Order in everything is the rule of the ideal hostess. Especially it relates to the organization of the working space, which is a couple of square meters in the kitchen. Unfortunately, the apartment dimensions somewhat narrow the dominion of the cook. On the one hand, it’s very convenient: turned around - table, turned around - oven. “Everything is at hand,” the optimistic housewives will say. But, as a rule, it is precisely what is "at hand" that falls out of the shelves of wall cabinets. Especially annoying are numerous packages with cereals, in which the contents are only half a pack. Perhaps, we will begin with them. We pack them in special cans for bulk products, which can be placed on a separate shelf. Thus, we will not only provide pasta, rice and buckwheat with an optimal storage option, but also free up space in cabinets.
Glass jars for bulk products
What should be the storage tanks for cereals? Most housewives prefer to use ordinary glass jars. From a hygienic point of view, this is the most appropriate way to store cereals. However, aesthetes prefer more original glass containers with tight-fitting lids. Specialty stores offer glass jars for bulk products in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. Their covers are either made of glass using a special sealant and latches, or metal with a thread for twisting. A significant minus of such containers is the fragility of the material and weight.
Plastic cereal containers
Due to their shape, plastic containers take up less space on the shelf. In addition, they are equipped with a special dispenser on the lid, which keeps the cereal from spilling. There are a lot of rumors about the harm caused by plastic to the human body. But this does not mean that humanity should abandon the use of this material completely. You just need to choose products that match the proper quality. The latter is confirmed by a certificate that a bona fide seller must have. However, plastic containers must be used strictly for their intended purpose. It is foolish to be indignant about spoiled pickles if you put them in jars for bulk products. The purpose of the container is indicated by special markings on the product.
Tin boxes
Many housewives probably remember the time when a bright tin can for bulk products served as a great gift. But the times of scarcity are gone. Now tin boxes with specks do not surprise anyone. Moreover, modern products are made of higher quality stainless steel. The advantage of tin containers is their durability. However, one significant drawback still does not speak in their favor: tin cans for bulk products are very afraid of moisture. And this implies certain efforts to care for them. You can clean and wash them with any detergent, but you will have to wipe them until the walls completely dry. A small amount of moisture trapped on the inner surface can not only serve as the beginning of the corrosion process, but also give a metallic taste to the contents of the container.
