- After our run-in with the local rodents, we are putting all our food that rodents might like for dinner into bins that will reduce that possibility. This video shows how we packed up our year's supply of pasta.

I like to store my pastas in big popcorn tins. My in-laws gave us a tin of prepopped popcorn each year and I washed them and dried them thoroughly first. They work great!
I am constantly on the lookout for those at thrift stores
Great idea, however the current and only popcorn tins I find are so small and not large like they used to be!!!!!! A long time ago I did find a company that sold the larger ones but you had to purchase a lot of them…they are probably twice as much today……☹️ haven’t looked yet……
@@KT-yq7ed 😔
I remember those.
Great idea, Lynnsmith.
We had an old freezer that was using too much electricity, we were gifted a very nice, larger freezer. I cleaned it all up (the old freezer) and it’s in the corner of our basement - holding all our dry goods! I put the stuff in the freezer for a few days, then over into the non-working one. Seems to be working good so far. I got the idea from my Mom (she’s in her mid-80’s). Smart cookie. 😊
Yes she is a very smart cookie! We just junked an old freezer I was using to raise queen bees in. I am no longer doing that and we needed the room in the garage. I wish I would have thought to do what you did! Fantastic idea.
What about the freezer smell going in your food.
Absolutely brilliant!
That's why I changed my mind and had my old freezer taken away. Even though it was clean and thoroughly dry, it still had a smell, and I was concerned that residual moisture in the air might become the potential source of mold or mildew. I guess if you store items in glass jars, it doesn't matter, but I'm not so sure about mylar bags.@@muskokalad9567
Great idea! I replaced mine and was going to get rid of it, but this is a great idea!
If your potato chips get stale, put them on a cookie sheet and put in the oven on 200 for about 5 minutes. Like new.
Or dehydrator. Works for cereal and crackers, too
If they are soft? Yeah, that works. If they have gone stale? As in the fat has started to get rancid? It might mask dodgy taste quite a bit, but the fats in it will have changed for the worse.
@@goingslowlynowhere True. I’m talking about if someone doesn’t close the bag right. Not if the chips are old.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it would work for crackers too ?
Do you think this method would work for tortilla chips too? I have a couple bags that are stale that I'd like to try to revive.
The fact that you have to explain that your counter is clean, is just crazy to me! You're a clean freak, and it'd probably be safer to eat off your floor than on most restaurant plates!
LOL! Thanks for that vote of confidence!
Don't be too hard on Jim. We all know the counters are clean but reminders are helpful. People out there get lazy unless they know cleanliness is of great importance. Wait until you interact in someone else's kitchen! Thanks, Jim.
How long will pasta keep in your bins?
Pam/Audience. With your long spag and sharp edge types of noodles. Leave them in the original package and wrap them with several layers of plastic wrap, THEN put them in to your mylar bags with oxy abs. Then you can put your mylars in a white bucket. The long and sharp edge types will sometimes poke holes in your mylar. Spend a few extra moment and pennies to secure your long term foods!😉
Thank you!
Yea but even if there’s a bug in bad…..doesn’t matter ,,,bye bye when you boil the water
Wow! So this is what I should have done when trying to vacuum seal my dried tomatoes and my chamomile, so they would not keep poking holes! Awesome advice!
Yes, that's what we do as well. Also, you can break spaghetti in half a little at a time and package it the same way.
I have had great success with my stored spaghetti noodles that are in mylar. I only use quality mylar with good thickness -- that's very important! To store, I break the noodles in half so that I can use smaller mylar bags. I add in an oxygen absorber, then seal. I have several pounds of the noodles per bag and have 20 bags -- these are long-term storage for us. Never had any holes or 'poke through' issues at all.
I kept a big refrigerator that broke and store all my dry goods in it. Free metal box.
I can't open the Level Up download, all the others (water purification, etc) work just fine. Did you change your format? Thank you
@@amyreese8931 Why are you asking me?
We had a rodent problem and they did chew through the plastic to the food. We had to start putting mylar bagged foods in metal trash cans. We bought the small ones to keep the weight down. Expensive ... but not as expensive as replacing the food!
