Plastic container for fermenting?

[Guest guest]

I'm thinking about getting a plastic container for making sauerkraut and

possibly kimchi. They have these containers in Japan that seem really good (and

dh is going there next week), with either a screw-top lid to keep the fermenting

veggies submerged, or a spring that pushes down on them. Would the plastic be

okay? I could then transfer the kraut to a scalded or boiled glass jar before I

kept the mixture in the refrigerator.

Thanks for the help,
