I bought one a year ago didn't use it until now I lost the pamphlet that came with it. Am I supposed to lightly grease the bucket first? I did grease it today and it seemed to take longer for the dough to rise.
You should lightly grease your bucket. I do not believe we send out a pamphlet with this item. Joan D@bakershotline

I love these buckets - just bought a second one. I usually do snap the lid on and my doughs have all been just fine. They fit nicely in the fridge, go in the dishwasher, and are super helpful. I shopped around a lot after I bought the first one, and the other, cheaper options are all a hassle or not quite right. I'd rather buy from KA and know I'm getting the right thing, and that they will stand behind everything they sell. Highly recommend!

I was a bit unsure about this since it seemed unnecessary, but I love this product! My bread rises amazingly well and does not dry out one bit. I snap the lid right on and have had no problems with lack of air. It is made in the USA and seems to be of the highest quality, nice and smooth with no weird ridges or other things to catch dough.

I have just finished making 20 dozen rolls for a church function and I know that this would have been impossible without my Dough Rising buckets - I bake bread and rolls frequently, this is a necessity in my kitchen

If only I had owned this bucket years ago. It is wonderful for the first rise in most all bread making. It's a must if you love baking bread.

One of my FAVORITE gadgets! I love being able to tell at a glance if the dough has doubled. Sturdy, easy to clean and durable.

I have two dough-doublers and two of this six quart dough bucket (plus a 12-quart behemoth). They are in constant use. Wonderful product!

This product is airtight, which prevents the bread from rising properly, defeating the purpose. I have had to go back to using a regular covered bowl instead. I had borrowed a friend's dough bucket, and hoped this would be the same, but was very dissapointed.
Try just resting the lid on top, instead of snapping it on. Mary @ KAF

Buying this item from restaurant supply stores instead of King Arthur is NOT really cheaper. The sites I found sell the cover separately from the bucket. While the bucket is cheap ($3-5), the cover ($8-10) isn't for the individual consumer, since it's sold in packs of 12. There is also shipping. In retrospect, I wish I had just included this bucket with my other orders, rather than getting it from a restaurant supplies site. If you need ten or twenty buckets, however, do go with a commercial vendor. I give four stars to this item because it's good. I have seen better (Cambro makes Camwear storage containers, which are more expensive), though that's really just a luxury item for the dough.

I must confess that I, like a few other reviewers did not buy my bucket from King Arthur. I also found it at a restaurant discount store for about half the price. I will say that I wouldn't have thought of using a bucket like this if I hadn't seen it in this catalogue. It does really help to judge the rising time and the dough rises better in a more vertical container. I avoided the problem of the "exploding dough" by using a disposable shower cap to cover the container while the dough rises instead of the lid. It works great! I have enjoyed other products from King Arthur, so keep up the good work!