Thanks for the latest post.
My experience has taught me that if the mice can smell something interesting in a plastic container they will try to get into it. I think it is their job to do so. Gaskets sound like a really good idea.
PS Please don't be embarrassed to share the mouse invasion, I was inspired to check my pantry and found that I needed to pay attention to what was going on. Thank you very much!!
I read an article about using dried bay leaves to keep bugs out of flour, cereal, etc. I placed some on my pantry shelves. I realized that winter that there was no signs of mice. 2 years later and still no mice.
There is lots of anecdotal information written about bay leaves repelling pests, but there is not yet any scientific evidence to support that claim. The Utah Extension Office says that bay leaves are not recommended as a way to repel pests. Rather, they recommend oxygen absorbers or vacuum sealing as their top option.
I do both! Vac seal and bay leaves@@RoseRedHomestead
@RoseRedHomestead is that because bay leaves haven't been tested? Or have they tested them and proved them not to work? Not being a smart aleck, just curious. 😊
I use bay leaves. Noticed some more fragrant than others. I buy by the pound. Also put on the floor.
Suggest replace every year.
❤tks, I have had a mose get into my car. I will put some bay leaves in my car!!!
Rose Red, I've learned quite a bit from your video's. But if I may make a suggestion. Though you've sealed up the containers for pasta, there may be bugs and their eggs in the packaging prior to you acquiring it. I myself store all packages in the freezer for 3 days prior to placing it in sealed bins...
Yes, good point. I've had infestation of insects in prepackaged rice a roni, knorr soup mixes and uncle Ben's rice mixes. It happens. That is when I started using mason jars for storage some 40 years ago. My coldroom is very humid. I keep thejars in their cardboard flats and slip a clear garbage bag around the whole thing so the lids don't rust.
@@ArtFlowersBeeze8815Pantry moths can get into mason jars. The only jars they can’t get into are the clamp top type jars.
Pam did mention that she has had this pasta for years. Had there been any eggs in there they would have hatched by now. I vacuum seal my pasta and flour for that reason. If there are any bugs or eggs in there they would not survive without oxygen.😊
@@DutchAlaskagirl Yes, that us true for the ones that may have come in the package, but bugs can get in after they come home.
You need to be careful introducing moisture in the freezer.
We are serious pasta eaters so we have tons of it. We store in sealed mylar bags in 5 gal storage buckets, 1/2gal Mason jars sealed, vacuum sealed food saver bags and some in those #10 cans from the lds storage center. Pasta pasta everywhere. Lol
From what I have read mice won't chew through unless they can smell it. I think that is why peppermint oil is good. It messes up their "smeller".
So spritz the bin with rubbing alcohol?
@@ArtFlowersBeeze8815 That evaporates pretty fast. The oil has worked for me and lasts longer. I am gong to try to grow peppermint around my foundation and see if it repels them.
Once, I had mice eat the peppermint leaves & the wall I had sprayed.
@@pricklypear7934 Hungry mice! Glad I haven't had that problem. I have found that there isn't one cure to repel animals.
Peppermint oil has never worked to repel our mice.
For pasta I use 5 gallon buckets with gamma lids. I separate the Costco pasta packs into shapes, one bucket per shape. I am not a big pasta eater, but it stores well and pasta is a comfort food and a meal stretcher. 😊
Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!
Perfect timing - We just bought 36, 1lb bags of pasta for $.99/ ea; the last store in the area to have 16 ounce bags at this price in the area and pasta at this unit price. Thier stock of 16 oz bags was dwindling and being replaced 14 oz bags for the same price. We bought a case each of the remaining 3 types left.
Wow! Lucky you! That is awesome.
@@RoseRedHomestead By June '22, we were on simply an inflation fighting larder filling approach; the 4th for the year. Im thinking we will gather some free, 5 gal and/ or 2.5 gal buckets from a bakery or two then remove from the cardboard boxes to buckets, bags and all.
