How to store cereals?

Girls, what do you store all sorts of cereals in? Show off I don't really like Ikea because of the shape. Somehow a lot of free space remains between them. I like the rectangular shape better.

These are for example

They are hermetically sealed, but is it necessary ???

Another container from this series, otherwise the photo there is not successful

I store popular cereals and pasta in rectangular ones from the fixed-price list. I put it sideways on top of each other and with a jack because they are narrower from below than from above. You can, of course, put it humanly, but in my locker it is clearer and more cans fit.
And those that you rarely need to buy (all sorts of legumes, for example) in any banks and packages.

I like these cans, they are hermetically sealed and of different sizes. all rectangular, so they are compact.

Now I store cereals like that By the way, it's time to replenish stocks

[Mandraik Ludmila]

Mandraik Ludmila,
Ideally!!! It doesn't take up much space. I'll have to try - just 2 banks require replacement. People, they are airtight, holes, for example, in the lid - did you?

This plastic is not in vain considered disposable ...

[Kara]

Kara,
Ir, and what about the rest of the container? I obviously don't have glass.

Lena, plastic is different. Compare food storage containers and milk bottles (such as pictured). The same plastic in your opinion?

[Kara]

Kara,
I don't even know) For me, food grade plastic should not be disposable. How can he start to secrete something when, for example, a liter of water is drunk from him?

Maybe not the same, but if products used without heat treatment are sold in it and nothing will happen with cereals? Disposable does not mean necessarily harmful.

[Lena]

Lena, everything is sealed, I did not make holes. If God forbid that it starts, firstly, it is immediately obvious, and secondly, it will not crawl into another cereal. I have been storing cereals for the second year already, I learned from us here, it seems that the now absent Donna Rosa shared an idea.

[Antonovka]

How can he start to secrete something when, for example, a liter of water is drunk from him?

Antonovka, Lena, be careful !!! In our summer season, just every other day somewhere they say or write that plastic bottles with water after opening must be drunk within 2 days, they must not be left in the car in any case ... If left - for disposal and in no way case do not drink this water already.

So in words KaraIra has something to think about

Girls, what do you store all sorts of cereals in?

lira3003, Rita, we have an excellent topic, now a little forgotten, but there are many ideas, and for cereals there is one

Order and storage in the house

In our summer season, just every other day somewhere they say or write that plastic water bottles after opening must be drunk within 2 days

here it is not clear: it turns out that a closed plastic bottle is safe, but an open one is already dangerous?
How does opening affect the properties of the plastic the bottle is made of?

How does opening affect the properties of the plastic the bottle is made of?

I read that some kind of reaction with the release of something dangerous to humans, such as formaldehyde, is especially dangerous when used with alcohol, even with kvass and fruit drinks.

How does opening affect the properties of the plastic of which the bottle is made?

I looked at the Russian Internet regarding the answer to the question "How many days can you store water in a plastic bottle." The term is given a little longer than 5-7 days ...

In general, since water is drunk from a bottle "from the neck", microorganisms multiply inside, multiplied by the heat in a closed car, where they forgot this bottle under the seat ...

Banks and containers for storing cereals will be a separate topic.

Fine!
I'm in no hurry. If there were no containers at all, then I would be in a hurry. And so, I just wanted to change the old round ones to the new rectangular ones. So far I have only realized that it must be glass or polypropylene ...

How does opening affect the properties of the plastic of which the bottle is made?

also thought ...
And what about the water they bring us for coolers in 20 l bottles? They're reusable!

since water is drunk from a bottle "from the neck", microorganisms multiply inside

I think this is the dog of that ...

[releases toxic substances]

The most common container these days is a plastic bottle. We often pour water into it several times and thereby harm our body.

What types of plastics emit harmful chemical compounds?
A plastic container can release hazardous chemicals. Pay attention to the special icons on the bottom. Triangles with numbers indicate the type of plastic the bottle is made of.

