Kitchen little things (2)

Girls, and with that in mind. that we have several varieties of rice at home, so how many containers for rice do you use? Containers and so on, I have them even in two floors ..., corn groats, wheat, millet, rolled oats ... etc., and then there are a few more cans for rice ... where do you put all this , I have a kitchen 5 meters. Now I have several containers for rice, for rice for milk. porridge, steamed, jasmine, basmati ... Here are the last two, I put them in one container right in the bags, otherwise there is nowhere to put the containers ... And I buy different varieties for testing and acquaintance, and even rice looks like one, but the producers different and you can't mix them in one container, but I still buy them to try them ...

[ElenaM]

And I have with Ali and "for soap" and type "burgers". I use both, fill with minced meat and into the freezer.

ElenaMElena, and what is the size of one cell from edge to edge and from corner to corner of the burger mold and the thickness?

what is the size of one cell

The distance between the two parallel edges is 6.5 cm, between the two far corners is 7.5 cm. Thickness 2 cm.

[Mila56]

And I keep the macaroshki horns in their own packages ... For if you cook, then all at once, it turns out at once. Well, a package that weighs 450 grams ..

I, too, now leave everything in the bags, but AS it annoys me, I almost squeezed it, everything fell down, tilted and woke up. And as for a pack of horns, yes, of course, a pack completely goes for a side dish, but nothing for soup.
Mila56, with rice, probably everyone has it, well, or similar. I plan to start several containers, and I always leave the new rice taken for testing in the bag to remember and then not to take it again, or take it. And for a constant, I think 3 is enough for me.

[Ilmira]

I always leave the sample taken in the bag in order to remember and then not take it again, or take it. And for a constant, I think 3 is enough for me.

Ilmira, yes, probably just like that

I received the Khors silicone molds, today I baked buns in the bakery. We liked it very much, and three pieces were placed in the oven at once.

What delicious buns!
What is the recipe? I ordered two, came yesterday, now I need to bake something ...

[Ilmira]

I always leave new rice taken for a sample in a bag in order to remember and then not to take it again, or take

Ilmira, and I pour it into a container. From the package I cut out a fragment with the name and information about the manufacturer, and put it in the container on top of the rice.

[Lera-7]

I cut out a fragment with the name and information about the manufacturer, and put it in a container on top of the rice.

Lera-7, It is also an option!

I pour into a container. From the package I cut out a fragment with the name and information about the manufacturer, and put it in the container on top of the rice

I do that too. I don’t like to store it in bags - surely someone from home will not carefully rearrange, tear it ... Then collect it in the closet or even in the kitchen (if it also drops it).

Macaroons, we do not always use a 500 g package right away, so I always pour it into a 3.4 liter container (I have several of them - for different types). Spaghetti - also in special high containers. The husband loves the thinnest, the son is thicker and noodles - that's why several pieces are on the shelf. If you leave it in an open box (I don’t cook 500 g right away - it’s not eaten) - they will definitely dump it and sprinkle it on the floor ... (there were several times)

And nothing smarter came into my head than stuffing pasta and all sorts of cereals into laundry baskets))).These baskets did not take root for me exactly as laundry baskets. But for supplies in case the Americans attack us ... that's it. Enough for the first time, until "ours" arrive in time.



Well .., to be honest .. The husband is in charge of strategic reserves. I don't even know how much pasta costs and how much they'll give me change ..))) on Saturdays, he makes "shmon" in the cupboards and writes down what to buy. If he asks me how much ... rice or something else ... I don't know anything. I cook from what I find.
But I bought banks once and then through an online store.
I saw enough beauty on the tube, how the girls put things in order. I bought all sorts of cans .. Now my husband pours cereals into these cans on Saturdays so that I can take there in the week .. Rice buys long, round and steamed. He asked me which manufacturer to buy .. For me, he is all the same. I do not understand what is the difference between manufacturers.







So far these are enough for me.

I have no room for such baskets ...

[Makovka]

And nothing smarter came into my head than stuffing pasta and all sorts of cereals into laundry baskets)))

Makovka, options for where and how to store strategic stocks in pantries (far away in closets), you can come up with a lot, or apply a lot of ready-made ideas. I'm talking about another stage of storage, which are nearby for use, and here, apart from containers suitable for the needs and tastes of the hostess, there is nothing better (I think so). Cereals-macaroons, which are at hand, next to a saucepan-frying pan ... after all, every time to run into the pantry ... and then put the bag back ... put and accidentally sprinkle it?

