Do-it-yourself jars will help create comfort in the kitchen. And if tea or coffee can be stored in the same purchased packaging, then cereals will not work.
Banks from other products
Often people buy preservation in a glass jar, and then do not know where to put the container.It can be used to store cereals. Other volumetric containers made of plastic, glass or ceramic are also suitable. Tin cans can also be used (for example, packaging for canned pineapples).
So you can increase not only the hygiene of storage, but also decorate the kitchen.
The main condition is a tight coverwhich can be decorated with a beautiful ribbon. Due to this, harmful insects will not be able to get into the tank.
It is recommended to store them in a kitchen cabinet to avoid direct sunlight. In addition, there is relatively low humidity, which is also a good condition.
For rational use, consider the number of family members.If there are a lot of them, then opt for roomy jars, but with a small number you can use small tanks.
What materials are best used
There are no special restrictions on the choice of material. Great for:
- plastic;
- glass;
- steel;
- ceramics.
Grains must be immediately poured into a jar and not left in bags made of polyethylene.Otherwise, mold may appear, which is fraught with the emergence of toxic microorganisms, and simply an unpleasant odor. The product can no longer be eaten.
Before you pour cereal into a jar, be sure to check it for insects (especially flour). Surinamese flour-eaters can live there, which not only eats the product, but also pollutes it. The use of such cereals can lead to poisoning.
If you have chosen a plastic jar, then make sure that it is of good quality. Otherwise, an unpleasant odor may occur, which will be transmitted to cereals over time. It is also worth remembering that metal containers hold old odors for a long time.
How to make out
So that the jar was bright, beautiful and original, it should be properly designed. Ideas:
- decoupage style;
- hand painted;
- sackcloth.
If you decide to use the first method, then you can use any style. Cut a beautiful pattern from a napkin or card, and then attach it to the jar.
It is best to choose an opaque container for this technique. But transparent fragments will do. So the contents of the jar will be viewed.
It is recommended to coat the entire surface with varnish for extra shine. In addition, so the jar can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Handmade painting will make the jars original and unique. You can draw simple geometric patterns or complex ones, portray your favorite animals, people or paint flowers.
If you do not have special artistic skills, then decorate the container with a simple pattern. In the middle, you can write the name of the cereal in a beautiful font.
There is also a simple and quick decoration option - burlap. She will fit into the interior of the kitchen and give her country style. Burlap itself is rude, therefore, it is better to use lace, buttons or small shells.
You can make burlap as a whole jar, or part of it. It is worth remembering the disadvantage: such containers are difficult to wash on an ongoing basis, so you often have to update the interior.
Despite the correct storage, it is important to remember that any cereal has an expiration date. Her appearance may remain unchanged, but the smell changes. It is recommended that a label be attached to each container with the purchase time of the cereal.
