Silly question here.
If I buy a big sack of flour, would I put the unopened sack in the bucket or dump the flour in the bucket?
Instinct says: put the sack in, duh...
Lack of experience says: what about contaminants on the sack?
Thanks guys.

Now deferring to the judgement of horses ~ because Truth comes in 30 round bursts.
If you are storing food long term, pour the flour into Mylar bags. Then add the appropriate amount of oxygen absorbers for the size Mylar bag you are using. Squeeze as much air out as possible and seal the bag up and then put it into the bucket. For things like rice that can have insects in it, freeze the bag for a couple days to kill the insects off prior to doing those other steps.Originally Posted by MountainGirl

They sell specific heat sealers for Mylar. They are about $30 on Amazon. I would also label what is in the Mylar sacks. ;-)
