Pantry: 5 frequently asked questions

Whether you want to reorganize your pantry or are simply looking for new tips for your storage jars - we have answered 5 of the most frequently asked questions about storage jars.

1. Round or square glasses?

Both our Oleni Mason Jars and the storage jars with bamboo lids are round. Do you lose a lot of space in the cupboard as a result? No! Of course, square jars save as much space as possible, but round jars are much more comfortable to hold.

Which shape is best suited to your kitchen depends entirely on your individual circumstances . To avoid losing valuable storage space, it is best to think in advance about which supplies you want to store where. If, for example, you store your supplies in a drawer and want to be able to reach everything from above , the Oleni jars are ideal.

The storage jars with bamboo lids are easy to stack , so you can use them on the shelf or in the cupboard .

With our new wooden lids ( coming soon ) for the Mason Jars, these can also be easily stacked, as the edge of the lid is slightly raised so that the jars cannot slip away.

2. Mason jars or storage jars with bamboo lids?

In addition to the shape, there are other differences between the two collections: The storage jars with bamboo lids are, as the name suggests, ideal for supplies and have a particularly clean look . The one-piece wooden lid makes the jar easy to open and is therefore very practical to use. Supplies can be filled quickly and are ready to hand.

The labels look great on the jar - you can even attach them to the bamboo lid.

The Mason Jars are storage jars and multifunctional jars at the same time , because the thread and the two-part lid allow a variety of accessories to be screwed on and used in combination. From the lemon squeezer to the germination lid to the soap dispenser or candle holder : the Mason Jars are real all-rounders. You can find out more about the Mason Jar in this guide .

You can attach beautiful labels for storage jars to the lid of the Oleni Mason Jar glasses.

3. Apply labels

Whether you attach the labels to the top or side of the jar also depends on where your supplies are: in a drawer, a view from above is practical , and in a cupboard or on a shelf, it makes more sense to place them to the side. Think about where you place the jars so that you can see the labels at a glance.

4. What supplies fit in the jar?

Foods differ in density and volume . That's why 1 kg of sugar doesn't automatically fit in 1 liter jar. But to give you an overview of which jar size you need for which amount of supplies, we have created a guide with the most common supplies.

5. Are the glasses moth-proof?

Whether it's a storage jar or a Mason jar, with a wooden lid or stainless steel: the jars are completely airtight and therefore no food moths can get into the sealed jars. This means your supplies stay fresh for a long time.

Tip: Attach MHD

As soon as the supplies are transferred into the jar, do you quickly forget how long the supplies will last? There is a simple trick for this: simply write the best-before date from the packaging on the bottom of the jar . A chalk marker is particularly suitable for this because you can simply wipe it off with a damp cloth as soon as you fill a newer package. The same method is also great for recording preparation instructions, such as cooking times. This is particularly useful for supplies that you may not use very often and therefore do not remember.
