Organize Your Baking Ingredients

I like to keep my kitchen counters relatively free of clutter. The idea of canisters on my counter for flour, sugar, etc. does not appeal to me. Instead, I keep these items hidden in my cupboard in Rubbermaid storage containers.

I even used by husband’s label maker to label the containers (I totally made fun of him when he bought that label maker but I loved using it for this – don’t tell him!) Labeling the items might seem a bit excessive, but when you store items such as regular flour and gluten-free flour, labels are really important.

I also used different sized containers, depending on the item. Obviously, I need a larger container for flour than I do for chocolate chips.

I bought my containers years ago (probably at Walmart), but I found some similar ones on Amazon if you don’t have a Walmart in your area. They come in a variety of sizes – [easyazon_link asin=”B003BKGJ1A” locale=”US” new_window=”default” nofollow=”default” tag=”cherylshire03-20″ add_to_cart=”default” cloaking=”default” localization=”default” popups=”default”]Rubbermaid Dry Food Container [/easyazon_link]
