Some varieties come only in large bags.

If you eat a lot of rice, 25 pounds won't last that long, so why worry about it?


Because then OP is then going to buy another 25 lbs and is looking for a more attractive storage solution than a constant bag of rice in the corner of their kitchen?


Why would you put it in the corner??


Did you read the first post?

I know it’s shocking but not everyone lives in 5000sqft homes with butler pantries.

I store it in the original bag but place the entire thing in a large dogfood bin with wheels that i got from the container store. It works great.

Following along for advice from others

Rice weevil would be in the bag to start unfortunately

Stainless steel big containers. I keep whole wheat flour and rice in stainless steel containers. I store around 20 lbs of each.

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 shelf for dry goods. It's a literal bookshelf, but it tucks nicely into a weird window nook in my kitchen. Herbs growing on the top shelf, jars of flours/ sugars/ beans/ rices (I have like six kinds, but only white and brown are in big jars-- wild, sushi, arborio, etc in smaller ones) on the middle two shelves. Bottom shelf for the bigger pots.

It's a small city house, but we make do!

Do you consider this a novel idea?
