Anyone keep crackers in refrig?? I keep my crackers in a lock & lock container, but was wondering if they could be stored in refrig. I don't have alot of storage/pantry & I keep my flour in there.

I keep crackers in a Pringles can and do not refrigerate them.

I usually use one of those slide and seal clips like Mark Charles sells. There was a different brand on here a long time ago and I have really short ones, about 4'' and then I slide it back into the box.

*ETA* Gripstic is the name of the first ones, no handles except for the largest one.

I would never think of storing crackers in the fridge (or freezer) as I'd think they'd get damp and soggy, but perhaps I'm missing something in the process there. I'll have to check out the website posted above.

For me, the only way to keep crackers fresh is in Lock and Lock or similar type container, or if you don't have that, an old fashioned tin. There used to be one made years ago, just for saltine storage, but any old cookie tin will work.

Don't know if this helps but I use a regular cracker storage container. It belonged to my Mother and probably is a good 30 to 40 years old and works like a charm. It was made by Premium and looks just like a box of premium crackers. Tad worse for wear but really works. Have no clue if they are still available.

ok,that is a great idea for when I open a sleeve of Ritz or whatever. I use a tall lock n lock that holds 4 sleeves and it's in my pantry. It is perfect and keeps them fresh. But when a sleeve is open it would be easier to slide them into the Pringles can in a cabinet. My nieces could access them easier.

I also use Lock n Lock. For saltines I leave them in the wrapper and put them in a L n L that fits the 4 sections. I also remember those containers.
