Good to know

Choosing and using pasta storage containers

Quick answers about airtight pasta and spaghetti containers, keeping dry food fresh and organising your pantry.

Which container size do I need for spaghetti?

Choose a tall container so spaghetti, linguine and other long pasta stand upright without breaking. Our tall 2.8 litre containers fit full-length spaghetti and come in the 4 Piece Tall set as well as our 14 and 24 piece sets. Shorter pasta like penne, fusilli and macaroni fits neatly in the 2 litre and 1.4 litre sizes.

What else can I store in pasta containers?

Plenty. They're ideal for any dry food: rice, flour, sugar, maize meal, oats, cereal, lentils, beans, coffee, nuts and snacks. For bulk flour, sugar and rice, our 4 Piece Large set has two 4.3 litre and two 2.5 litre containers, while the 0.8 litre mini containers suit spices, seeds and baking extras.

How do airtight containers keep pasta and flour fresh?

Once a packet is opened, air and humidity make pasta, cereal and crackers go stale or soft, and open bags attract weevils, ants and other pantry pests. Airtight locking lids seal out air, moisture and pests, so dry food stays fresh and safe for much longer than in folded packets or clips.

How do I organise and clean my pantry containers?
  • Store the foods you use most at eye level, with tall containers at the back and shorter ones in front.
  • Label each container with what's inside and the date you filled it.
  • When refilling, finish the older food before adding new stock.
  • Wash containers in warm soapy water and let them dry completely before refilling, as any moisture can make dry food clump or spoil.
