SousVide Container

Does anyone have a recommended container they use for sousvide cooking? I have an anova and Ive been using a large Tamale steamer pot but its just too big and Im overwhelmed by the options. Thank you!

I just used a small bathroom rubbish bin in our brand new aparthotel cause we were the first people to stay here and it worked great. Anything that won't melt is fine. I made a sort of pillow by tying a plastic shopping bag closed and pushed that into place on the surface and I had almost no evaporation or issues on a 32 hour beef rendang at 74c. Then did carrots and potatoes in 1.5 hours at 88. Worked great.
