Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids 7- and 14-Cup Food Storage Containers (2-Pack)
PRIME BIG DEAL!! Only 14 cup pictured. A 14-cup snap-lid container is the easy substitute for the 6-quart commercial tub most sourdough books call for, and it actually fits in a normal fridge. Two to a pack, which is exactly what a two-loaf recipe needs.

Dimpola 9-Inch Round Banneton Bread Proofing Baskets, Set of 2
PRIME BIG DEAL!!! Two 9-inch round rattan proofing baskets with cloth liners, sized for the two-loaf recipes in Flour Water Salt Yeast and for a standard 5-quart round Dutch oven. Round, not oval, which is the part most people get wrong.
