try Mirador on Division St, they have the Harch earthenware crock (with a water seal) in a couple sizes, exactly the right tool for the job.

It’s a food grade bucket that Kornblatt’s Deli donated to my husband’s kim chee cause about three years ago. You’re right, not every plastic bucket is BPA free, but these were the buckets they used for pickle storage, so I figured we were safe. That said, lead-free earthenware would be even better. Where do you get your fermentation containers?

Kelly, is your plastic kim chee bucket BPA-free? If not, you might want to switch to glazed, lead-free earthenware.
