For those who eat a lot of rice, how do you store it?

We buy the 25 pound bags from the Asian store, but I don’t have a good place to put it. It sort of sits in the corner until it is small enough to fit in a cabinet. Just wanted to see if anyone had any novel ideas. TIA.

5 gallon food safe bucket with gamma lid. Also great for flours, dried beans, and pet food.

PP again. I meant to add that I store the large quantities in the bucket and have small bins in my cabinet for frequently used items. In the buckets, I add food safe silica packets.

I purchased a specialty storage container from amazon, but it still got rice weevil (pretty quickly). Maybe it was a fluke.

Following along for advice from others

The largest glass jar with the wire/ gasket lid. I don't know what that's called.

I have a whole set of them of various sizes. For beans, dried herbs, etc, and the huge one for rice. Probably holds 5-8 pounds.

But where does this sit? On the counter?

I have a sealed plastic container that is tall and slender and I keep it in the lazy susan in my cabinet. Probably holds 5 lbs.

I have a clear food service type bucket with lid. I pour in the Costco bag of rice and put the whole thing on the bottom of my pantry.

Honestly same. Shoved into whatever space it fits in until it's small enough to fit on a shelf.

I store it in the original bag in the basement pantry, which is directly below my kitchen.

Rubbermaid 8 qt container that restaurants use. I refill as needed - rice bag is kept in the pantry, the container is kept in a bottom cupboard.

I’ve had this Aroma 27 lb rice dispenser for close to a decade and love it. You can find it for less on Amazon.

I have a canister in the kitchen cabinet that holds 5 pounds. When I get a 10 or 25 pound bag, I keep it in the back of a closet and refill the canister as necessary.

Same for us. I have three or so large ones like these:

A friend gave me some, but i have also purchased some at Home Goods. You can get replacement seals on amazon, etc., if you happen to find these at thrift or goodwill.

Rice is inexpensive enough that I would be disinclined to buy in bags so large they create a storage challenge. Just buy smaller bags.
