Seems like a decent replacement for the cambros I love at work; if only at home. Fucking restaurant ones are expensive as shit.

not using that much brine, just saying that's the bucket I use for brining shit because it's big enough for anything I'm realistically going to cook at home

[Anonymous No.6387547]

I prefer glass or ceramic for brining, but whatever floats yer boat.

Have fun with leached plastic in your pork. Those containers probably aren't made for handling even mildly corrosive liquids.

>buying food from target
here in australia target pretty much exclusively sells clothes, electronic goods and toys. The only food they sell would be chocolate and lollies. Buying PORK from target should be a capital offence

This isn't the 90's, any plastics used to contain food of any kind are made of PETE, or PET plastics, which are not reactive at all with acids on the level of vinegar (think ketchup bottle)

Dog food container should be fine

sugar, salt and worchester sauce were all equivalent, why the fuck would you want to water it down with more water than vinegar? Don't be a retard

[Anonymous No.6387730]

>>6387657
That chart is literally from a plastic distributor and is regarding mechanical breakdown. Obviously vinegar won't fucking melt your food container you dumb cunt.
>Negligible effect on mechanical properties.
This means it maintains its shape and strength, not that it doesn't leach into your food.

[Anonymous No.6387735]

>>6387730
and the fact remains that PET/PETE still has no reaction or chemical leakage when exposed to vinegar

I respect your crusade to try to make me feel uneasy about my plastic choice, but the science is on my side this time

Show me a study proving that PET/PETE leaks shit into food while exposed to vinegar and I will concede defeat, otherwise stop linking blogs from idiots who think everything gives you cancer

Looks like none of that applies to cold brining either, got anything else or anything showing what EA even does or if it is at all dangerous? 5

You did use salt in your brine right?

A lot of plastics experts and chemists ITT. God damn this is an intelligent board.

You literally just cherry picked the 76% of ALL PLASTICS TESTED line and placed it on PET, don't act like I don't know how to read a scientific paper

>Similarly, two samples of low-density PE resins (LDPE resins 1 and 2) and PETG resins (PETG baby bottle and PETG resin 1) that had no detectable EA before stressing subsequently exhibited EA when stressed, especially by UV (Table 3). Samples (n > 10) of products made from PETG resins advertised as BPA free all released detectable EA when stressed, especially by UV light. Similarly, 25% of unstressed samples of PET and 50% of unstressed PS products surveyed did not have detectable EA in assays of EtOH and/or saline extracts (Table 1). However, when stressed and assayed using both saline and EtOH extracts, all PET (n > 10) and PS (n > 10) products released chemicals having detectable EA in at least one extracting solvent (Table 3).

You're done, now shut the fuck up

Oh what's that 76% of unstressed PET samples leached estrogenic compounds into saline?

[Anonymous No.6387814]

>>6387802
>The estrogenic activity of mineral waters was examined in several studies with cell culture test systems and in one test on snails. Estrogenic activity was detected in several cases, but it was approx. 10,000 times lower than the natural estrogenic activity of beverages such as milk, beer or red wine. The comparison between mineral waters from PET bottles and others from glass bottles did not show any differences with regard to the estrogenic activity measured in the cell cultures. It must therefore be assumed that this low activity is not attributable to the PET bottle. In chemical analyses of mineral waters, no substances have yet been detected either which could have caused the estrogenic activity.

[Anonymous No.6387827]

>>6387814
So it's concluded that mineral water doesn't leach any appreciable amount of substances with estrogenic activity.
How is that relevant to a discussion regarding brine?

I hope you aren't that worried about it anon, I would bet my life's savings that you ingest PET plastic food which contains high levels of salt at least once a week
