted RSPO palm oil into since I can't handle the huge 50 lb bucket it originally came in from SC. I needed something I could fit in my sink for melting and the 5 lb bucket fits perfectly, although it's actually just a bit shorter than the original bucket lol. So obviously I won't be able to fill it all the way full if I'm going to be able to lift the darn thing into my sink. I just hope I can get that smell out, otherwise I can't use it sine I don't want pickle scented palm oil lol!
