Sorry, got to look on the bright side right

Oh, salvage operation, flood damaged stock, going cheap, I would have thought.
Who would want to cook with tubs of veg oil, that has been possibly covered in raw sewerage.

Terranos and Mavs don't mind.

I like your style there rustic

On a serious note here though, has anyone noticed how flimsy the KTC cubies are?

If you squeeze them or even put one on it's side they will start to leak from the cap

One of mine got wet and I had to take it out the cardboard. Made it nearly imposible to pour, as soon as you touched it, it squashed and forced the oil out the top. Had to leave it and put it in a cardboard box from another one once it was empty.

sent from my phone, sorry for any typo's.

To be fair, it does say on the box, not to take it out, but with this rain, keeping stuff dry is a nightmare, I put mine on a wet trolley in Costco, then pushed it back to the car in the rain, and stored it in the garage, but by the time I went to use it, the bottom of the box was a mess.

I think they make them so thin, to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Or to save on cash, believe you me, KTC do not care about the environment!!!!

As said, my dad used to work there for 21 years, I used to spend my childhood dossing in their yard on Moorcroft Drive and they have been sued more times than I car to imagine

I've not had any trouble with them, I tend to mix in 10 litres of veg as I can get the containers high enough to pour in.

I made a pouring spout for mine, and the next time I got some, the lid had changed, and used a different thread. I now have 3 different types of lid, so I can move the spout from one to the other, each time I get a new stock.