Pam, I use up the little bits and pieces of pasta in vegetable/beef soup. It’s an easy way to use them up and not waste anything.
This is a great idea! thank you for sharing it.
That's what we always did. Mom always put the broken bits into a mason jar and it would later go into her chicken noodle soup.
I remember we whined once that the neighbor kids' mom bought alphabet noodles for their soup, but my goodness, what I wouldn't give right now to have a bowl of her very special soup!
Don't get me wrong I am a very good cook, and I cook often, but Mom's was special... ;)
I personally prefer glass jars for food storage. I know not everyone can do their food storage into glass jars, but because I did a recycling project at my job a long time ago. The things I learned were astonishing. All plastics are air permeable long term. All plastics off gas the life of the plastics. Now I try to buy as much as I can in glass and that is hard to do. However I will repackage things I am able to into glass jars. :) My biggest frustration is storing water. I am now looking into a stainless steel water barrel to store my water.
That is great if you are able to do that. Glass would be my preference as well.
@@RoseRedHomestead I just went through a 2 month process of getting rid of my pantry moths! Some came in on something (still don't know what) but I was out there every day killing them and used those sticky traps etc and finally managed to get everything into jars and was finally able to get rid of them. They cannot get into the jars. I opened all the packages to inspect them then put the contents into the jars with the directions for use. No more bugs, and mice can't get them either!
Don't forget your water heater usually has 50+ gallons (depending on size) in a suitable container already taking up space.
I agree with you. I try to store as much in glass as I can.
do you freeze your pasta? I had pantry moths and was told to freeze my pasta and rice for 3 days, then let it dry at room temperature and then store it ( I use glass containers after getting those moths). They we’re difficult to get rid of, but I did with bay leaves, sticky traps, and peppermint drops, etc
Last year I bought a bunch of pasta I opened packages and put the pasta in glass jars gallon and half gallon jars then then vacuum seal
To answer the rodent question.. YES they can chew thru the plastic IF they can smell something they like. (Ours was a large, heavy duty Rubbermaid full of bags of flour so they really wanted it)
Best to upgrade mylar to thicker brand or use mothballs/similar around the totes to deter the rodents nose.
We have used metal lockable tool boxes to defeat rodents in our shed periodically. Food in jars, in tool box.
When I empty a quart jar or pint size, I thoroughly wash and dry it. I then use that jar to vacuum seal my pasta in it. I even break my spaghetti noodles to fit the quart jars.
That will keep rodents out, but not pantry moths.
Sounds good.
If you vacuum seal the jar, no bugs can hatch because there is no oxygen.
Bins that do not have a gasket can be sealed very well with a 1/4" door gasket along the top edge of the container. I also covered the opening and door gasket with press and seal cling wrap then the lid. this worked very well.
I bought one of the tough brand totes from Walmart that was very thick and had bags of Mylar beans in it. I used clear thin totes for ramen. The same weekend I put it away something chewed a hole in both. I learned from Southern Prepper to get old filing cabinets to put your items in that are susceptible to rodents.
Interesting idea. I have had mice get into my filing cabinets in the garage--they made a nest in one of the drawers, so I guess it would depend on the filing cabinet.
I also had a rodent nest in a filing cabinet.
Those airtight plastic bins are very convenient and effective, but I've been trying to eliminate as much plastic from our lives as possible, so I recently repackaged all of my pasta preps into large glass jars with airtight lids. Happily, this prevents any rodent threats and keeps the pasta in an airtight environment for long-term storage, yet is convenient for easy access. It's also very attractive on the pantry shelf. 😊🥰
We had mice chew through a large plastic bin, so we store them in metal garbage cans now
We keep our dogfood in metal trash cans to keep the mice out. Perhaps I should use them for food storage too.
Thanks, Pam! I can always depend on you for great information!
I'll store mostly smaller pasta that cooks quicker , you can use thin or angel hair spaghetti as a good pasta in most dishes...
