Re: All the Pasta in Southeast Pennsylvania

I have one problem with putting any pasta into Lock n Locks.  I can never tell how much to pull out to make a half a box or a whole one lb. box.  So what I would do is put the still boxed pasta into this container, should I ever be crazy enough to buy one this big.

@depglass   Use a dry cup to measure--1 cup equals a quarter pound, so there are  4 cups  in one pound.

 

For spaghetti type pasta I use a kitchen scale.

 

These large Lock N Lock are also great for storing bulk rice and use the dry cups  to measure that as well.

 

Hope this helps.  Have a wonderful long weekend.

Thanks for the chuckle.  I love my L&L, but I've often thought the same thing about those demos.  They seem to be pushing those large containers more than usual lately. I guess the buyer thought there was a need and now they're stuck with them.