A bottle labeled "1" (PET or PETE) is safe for single use only. In the presence of oxygen, when heated or in the sun, such a bottle releases toxic substancesthat fall into the water.
Avoid bottles labeled “3” and “7” (PVC and PC), as they emit toxic substances that can penetrate food and drinks, and, if exposed to the body for a long time, can cause dangerous diseases.

For reusable use polyethylene bottles (marked with the numbers "2" and "4") and polypropylene bottles (marked with the number "5" and the inscription PP) are suitable. They are relatively safe if kept in cold water and disinfected regularly.

Plastic bottles are a suitable breeding ground for bacteria. Drinking water from a reusable plastic bottle is like licking a toilet seat or a dog's toy, and sometimes even worse, scientists say. Bacteria levels in these bottles often exceed safe limits. We ourselves create the ideal conditions for the growth of microbes when we take a bottle with dirty hands, rinse it poorly and keep water in it at room temperature.

What to do? Wash bottles regularly with warm soapy water, vinegar, or an antibacterial oral solution.

By thoroughly rinsing the bottle, we can still catch food poisoning and even hepatitis A. Research has shown that the largest number of bacteria live on the necks, which are not always possible to rinse thoroughly. Screw caps, slider caps are teeming with germs that enter the mouth. To keep yourself safe, use a drinking straw.

Bottle marked "1" (PET

Yo-my .. and I always carry this one with me. She's so comfortable, 250 ml.

[Galya]

Yo-my .. and I always carry this one with me. She's so comfortable, 250 ml.

GalyaI have been paying attention to labeling for a long time, and I am surprised when people mindlessly re-fill drinks in "bad" bottles. It's just that I don't often need to carry water with me and it's easier for me to buy a fresh bottle for 1 time. And you just pick up specials with the necessary marking. bottle and you will be happy.

And you just pick up specials with the necessary marking. bottle and you will be happy.

Well, yes .. we must now look. But I suspect that everything is disposable. It's just not easier for me to buy a new one. To buy it, I need to spank 2 km to the nearest supermarket .. But in general, I have had a bottle for three years or more, until it got poisoned .. But thanks for the info.

but if in it products consumed without heat treatment are sold

What products in such bottles are sold without heat treatment?
Ilmirushka has already written about the marking, I will add a little

PET or PETE (code PETE, sometimes PET and number 1.) - polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PET plastic). This is the material from which plastic bottles are made. They can release heavy metals and substances into the liquid that affect the hormonal balance of a person. PET is the most commonly used type of plastic in the world. It is important to remember that it is intended for ONE TIME use. If you pour your water into such a bottle, then get ready for the fact that some alkaline elements and too many bacteria may enter your body, which Pets literally adore.

PVC - polyvinyl chloride (PVC plastic). Items from this material give off at least two hazardous chemicals. Both have a negative impact on your hormonal balance. It is a soft, flexible plastic commonly used for storing vegetable oil and children's toys. It is also used to make blister packs for countless consumer products.

LDPE - high density low density polyethylene (LDPE plastic). This material is used both in the production of bottles and in the production of plastic bags. It does not release chemicals into the water it stores. But it is safe only in the case of a container for water. It is better not to buy bags from it in the grocery store: you can eat not only what you bought, but also some very, very dangerous chemicals for your heart.

PP - polypropylene (PP plastic). This plastic is white or translucent and is used as packaging for syrups and yoghurt. Polypropylene is prized for its thermal stability. When it heats up, it doesn't melt. Relatively safe. Such dishes do not change their properties even at 150 * C. But it easily lends itself to chemical attack, releasing dangerous phenol and formaldehyde. Therefore, you cannot drink alcohol from such dishes and store fatty foods in it - for example, butter and vegetable oil!