I want to encourage others to take the 2 months of meals in the pantry challenge. I have been building my working pantry, rotational pantry and long term food storage for a year. But I have been doing so based solely on sales and I thought I had about a year's supply in my stores. I felt pretty good. But I decided to take the two month challenge as a way to better organize what I had. I made up a two month meal plan and went pantry shopping. Boy was I surprised. While I did have probably almost two years worth of most foods, my meals were incomplete. I found holes! For example, I had plenty of canned green beans (they go on sale often) but not even two months worth of canned carrots! Well, I am canning carrots and starting my meal plan for January. I love this plan! Thanks Rosered!
Thank you for your comments. I also am thinking I have 6-9 months worth of pantry storage. You opened my eyes. I am L A Z Y about my planning meals. Married 56 years I guess that’s why, get bored planning meals. The yu😊
@@patriciacooke886I'm terrible about planning meals too! Since I'm only canning for three now, I've started canning more soup and stew bases. Raw packing makes it super simple which, being disabled from a back injury, is imperative now. It's also nice to have meals ready to heat and eat on the shelf for days when even frying an egg is too much to even think about. 🙂
@@ForbiddenChocolate Awwwww... HUGS to you!
Dehydrate as well. You can store a tremendous amount of food dehydrated. 1kg corn dehydrated to 95grams. Same for carrots. With Christmas in UK and Thanksgiving and Christmas in US coming up there's loads of deals on root veg. But them and dehydrate them. Pumpkin, butternut squash for soups added to beans & peas. Dehydrate your onions. Etc because you really don't think about these things because it's easy to pop to the shops and get. Your dehydrated stuff will be a life saver while growing your actual food.
Galvanized garbage cans with tight fitting lids work well for pasta storage.
Just made biscuits following the RRH class method last night...my husband raved over them! ☺
That just thrills me! Thank you!
We live in the country! I have had a problem with mice in the past!
Our home is old and there are areas where mice can get in
I discovered that they can be detoured by fabric softener sheets. I put them in corners and around my food storage area. I haven’t seen any signs of them since. Cheyenne pepper is helpful also. We have irrigated pasture, so My main problem is beetle and cockroaches. So I have a lot of sticky traps in areas where our dogs can’t get to. Behind furniture under fridge…… thank you for all the helpful tips you provide 🙏🏼
FYI - the solution I use to prevent rodents chewing into my food storage - I bought two USED large metal cabinets ( $30 each) and I keep my food in there in garage. They are tall with five shelves and two doors that latch. No holes for mice entrance. Works like a charm. Just don’t forget to shut the doors!
Having stored food in those bins in a hot humid environment, but in the dark, and using O2 absorbers, the bugs still got in. I do pack in mylar but I tend to leave the pasta in the bag with a couple of small clips into the bag at the top so the OAs can do their thing. Gives some normalcy on opening. But in a heavier plastic bin. You are 100% correct you need to look at your own environment.
Hot and humid environment is your issue. Not the mylar or o2 absorbers.
@@michaelfranks341it was the boxes with the gasket without mylar that was not sufficient there. I now store food in mylar with OA in those boxes and I do not have the issues of "bugs".
@@michaelfranks341exactly! Heat alone is an enemy. Humidity magnifies the problem. I would never store anything in the heat, humidity or no humidity.
Glass or metal are the only truly secure ways. Some have had problems even with the thick plastic food buckets.
You're such a cool lady and a wonderful teacher! Thank you 😃👍
Thank you! 😃
Like the bins with gasket seal. Had not seen them before.
Costco also carries these.
They are Sterlite brand but not all have the gasket.
We place bay leaves on top of our food items. Tape all around the 5 gallon buckets and they are stored in a closet. Yes, we must pay attention to the heat when we place food in plastic. Best to buy wheat berries instead of storing too much flour. Spray with mint oil, or any other oil that bug dislike. A cool dark place sounds great.
I live near a creek it runs right in front of my house and property so we always have rodents running around like you do. Years ago I started buying the same rubber gasket containers. I have my dogs food in a big one extra plastic silverware and paper plates and cups in another. So far I have not had a rodent get in they are great containers. I never realized how long pasta actually lasts. Thank you for the new tips. Thinking of buying more bins soon just to have extras.
