- ADVICE FROM MAMA: While ny father used an old-fashioned enameled pan in which to soak and marinate the herring, I prefer to use those nice plastic containers that come in different shapes and sizes, each with its own lid.
- They're manufactured by Rubbermaid and sold in grocery stores and hardward stores.
- Sometimes progress is great.
