  • Prep with me as I put 50 lbs of rice into 5-gallon buckets. We go through this much rice in about 6 months. So 2 of these lasts us for a year. This is for short-term food storage. And we get the rice straight out of the bucket, which is in our pantry. Enjoy!

    I put a large mylar bag inside the bucket first, then fill as i try and settle the rice to fit as much as possible. i can get roughly 35lbs into a 5 gallon bucket. throw 5000cc worth of oxygen absorber with a few moisture absorbers aswell. Seal the bag with hair iron. this is for best results.

    You can get free food grade buckets from your local bakery store or from any restaurant that uses pickles. I just call and ask if they have any food grade buckets that they are willing to get rid of or sale. I’ve heard some places will charge a $1 and some just give away for free.

      For long term storage of rice you will need to pour the rice into Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. The 5 gallon Mylar bags are very convenient. Then place the Mylar bags into the 5 gallon buckets for long term storage. As she says in the video, pouring rice directly into 5 gallon buckets is for short storage.

      Normal 5 gallon buckets from walmart are made from food grade plastic and only cost a few bucks, labeling them "food grade" is an ABSOLUTE SCAM as they are made from the exact same plastic but charge tons more! Not to mention if you are also heat sealing ur rice and beans in mylar with oxygen absorbers as u should be, the plastic of the jug will not matter! MOST 5 gallon buckets are food grade and they tell you the type of plastic used on the bottom of the bucket, look for "hdpe 2" the 2 will be above hdpe in the center of a triangle!

      @@SimplyCherie You fill the bucket with water and put it upside down and see if it leaks. You don't have to fill it all the way obviously. It is believed by some that the molded plastic that the seal rides on (on the screw off portion) has lines that cause the breakage of the seal. I don't own any of them so I can not tell you if it's possible to file down the lines and make them flush to make them seal properly.