PS - polystyrene (PS plastic). What kind of material is often used in the manufacture of coffee cups and fast food containers. When heated, however, it releases hazardous chemicals. Polystyrene is an inexpensive, lightweight, and reasonably strong type of plastic that is NOT SUITABLE for storing HOT FOOD and beverages. Remember this when using disposable dishes, almost all of them are made of polystyrene. If it is not possible to refuse disposable tableware, it is better to give priority to tableware made of paper.

It follows from this that only polypropylene dishes are conditionally safe for reusable use. Milk bottles (which Dandelion has in the photo) are NOT polypropylene, but PET

[Irina]

Irina, cereal is not an aggressive environment, so everything is fine, it will not absorb anything into itself, and even this is food grade plastic. When we pour kvass into lemonade bottles, then we use them only once, then we throw them away, but here there is no danger. In addition, for example, I rinse all the cereals before cooking.

[Kara]

Kara, kefir for example. We do not keep cereals warm, do not drink from the throat, rinse them before cooking, cook them.
But of course everyone decides for himself. Not only do I store compote in a bottle of milk in the refrigerator, I also pour it hot in the sink to cool it - I'll go and see what it says, thanks. Not for centuries the same bottle of course, but still ...

Girls, you are absolutely right, everyone decides for himself and his family. The main thing is to get complete and reliable information about the subject. And then what to do with it is a personal choice.

[Marina]

I like these cans, they are hermetically sealed and of different sizes. all rectangular, so they are compact.

Marina, that's how I like it too. I do not want round or tapered to the bottom.But, it is your containers that are not budgetary, unfortunately ...
I'll go to Auchan, try on the covers for the ones I photographed. If they fit, I will probably dwell on them. Moreover, you can warm and freeze in them. And I just keep it.
They are polypropylene. If, I understood the girls correctly, then this is slightly better than the rest of the plastic. Although, of course, worse than glass.
Or spit on appearance and pour everything into glass jars ... however, I also have to go buy them. Eh, I don’t want to play checkers with cans

Oh, I have a reusable bottle - hdpe.

I will go to Auchan

Ritul, I have ikeevskie! Very convenient Two shelves can be stuffed with non-pushable
I've already shown somewhere ..

They are hermetically sealed. For a year, none of the strangers started

Kara, Irina, I remember your containers. When I saw it, I ran to feel it in Ikea. In the topic Kitchen furniture
I now also have such transparent, though round. So mine, over time, not only became cloudy, so they almost do not bend. I don’t know how to explain, they were scratched and there are cracked. Of course, it depends on the manufacturer .. And how are yours? Do you wash them often? I may have overdone it, but I wash it almost always as soon as the contents run out, only then I fall asleep from a new pack.

I finally can in my PM, no difference! As they were a year ago, they remain so

so they do not bend almost

I don't understand what you mean at all. Mine did not bend at all from the very beginning. Dense resistant plastic. Do you need containers for bulk products to bend?

[Irina]

Dense resistant plastic. Do you need containers for bulk products to bend?

No, thanks. I was trying to describe them.
Irina I also choose containers for my sisters, so I will take into account their opinions.

The ones that I showed in the first message, I found in IM almost half the price. So I'm trying to figure out whether I need to save. And won't the savings come out sideways ...

And for some time now I have given up on cans
I store cereals in their original packaging, i.e. in bags. I bought clips and just close the opened bag with a clip. Places are taken by packages at times less.
I see without wondering what is where, expiration date, cooking time. All packages fit in one small box. The less remains in the package, the less space it takes.
Previously, it was often stored in banks on the bottom, I did not want to add fresh, and sometimes even pour the leftovers where. Clips close very well so nothing wakes up

I store cereals in their original packaging, i.e. in bags. I bought clips and just close the opened bag with a clip. Places are taken by packages at times less.

I used to keep that too, but it was very inconvenient! Until you find the package you need, the rest must be removed from the cabinet, then folded back. And again, everything was piled on top of each other, heap-small, it looked terrible. And it fit much less than it is now in containers. What used to take two shelves (which is in the photo above) in the closet and two more huge boxes on the shelf on the balcony now fits on this one shelf.

