One of my favorite home organizing hacks is using glass jars for storage! It's about so much more than organization, it also allows you to keep food fresh longer. If you are looking for an organized pantry, this is the way to do it! I hope you enjoy hearing about my pantry organization using glass jars.
This video is a part of the Get Organized HQ Playlist, be sure to check out all of the other videos here: • Get Organized HQ Virtu...
The first jars that I recommend getting are half gallon & wide mouth quarts. Look for them locally to get the best price!

That's exactly what they do, but when there is no food in the store, you will be celebrated just like I was in 2020 by my husband. I didn't have to go out and deal with the limits of only 2 pls of chicken etc. Im fortunately near farms and Amish and my local Amish had ball and harvest right and the ones with the white lids that are just generic piled high when everyone else was out and the kept tp the normal pricing, no gouging.

Thank you for the video. Glass food storage is my favorite way to go. I recently moved and had a mouse problem! NEVER in my 75 years have had a rodent problem before. They got into all manner of storage containers except the glass. Whenever possible, glass is my absolute preferred method of storage or literally everything. Vac Seal bags stored in heavy mouse-proof buckets works too, but glass is frequently easier.

I stoped using plastic when my old plastic storage contenders smell like it was leaking apart and did not want to store in them so I switched to glass. Since I got many for panning. But your information about washing and storing is such a great help. I washed when we ate them but didn’t know about saving food for longer. Thank you for helping so many people.

I painted vintage open knick knack shelving instead of upper cabinets. My husband i stalled under cBinet lights under them. All different sizes similar in height painted white. They look so cute giving our kitchen a cozy country look with the jars. Our local thrift store sells donated 1/2 gallon glass jars with metal lids used for specialty coffees for cheap. Such a money saver! Lately we had mice get into our basement pantry. Even into our salt and brown sugar which never happened before! So now everything is in glass or white food buckets.

I buy dissolvable labels for all of my go to kitchen foods. We recently did a comprehensive inventory of our “pantry”. Realistically, we could shop there for 4 years. Our farmstead is over 150 years and the rehab began with a new roof and my giant kitchen. I equipped with vintage gadgets and appliances. My wrap around eye-level shelves (except the cabinets) have beautiful half gallon and quart jars filled with colorful lentils, garden rotini, chocolate chips, homemade cocoas, etc. I love decorating and cooking, so it works for me.

Great tips. I refer single-piece lids which are easier to manage in a busy kitchen. You can buy plastic or metal lids from many aftermarket companies. Incidentally, a number of commercial lids fit canning jars. For instance, peanut butter lids and the green lids from Parmesan cheese both fit regular mouth jars. The green lids are great for shaking or spooning foods out of your jars!

Beautiful jars collection and beautiful kitchen :) I love your American traditional mason jars and their standard measure plus size system. It's so simplified and systematic to have standard manufacture across the continent let alone a country or culture! Raw rice, lentils, spices like dry red chili, herbs are traditionally sundried and then stored for yearly storage in India, in glass and ceramic jars. Even the jars of pickles are shown sun for 3 days to a week before they go to storage. The medicinal value of the grains is retained and also enhanced. If sun drying is not possible, just toast the grains in the oven or a pan, let them cool down before storing them in the glass jars as you have shown. You can do it in bulk or can just toast them just before cooking, works the same. The sundried/toasted grains and lentils are lighter to digest, an year old rice is better than new one for diabatic condition. As you are diabetic, please consider this healthiest way to cook rice - 1) Wash the grains, strain 2) Boil water (for 1 cup of raw rice, 5-6 cups of water), add washed rice 3) Cook the pot on open flame, do not keep lid. 4) After 20 minutes, rice will be cooked, check for a grain if it can be mashed on the finger easily. (Brown rice will take longer to cook than white rice) 5) Strain the cooked rice to drain out extra water According to Ayurveda (Indian traditional medicine), rice that is allowed to absorb all the water causes diabetes and body fat accumulation. So always add at least an extra cup of water while cooking the rice. The extra water can be fed to the plants, or here in India we make a homemade drink out of it for kids, but the spice ingredients are local.

Labor Day is coming, folks will be calling each other about birthday and Christmas lists, and then there the holiday get togethers themselves. Be sure to let folks know that you are looking to repurpose glass jars and bottles with good lids or tops. Yes your cupboards will likely end up with hodge pods of containers but after youve got your stuff in glass you can choose to begin to buy a a more uniform collection. - BTW A while back, one person began collecting green, glass, cold coffee beverage bottles from her own and co-worker's use tomdtore bulk spices in.

I found gallon and 1/2 gallon jars at the Amish store but you do have too buy the lids separately,and you can find odd sized replacement lids too and sleeves of regular seals yes even pickle jar lids too. I was blessed with my mothers and mother in laws gallon jars and found more at a rummage sale years ago and even have old blue jars from 1/2 gallon too pints, and the glass jar lided clamp tops for my grain storages. Plus I reuse all sauce jars for pickles,relish,jellies,and jams. They've lasted me for over 10 years.

You shared some really helpful tips in this video & I'm excited to hear what you share during the GOHQ challenge & to subscribe to your channel. I've never been sure how long various items will last,, so I appreciate you gave specific time guidance whether item is kept in original package or put in glass jars. Also need to relisten to what you said about when to use plastic vs metal lids. Not sure it was you, but I recently watched a video that talked about storing strawberries in glass jars in refrig. I started doing that a week ago, but used metal lid, so some of the berrries (strawberry & also cherries) have started to go bad. Probably cuz I left them in the original bags for a week before transferring them to glass jars.

The reason you don't see pint and a half jars by Ball is because they stopped producing them. When I visit thrift stores I check kitchen wares first. Every so often I will find one of those jars tucked into a pack of quarts. If you choose this route, I hope you have success. I was able to obtain five boxes before Ball stopped producing them. They are perfect for the amount I need when storing stock. Hope this helps. Be blessed.

I love storing in glass jars. I've typically used the white plastic from Walmart or the grey plastic lids from Ball because the metal lids end up being too tight for me to unscrew 😅 but the plastic lids can get so expensive!!! I'll try the metal lids again soon and compare difference between how long items last

I have always heard that food stores better in a DARK, cool environment. Doesn't that make food stored in glass jars spoil faster?

If I am storing dry goods in the glass jars for short periods of time (say only for a few months at a time), can I use the plastic lids instead of the metal lids?

Only heard one mention about NOT vacuum sealing the jars.. Will these items keep for mentioned time without vacuum sealing -- and without moisture absorbers?
@TheCrossLegacy
@TheCrossLegacy 6 күн бұрын
Yes without vaccum sealing them. I will occasionally vac seal large quantity of herbs that I want to last over the 3-5yr mark but 99% of them I don't vac seal if I am not storing for long long term storage (over 5 yrs) If you are interested more in that kind of storage I have a couple videos I can find for you.

@@TheCrossLegacyThanks. Did you dehydrate these or just add them straight from the bulk bags to the jars. I have a few bulk herbs in large glass jars with airtight lids, but not sure how long they will last stored that way. I generally toss them after a year if I haven’t used it all.
@TheCrossLegacy
@TheCrossLegacy 5 күн бұрын
​@phoenixxfinancial they are bulk purchased. Just depends on how to store them, if they are getting light on them but up to 10 years is a pretty safe answer
