Cambro (SFC6SCPP190) Seal Cover for 6 & 8 qt Camwear CamSquare Containers

I bought this lid to use with my Anova immersion circulator and the Camwear 12 quart container. This lid has worked excellently for that purpose. It's airtight (tighter than I thought it would be) and keeps heat and evaporation in the container very well.I had to cut my own hole in the top, which is actually easier than you think if you have the right tools. You'll need a 7.5 inch circumference hole for the more recent Anova models, but you can also use a rotary tool (like a Dremel) to make the hole. Here's how I did it:1. Start the hole a few inches from one of the corners. The corner opposite the handle is the best location because it gives you more room for the things being cooked, and allows you to open the container by the handle without moving the circulator.2. Use a drill with a somewhat large bit to get the hole started. It works very well to start with a small bit and get progressively bigger.3. Once the hole is big enough, use the rotary tool with a sanding attachment to keep making the hole larger. You can either measure the hole beforehand with a sharpie, or simply keep trying to put the immersion circulator through the hole.When I was done, I actually made the hole slightly larger than it needed to be. When I'm cooking with it, I'll wrap a towel around the circulator to make sure no steam can escape the container. If I've pre-heated the bath before adding the food, I'll put the food in the bath by lifting up the corners of the lid to swing it out of the way--this allows me to put the food in without moving the circulator.This lid, combined with the container it's made for, has made it much easier for my sous vide cooking because I can use less water (which takes less time and energy to heat) and easily prevent evaporation, which means I don't have to check the bath anymore--I know I'm not going to lose enough water to make a difference. This has been a great system for my sous vide setup.

Had to buy this lid separate from the container. Turns out the lid is too stiff. There is no give to the plastic. At first it looked like it should fit the 4qt container, but after several tries - it was a no go. I even put the lid on the counter and turned the container upside down and tried to push it onto the lid. That did not work. Tried warming it - that didn't help. Unfortunately, warming it damaged the lid, so now it is good for nothing. Can't even return it.

I ordered Cambro 22qrt Camsquare and purchased this as I needed a lid and this was under “Frequently Bought Together” Section. The lid is too small. I haven’t contacted the seller yet but I am hoping to get this resolved. I will update later.

Amazon gave a recommendation for a cover to match the container we chose. It wasn’t the right cover. It was in great condition. Just didn’t fit the container we bought.

This is an excellent product . This plastic ware is the safest container for brining meat. I bought the 8 quart.Unfortunately it is not big enough for 12-14 pounds turkey . A 12 pounds ham will fit in 8quart container but if one intend to brine a 12-14 Pound turkey then buy an 18 quart size. I use the actual 14 pound turkey and it is perfect. Instead of using the plastic bag this container will save a cook in the long run because the specially made plastic brining bag cost almost 3dollars single use only. Make sure you buy the lid as well .The 8 quart is perfect for smaller poultry so I kept it .This is the first time that I brined a fresh ham and having cook for more than 10 years for holiday I definetely can tell that a brine ham is 100% better.
