Large 6 Quart Plastic Dough Rising Bucket with Lid

6 quarts is this container's capacity. It is perfect for allowing a larger batch of your homemade bread dough to rise. Alton Brown recommends that you allow your homemade bread dough to rise in a container with straight sides so that you'll be able to tell when it has almost doubled in volume. This is nearly impossible to do in a large mixing bowl with its narrow bottom and sides that slope outward to the wide rim at the top of the bowl. I also use mine when I make homemade soup or chili in a big batch (doesn't take much more time with all the stuff out and the kitchen messy). And then, when I don't want to cook, I just just nuke it and sit on the deck instead of cooking.
