How do you store rice?

[Anonymous]

If you buy one of those huge bags of rice, what kind of container do you store it and where in the house do you keep it?

I use a large tupperware/rubbermaid type of container that is marketed for use with cereal.

In the basement, in the same sack it came in.

One of those rectangular oxo pantry containers. I don't decant most things, but about once a year we see evidence of a mouse or catch one, and the first thing they go for is my plastic bag of rice, making a giant mess. The container works wonders.

We use a plastic storage container with a vacuum seal lid.

I usually buy this bag of rice from Costco. I keep it in the bag. The outer bag has a zipper and inside the rice is in a separate plastic bag that I use a twist tie to close.

At one point, for a party, I bought one of those large containers of some sort of party mix, with a screw on top. I washed it and pour the rice into that. It has a nice wide mouth that the measuring cup will fit through. I keep it on the floor of the pantry in the kitchen. I can scoop out the rice from that container and screw the cap back on.

A 40 qt airtight plastic container with wheels. I have one for rice, one for flour, and one for dog food.

I use something similar - got it years ago from Bed Bath and Beyond. I use something similar for my sugar and flour

It also allows for me to store other types and lentils.

In a couple big ones of these, I have round and squares, they’re very heavy duty and have well fitting snug lids and round have handles not sure if square do as well.
