Where shall I put my big bag of flour?

[Foxtailstump]

I ended up buying a 16kg bag of flour. I’ve used about a third of it, but the bag has just been sitting on the worktop for ages getting in the way and annoying everyone. What can I store the rest in?

Can you get giant kilner jars?
Or Tupperware from eBay, that lovvverly orange [heart eyes]

I got a wicker laundry basket and shoved my big bags in there. I also use the very large lock and lock containers .

We store ours upstairs in the big room, in a plastic bucket with a lid.

I have one of these boxes that I keep rice in. It just about holds a 10kg bag (if this is actually the size I have). Allows easy storage and keeps bugs out.

In a tall plastic tub, have moved a shelf in one of the kitchen cupboards to make room for it. Something like this box

Something the weevils can't get into

Flour weevils are already in the flour. Freeze it when you buy it to kill them off.

Was going to say the same as @AuntieDolly.
Something airtight that weavils can't get into, they are a nightmare to get rid of and spread.

IKEA do really big airtight containers in the 365+ range.

Thanks everyone. I’ll get a big plastic tub. A Kilner Jar would be pretty, but I’d need loads or one so big it would be too heavy to pick up.

@WeAreTheHeroes do you freeze all your flour?
My hygiene standards are fairly lax and we’ve never had weevils.

Mine go in a huge plastic tub I got from b&m in the cellar next to another box to store large bags of rice. I them empty into kilner jars as and when needed.

No - I've never done it, but weevil eggs are in flour and one way to kill them is to freeze flour for 24 hours.

We had weevils twice.....both times the flour was bought from our local shop. Never bought from there after and never had weevils again. (We are lucky it didn't spread).