I also have in the closet .. And also cans, all packed ..
The other day I spilled buckwheat myself.
Foolishly.
It seemed to me that buckwheat in a jar looks like maracas ..
Well, let's shake it to the music .. The lid .... such an infection .. flew off ... my whole kitchen was in buckwheat. I then raked it out for 3 days ..
Well, my husband hasn't seen this buckwheat flight ... he would have yelled for a week ..

[Makovka]

and here, apart from containers suitable for the needs and tastes of the hostess, there is nothing better

That's for sure! How many of these containers I bought, then threw away (I didn’t like them, they weren’t comfortable, not sealed, etc.).
Now I finally calmed down - I picked up those that are comfortable and like ... I use it and enjoy it.

and then the package started back ... put it back and accidentally sprinkle it?

Exactly. I picked it up - so that the required amount was included, it was "at hand", it was convenient and nothing was in the bags ...

my whole kitchen was in buckwheat. I then raked it out for 3 days ..

Makovka, Lenusha, presented ...
Therefore, I selected containers in which the lid does not fly off so easily.

Makovka, funny you, Adnaka

I had a different story with cereals. Friends arrived with a little 2-year-old daughter. And in order to keep her busy, her SMART mommy offered to give two bowls with different cereals, so that she would play like sand, and, maybe, choose one from the other.
Well, I like a fool fell for this venture.
They gave the little girl two bowls with buckwheat and peas ...

Then for six months in all the nooks and crannies, in the sofa folds, pillows, I chose that buckwheat and peas

[Mila56]

Mila56, Lyudmila, I also have a similar situation. When cooking for one person, our supplies are consumed slowly. Therefore, I stopped buying parboiled rice, only round (good Arborio, Krasnodar) and long-grain ordinary or Jasmine. If I see packages of a small volume, I give preference to them. I try not to buy one type of cereal from different manufacturers at the same time, but one by one.
If there is little grain left I pour from the larger container into the smaller one. And also, like many, I cut out the name of the cereal and the manufacturer from the package and put it in a container.

Made a foray into the WB
I've been looking at containers for work for a long time. And then the price fell and grabbed.
The CURVER firm turned out to be very worthy.
I bought a cup for soup, but the inscription 0.9 did not tell me anything. A bucket, not a cup. But I could not refuse)))
A container for steaming. I have long wanted it for a portion.


And a small baking dish. I have been looking for it for a long time, but all the babies did not come across. For cooking PP recipes for yourself alone.


I will remove the links under the spoiler, suddenly someone is interested

[Maria]

If there is little cereal left, pour from a larger container into a smaller one. And also, like many, I cut out the name of the cereal and the manufacturer from the package and put it in a container.

Maria, I also cut out the name of the cereal from the package before. And now I just open a new pack of cereals, cut off the top of the package in a straight line and put it right in this bag into an still empty container, it fits tightly there. To pour rice from there, you don't need to take out all the packaging, just open the lid and tilt the container with its side. But for several bags with the remains of this different rice, it is not rational for me to use several half-empty containers. Therefore, if, say, 4-6 spoons of rice of different varieties remain, and I do not plan to buy these varieties in the near future, then I put them in one large container, right in their own packages, and gradually I will use them for soups, meatballs, etc. Although it is really good to store these leftovers in small containers, the space for containers is sorely lacking.

Now my husband falls asleep in these banks on Saturdays so that I can take there during the week.

These are the jars I use. There are both large and small, there are also with a dispenser in the lid (green cover in the second photo), and there are without this dispenser. On those without a dispenser (they have a flat lid with a small rim along the contour), it is just convenient to put another can on top. Only the jars themselves are not colored, but transparent, I specifically wanted them so that they were not cloudy, made of soft plastic.

What delicious buns!
What is the recipe?

Svetlana, did it by eye from what was.
Flour / s 530g, salt 1 h. l, sugar 2 tbsp. l (spoon from a bread machine), 1 egg, 100g, yogurt, 2 tbsp. l rast. oils, 10g of fresh yeast, water.
I have two batches for three forms.
After proving, the buns were greased with milk and sprinkled with sugar. Hot greased with butter.

