Cereal Storage

Does anyone store their cereal in those sealable canisters? Does it stay fresh for a while...The boxes hardly fit in my cabinet and it looks so sloppy...

Re: Cereal Storage

We bought a set of tupperware storage containers in all shapes and sizes and use that. It's great. The cereal lasts much longer!!

Re: Cereal Storage

I dont want to store John Anthony's cheerios in anything because he gets a kick out of the box
John, even though he doesnt eat much cereal, is also a 'read the box while you eat' kinda person so this would take the fun out of it
I have used the tall plastic storage containers (like a 2Liter size).

Thanks for posting this question b/c Im going to switch to pretty canisters instead of boxes when the new kitchen is finished. Im curious what people use for cereal, flour, sugar, etc..

Re: Cereal Storage

I bought these containers at Target:

I just tried some cereal that has to be well over 6 months old and it tasted fresh.

I just bought a Michael Graves 4.1 Liter from Target...I am unsure about the size..Which one would hold a box of cereal from BJ's (one bag)

Re: Cereal Storage

If you store it in a cabinet...rubbermaid makes one just for cereal with a spout to pour it. It is not something you want to leave out though it is just clear with a blue (I think they have different color tops)top. Keeps cereal fresh along time.

Re: Cereal Storage

I store cereal in the box.

I use these containers for Flour, Sugar, and Tea... I want to get the Biscuits jar next!

I didn't buy it from this site though, they carry them in Chef Central in Paramus.

Re: Cereal Storage

I use these for flour, sugar, brown sugar, confectioner's sugar, etc. Mostly just my baking supplies.

For cereal, we go through it really fast so we usually just leave it in the boxes in the pantry. But, for some granola and puffed wheat that I don't eat as fast, I use the Tupperware cereal containers, and they are great at keeping stuff fresh.
