Like a religion.

If you don't here in the humidity capital of the universe, you will come down for breakfast to discover that an entirely new species has formed in your kitchen overnight.

Worst was the glass ketchup bottle when the kids were little.... remember you had to really shake that bottle

I've cleaned up the kitchen of that red stuff many times

Re: Lids On

I had a friend who worked in a bakery, she told me when the big sacks of flour came in they had to sieve it to remove the weevils.They are harmless of course and a source of protein but the thought of eating them is not pleasant.

Any 'dry goods' can attract pests. A couple of years ago I bought some organic bread flour and opening it a flour moth flew out. I contacted the producer and they sent me 6 bags of flour to compensate.

I have a store cupboard with unopened dry goods, anything open is stored in airtight containers.

We always ensure lids are replaced correctly.

Those Kenco coffee jars are too difficult to get on straight.

Re: Lids On

I have never had a problem with them, we drink Kenco coffee.

Re: Lids On

I had a funny lid incident the other day. I bought some air freshener pearls.. they are 100s of little jelly pearls in a container with perfumed oil. The instructions said remove the cap peel back the foil cover replace the cap and place on a protected surface... sounds simple enough except the cap snaps on and a I thought it screwed on..... result... about 1000 oily perfumed pearls all over the lounge floor.

It still stinks in the lounge even though I think I managed to collect them all

Must be my eyes then.

Re: Lids On

I always put lids back on. But I once remember a bag of flour had some of them nasty weevil things in it, I was horrified. They need to make flour in different containers with lids on!