[dana77]

dana77,
I almost got caught with such a cup, or rather, with the volume))

As a result, I bought this one 565ml (still too big), but I love her dearly

And a small baking dish.

Nataliacool baby

[Antonovka]

Antonovka, Lena, I also wanted the System, but in the reviews they write that they are flowing. And I don't really want to shovel the soup out of my bags.
How are you with that? Flowing, not flowing?

[dana77]

dana77,
Natasha, I don’t wear soup, and a colleague from time to time - like nothing (mmm). It seems to me that the main thing is not to pour up to the top and that the can is

I also think about a soup tureen for one portion for heating in a microscope at home ... As I understand it, it is more convenient for it to have a larger diameter in the upper part, it is more convenient to eat with a spoon, and if the tureen is narrow, then you probably need to tilt it in order to scoop up the soup in a spoonful. The fix is ​​full of tureens, without a lid, which will have to be covered with a lid for a micra, and recently I saw a tureen made of dark glass with handles, the top is wide, I liked it. But I don’t know if I need it, I’m still heating in an ordinary plate, but I don’t want to litter the space. In general, I'm in thought about the need for a soup tureen in the house for warming up in a micro ...

I'm on the issue of the need for a tureen in the house for warming up in a micr ...

Well, the owner of course is a gentleman.)))
At home, it’s okay to eat from a plate, but at work you have to pour it into a jar, then pour it all over or rattle with a spoon over the jar. Inconvenient. Therefore, I am looking for an airtight and portioned one.

And I don't really want to shovel the soup out of my bags.

In, in, I'm afraid of this, so it's easier and safer for me to bring the soup to work in a half-liter glass jar with a lid, in the old fashioned way, or in a tall container with a screw lid. But I try not to overturn the banks on the way.

It seems to me that the main thing is not to pour up to the top and that the can is

And I want to lie and not flow
My bags are narrow and standing there doesn't fit well.

In general, I made myself worries. But I definitely don't want to eat in the dining room. From the table food, the sides grow ((((
I'm thinking of buying Redica 03 and cooking right at work and no cans are needed.

but at work it is already necessary to pour it into a jar, then pour it all over or rattle with a spoon over the jar. Inconvenient.

It's not advisable for me to pour over at work. In winter, there is no water at work, these are such wild conditions as in the country without amenities. No, of course we bring 5 liters to replace ..., but we also need to wash our hands several times and wash the glass, and two more bottles of 20 liters per month are supposed, this is for 5 people, they all do not work every day at the same time, but replace each other friend. So our water is worth its weight in gold, in what you brought food, in that gray and eat

these are such wild conditions

Oh ho ho, glorious ORSK!

[Natalia]

Natalia, yes, this is Orsk, wild in places, but at work you still try to be good

Plot design # 520

wild in places

And I liked your city. We were there in spring 2015. Cozy town. Everything is at hand.
Tulips in the steppe were still blooming. The beauty!!!

I just think that under the macarosh horns, probably, a bigger container should be looked after, 1.8-2 liters. In such and the nest will fit well.

I also store 1.5-liter macaroons, a small expense.
I've noticed that sometimes we eat pasta right every other day, we want it so badly, and then that's it, stop, ate and a couple of months - a lull, and we won't remember.
And I tried it with rice, sometimes dry, sometimes tasteless, now I take a variety of Kamolino or Baldo for everything: for milk porridge, just rinse, for pilaf - soak and rinse well.

I'm also thinking about a soup tureen for one portion for heating in a microwaire at home ...

I use such Luminarkovsky circles

I don't warm up in the plate, they are not very large, they are heated and therefore it is inconvenient to get them.
A mug with a handle.

I liked your city. We were there in spring 2015. Cozy town. Everything is at hand.

Yeah. They only ruin it diligently ((.

I use such Luminarkovsky circles

And I am such a soup, only my beige ones. Very comfortable.

[Natalia]

Cozy town

Natalia, yes, the city is quiet, well-groomed in many places, the city lives mainly a calm and measured life

I use such Luminarkovsky circles

WIKI, I just saw a similar one recently, only it is not with a handle, but with ears - handles on both sides. Here I liked it just. Does the handle get very hot in the micr?

They only destroy it diligently

Yeah,

such an industry was developed here, which just was not ...

in case the Americans attack us

Are you serious???

