This is helpful because it eliminates the need to store your supplies in drawers or cabinets. Keeping frequently used utensils and dry ingredients such as sugar, tea, coffee, or flour in canisters on your countertop will ensure that they are easy to access when the need for them inevitably arrives. you will no longer need to worry about the build-up of bags of sugar within your cabinets. Not only is this helpful for saving space, but it can also ensure that you use up all of your ingredients and reduce waste.

Pro and Cons of Different Canisters

Plastic canisters are lightweight and can be any color that you desire, including clear. However, plastic canisters are prone to heat damage and may not be able to keep your ingredients as fresh as other canisters can. When exposed to extreme heat such as sunlight or the dishwasher, plastic can melt. Aside from exposing your ingredients to heat which may cause them to expire more quickly. 

Glass canisters can sometimes resemble plastic canisters. But, in contrast, they are typically thicker, sturdier, and can keep your food safe from moisture or outside elements. However, due to their clear design, if glass canisters are not kept in a shaded area, they can expose your ingredients to sunlight and heat, causing them to expire more quickly. 

Ceramic canisters don’t come with all of the common issues that glass and plastic canisters do. They are thick and made from materials that are resistant to heat and corrosion. However, ceramics can be very fragile and when you drop them they are known to shatter quite dramatically. Many ceramics are also handmade which makes them less uniform and less likely to be airtight. 

Metal canisters will keep ingredients out of the sunlight and at an ideal temperature to keep them fresh and ready for you to use. It is also important to find kitchen canisters with airtight lids so that you can ensure that your ingredients are safe from contamination or moisture in the air. Most people also like to choose canisters with labels on the outside, so that they can easily identify what is being stored inside.
