Tip #14: Storing Sugar

by Kim on January 19, 2012

in Kitchen, Tips

I used to store my sugar in a glass container with a lid, but the lid broke the other day.  Slipped right out of my hands and glass went flying in all directions!  Luckily Jayna was sitting on the counter and I was able to clean it up without her helping hands.  Well, I had this pitcher that I hardly ever use and thought it would be a great alternative until I got a new glass container.  Turns out I like the pitcher better!  Since I keep my sugar in the pantry, it gets moved back and forth from the pantry to the counter when I’m baking.  That handle makes it much easier to maneuver!  And, I don’t have to worry about it getting broken.

You are an absolute genius. I’ll have to see what other items would be better siuted for a pitcher… oats come to mind.

I LOVE this! I cannot wait to go pick up a pitcher, I have ceramic canisters on our counter, but I still have to keep the sugar in the bag because it’s gets all clumpy, the pitcher would fix the clumps!

Great idea – It can be a struggle to bring my sugar and flour containers out of the pantry, a handle would help.

What a great idea!! I have canisters that don’t have very tight lids and I’ve spilled sugar all over the floor more than once. This is one of those “Why didn’t I think of that” ideas! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic!! I have a heavy glass jar I bought years ago for sugar b/c it looked nice. It’s cumbersome and the lid is smaller than 1 c. This idea is genius and I can’t wait to use it.
