Storing 1.5kg flour bags...

[BeautyFromTheBlock]

Anyone found the perfect container for keeping bags of flour in?

preferably i'd like to just stick a new bag in rather than decant....

My current, lasted ten years, lot are no longer fit for purpose and I've got a drawer full of half used bags spilling everywhere.

I use an old bread bin. It’s a large, quite old, metal one. It fits in my larder cupboard. Perfect for storing all my bags of flour in. 🙂

I used to refill my McDougall box.

But now I use IKEA glass jars ..
They sit on our counter

IKEA glass jars here.

I hate chucking away flour because moths have got into them/can't stand the gross out factor of just thinking about the things. Glass jars are more secure than tins. Means I would be able to see at a glance if anything's got in or if I need to get more, too.

I thought the internet would be riddled with them - apparently not.

In theory I like the Oxo ones but they are expensive and you have to tip out the bag.
Am I going to have to take an actual bag of flour to IKEA to test.....

I use these, found different sizes in t k maxx for flour/ sugar bags etc

By the way, to avoid flour mites, put any new bags of flour in the freezer for a couple of hours and that kills off any eggs

Thank you, heading into town, will check out TKMaxx followed by IKEA, Oxo last resort!

IKEA £2.50 ones take almost a whole bag of flour ..
A bag of sugar easily...

A bag of flour fits perfectly into a 1.8l Lock & Lock rectangular storage box without needing to decant it.
