I've had a jar with a big chunk out of the rim and a completely smashed jar.
Bumping an old thread so sorry but mid to end of this week I should have 10L food grade buckets with metal handles available for under £3 each (likely around £2.80) plus postage. Although you've probably bought them by now!
Doh! I ordered some online yesterday evening!
For future reference, do you have a website? Or link.
You’ll have to pm me your website. Just being nosey.
Hi
Yes ... I only use 30lb square buckets these days, they fit the storage shelves much better. I bought a load a few years ago from these people but they have gone to rectangular buckets now... not tried those yet. Not cheap but they were good quality.
I prefer the rectangular ones as I can get 4 in my honey warmer rather than 3 square or round ones but as you say they are expensive.
can you dm me with details pls
If these are what you mean they look very similar to the ones I'm stocking, albeit with a different colour plastic handle:
which ones are you stocking...i prefer the plastic handles to the metal handles
Metal handles. I've had enough other tubs with plastic handles that break in time. Depending on demand, I may be able to stock plastic handled ones in future.
No longer £3.84 each for 10
Hah! So did I but I can't get the bloody labels off them. Any tips?I prefer the rectangular ones as I can get 4 in my honey warmer rather than 3 square or round ones but as you say they are expensive.
I bought a load of square ones that formally contained mincemeat for mince pies at the WSBKA auction at Brinsbury earlier this year for less than £2 but by the way things are going I may need some more pretty soon!
I prefer the metal handles. A 30 pound bucket of honey on the floor makes a right mess.
and it bleddy hurts when it falls on your foot
If the glue isn't water soluble, try very hot water in the bucket, it will often soften the glue enough for you to be able to peel the label off.