[Mila56]

Mila56, the point is that the handle does not heat up. And it's more convenient for me to pull it out with one hand.

[WIKI]

the point is that the pen does not heat up

WIKI, ahh, that's another matter, then you have to buy

I didn't buy it on purpose, it's just that since the 90s I had all the dishes in this style, well, I additionally, which was not in the set, bought something in addition. Including these circles. Now this set has been removed all except for these mugs. For me personally, there is nothing more convenient for warming up soup.

for warming up soup, no.

My husband drinks this tea and does not recognize other sizes)))

A container for steaming. I have long wanted it for a portion.

Has conducted tests.
Cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Sprinkled with spices. Cauliflower and beans from the freezer.
I poured some water up to the MAX mark.
In the microwave (power 800) for 20 minutes. In 14 minutes everything was ready. And the water remained at the bottom of the container. This means that you can cook for a longer time.
I am very pleased with the result.

Girls, and I, with all the variety of containers, do not like plastic for food. But I really love glass, so all cereals / pasta are in glass jars with screw lids, like all spices, bran, seeds, etc. So many glass jars of all sizes accumulate in the house, but it's a pity to throw in (there is no sorting / processing yet), therefore everything is matched in size, type. A small part of cereals (rarely used, only for oneself) are stored in packages in a 5-liter container "Archimedes" (it is convenient to pull it out even from the upper shelves with one hand). In the same container, cereals in bags for cooking, ready-made mixes for soups in packages. Everything else is packaged (including flour) or jars in large fixed-price containers.With a lack of space, such a container fits much more than if each product were in a separate small container. I cut out the composition / expiration date and leave it in a special daddy.

To work, I also began to take lunch in glass jars (well, this is generally a "trick" now, albeit with other food) - it is convenient to warm and wash.

And I recently bragged about the soup tureens: Kitchen little things (2) # 20192

[Arina]

I love glass very much,

Arina, I also love glass, but if in the pantry I can set up a three-liter, then in the closet (at hand) there is no way out, there is no room at all, so I am looking for VERY suitable plastic
In general, I remember from my childhood, canned tomatoes from Bulgaria were sold in stores, it seems they were called "Globus", the cans were 5-liter, and then our industry got used to this container, and the lids for these cans appeared on sale. Why didn’t these banks save it ... After all, for stocks in the pantry, it’s just lovely!

Great!
And I ... well, why did not my mother-in-law and my mother keep them?
The mother still had 2 non-standard cans of 4 (!) Liters and 10, moreover, with ordinary necks, to which our usual Soviet lids fit.
Why is everything wasted

There were also such cans, only 2.5 liters ... and there was also one, but recently broke ...

5 liter container "Archimedes"

looked on the Internet what it is. So many accolades! It is necessary to pay attention on occasion. Thank you
And the glass jars are round, it turns out that the place is lost, so there are a lot of all kinds of jars, it's always a pity to throw it away, I collect it)
I have a square glass container, once ordered from Ozone, for 1.5 liters. I store rice in it. But it’s so heavy! Bulky. This is if there are 5 types of cereals, then you can carefully store them in such. And when there are 25, conditionally?
I ordered plastic ones, as the girls showed, I'm waiting. I dream of tidying up the shelf with cereals

I bought these containers at Decathlon, about 0.35 and 0.65 liters. Strong plastic, screws securely. Liquid can be safely taken on the road, it will not spill.

I can't insert a picture
🔗

I have oval containers for storing cereals IDEA 1.5 and 2 liters. Convenient in that there is a recess for the fingers, stackable, a round hole in the lid with a lid that can be easily fixed in the open position, the diameter is suitable for the spoon to easily pass. Fits nicely in the hand.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, I got such cans from under the "Globe" 3 pcs. 5 liters and 4 pcs. 2.5 liters each. And there are no caps in St. Petersburg for them at all. Here the son-in-law of these covers dug somewhere far from St. Petersburg, ordered, and there is silence. After 5-7 months they called to make sure the order was up-to-date, they sent it.
And more recently, people offered such banks in good hands on the Internet. He snatched 2 more cans of 5 liters each.
So I'm rich now: with cans and lids.
I store cereals mainly in milk bottles. Some in plastic containers. Tolokno - in a glass jar.
But the spices are strictly in baby food jars.