Previously, it was often stored in banks on the bottom

Those bulk products that are used infrequently and in small quantities (mung bean, gelatin, baking powder, sugar substitute, etc.), I store in small containers, what is often a lot (flour, sugar, bran, cereals, of which almost I cook porridge every day), in large ones, and add up as needed

I also store in bags, but I put open bags in plastic cube containers with lids. Each one fits several started packages at once, usually on the same topic - noodles with pasta, white rice with brown and wild, peas with beans, semolina with oatmeal.
The containers are compact, roomy and well "stackable" and fit perfectly into my open kitchen shelves.
I bought it a hundred years ago, I have not seen such for a long time, otherwise I would have bought more.

This is a great idea!

[into liquid]

For a long time I had metal rectangular containers - I gave them to my husband for screws and nails, tried different things, but for me there is nothing better than bottles.

PET or PETE (code PETE, sometimes PET and number 1.) - polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PET plastic). This is the material from which plastic bottles are made. They can allocate into liquid heavy metals and substances that affect human hormonal balance. PET is the most commonly used type of plastic in the world. It is important to remember that it is intended for ONE TIME use. If you pour into such a bottle your water, then get ready for the fact that some alkaline elements and too many bacteria may enter your body, which PETs literally adore.

In this article, Kara, they write about liquids - they are solvents, and cereals are not solvents, and although the plastic in milk bottles is PET, I believe that it is safe and convenient to store cereals in them. So the information in the tyrnet about the harmful properties of plastics for bulk products is, to put it mildly, greatly exaggerated. In general, I am very critical of information in tyrnet, they lie out of the blue, you don't even understand why, and then we take the rap and usually with our wallet.

Modern packaging of 800g just fits into a bottle. I'm not campaigning for anyone, it's really up to everyone to decide for themselves, but I'm happy, it's so convenient for me, everything is visible and takes up little space.

Do you keep them in open shelves or closed ones? It's just that light also has a destructive effect on the chemical composition of products.
Wherever you go, there are pitfalls everywhere. :-)

In the pencil case, behind the door

I store in IDEA bulk containers
1.5 l

This is 1L

Stable and highly resilient.

Very convenient, high-quality containers and cost from 60 rubles to 100 rubles. Convenient to take and hold due to the deepening. The wide, round opening of the tablespoon passes freely. The lid tightly closes the hole and locks well in the open position, and if you turn the container over to pour the groats, the lid remains in any position. Such jars are 1 l, 1.5 l, 2 l. I store cereals in 1.5 liters, flour in 2 liters, which I have not yet come up with to store in 1 liter.

but for me there is nothing better than bottles ... I am not campaigning for anyone, it really is up to everyone to decide for themselves, but I am happy, I am so comfortable, everything is visible and takes up little space.

I also store what I often use in bottles, only slightly improved:

[helenanik]

helenanik, liked. Compactly.

[helenanik]

helenanik, liked. Compactly.

yes, and it's very convenient, you take out a bottle from the bottom row - the top two fall through, the cycle

[helenanik]

helenanik, I like it! In addition, I have square bottles - it will be even more convenient and practical.
Do you have some sort of organizer support for these bottles in the back, or have you imagined it?

Do you have some sort of organizer support for these bottles in the back, or have you imagined it?

yes, the box is hard cardboard, cut off 2 side edges (the top and the one at the side wall) and put the bottom and the back wall on double-sided tape, the size counted on three bottles, or more

or imagined?

In general, I imagined a hole in the back wall of the cabinet, but generally a cool idea - inspired by organizers for wine?

I tried different things, but for me there is nothing better than bottles.

So my milk bottles for cereals have taken root.

And pour flour into five-liter. And then all the cereals, etc. in glass jars. A roll in what? I do not store anything in bags, because the mole has been plaguing for a long time.

And pour flour into five-liter.

I keep the flour in the closet on the loggia:
