EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION: PANTRY STORAGE

We aim to shop as little as possible and being a SAHM, have time and enjoy making meals "from scratch". We buy dry ingredients in bulk. We organise items in our pantry cupboards according to use: i.e. a section for hot drinks, a lower shelf for cereals/breakfast items, baking flours and sugars, nuts and dried fruits/seeds together, etc. Below are our pantry planning lists. We have included the Tupperware Modular Mate container shapes and sizes we use in the Food Preserving Kitchen (these have taken us almost 10 years to purchase these at parties as guests and hosts). You can also take our lists as an inspiration to organise your pantry using Tupperware, glass jars or other good sealing containers. We are fans of Tupperware because the seals are high quality and will last for generations! Buying in bulk saves us money (AND reduces plastic packaging). We have a large spice collection too - the Tupperware spice containers are filled from our quart jars of spices in the larder (the more often you open a container, the quicker it spoils). With spices and ingredients readily accessible, you will find yourself using them more often - preserving and preparing meals for you and your family to enjoy.
  
Tupperware's Modular Mate Storage System
Airtight, modular containers available in square, rectangle or oval shape. Heights of MM can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 (i.e. 2 x oval#2 stacked = height of a #4). The lids can be solid or the ovals have the option of a pour-all seal i.e. to pour cereal or sugar. The containers you use will depend on your quantity of ingredient and cupboard space, you can call your local Tupperware representative to discuss or work it out yourself and host a party (to get some free) or buy a container here and there to build your collection.