Pasta, white rice, plain flour,dried beans & peas last easily 10-15 years properly mylar bagged with oxygen.
I use smaller and larger steal garbage cans for sugar, pasta, rice and beans storage. Rodents will NOT get in them as long as you secure the lid. I just put the packages in and kind of organize in 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 sections keeping like items per section.
I learned years ago not to store whole wheat pasta in the boxes they come in; you’ll have an infestation of flying critters in no time, so I started storing in my freezer. Since space was at a premium I started vacuum sealing linguini in bags and rotini in half gallon jars (the noodles are sharp and will pierce a bag). For extended storage I’ve added white pasta to the mix, I just hope my taste buds don’t revolt. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, it is greatly appreciated. ❣️
I think the flying critters may be Pantry Moths and they are VERY difficult to get rid of, but it is possible but can take up to a year to rid them completely
@@user-uy9jw2zj8r Wow, thank goodness I caught them early and evicted them quickly by tossing the pasta and scrubbing the shelves. It’s not an experience I’d ever want to relive. Thanks so much for the info.
Pam: Metal filing cabinets may be the answer to your rodent problems. They can often be purchased at very reasonable prices from auctions of closed or remodeled business offices. Even purchased new they are not very expensive and you can stack multiple units on top of each other depending how high your ceilings in the garage are. This will make it very easy to leave many products in their original packaging and can be arranged in a manner to stack multiple short layers in an individual drawers. Be sure to check the back of the filing cabinets to ensure there are no openings that a tiny mouse can enter into and if you choose to stack the cabinets it might be a good idea to use some of those devices that attach to the back of dressers that prevent small children from tipping them over on them or Jim can use some kind of strapping to secure them to the garage walls. Hope this is helpful.
Aren’t the bottoms not sealed?
I’m thinking a mouse could squeeze in.
@@cynthiafisher9907Correct. I used to work for a pest control company. A mouse can get through a 1/4 inch hole.
@@sherimetschan961 I believe it!
Thank you. I've been stressing about storing water. I will get busy tomorrow. Thank you.
She is so sweet. Yall are blessed!!
Always so much helpful information! And I live in Louisiana (southern most) and boy is it ever humid! I cannot keep anything outside; even canned goods have been questionable. But I find places to stick em inside! Lol. I bring a lot to my office. I have a whole pantry here. (Ssshh! Don’t tell anyone! 🤭)
Hi Rose, Thank you for this video. I am having my own small troubles with vermin and this video was right on time. I am in the middle of repackaging all our dry pastas, rice and beans. Some of it I am just inventorying and and rotating. But the pasta is being sealed in mylar with both OA and desicant. We live in Virginia and it is very humid here for much of our year. Additionally, this long term storage is kept in the dark in our basement. I am grateful for the handouts and though I have not been to your store before, I will now. Thank you again. Barb.
Had a sturdy heavy duty lided garbage can in our garage that mice chewed the bottom corner...your plastic tubs will be child's play for a hungry rodent... They even chewed threw two heavy duty commercial grade rubber thresh hold we put on to stop drafts and critters. We purchased one of those cans with the trapdoor on top laced with peanut butter, ladder attached for them to climb up...when they take the bait ...they fall through the trap into the water below. 100% successful results, ended our rodent problem.
Any hardened meat grease works well too! Save your peanut butter!😂
Excellent advice, thank you!😊
You are so kind for giving all this information and free downloads
Always great information!!
Thank you for your kindness in making the downloads for us. 😊
I was reorganizing my food storage this weekend and was wondering how to best save pasta. Thank you!
So helpful and I love the organization of it at same time. Thanks
You can get those gasketed bins at Big Lots. When they have their 20% off everything sales, I stock up on them.
Thanks for the information. Jim
Great subject and information
I’m persnickety and put pasta in a couple paper lunch sacks and then in thick 7.5 mil Mylar vacuum bags with oxygen absorbers. 😅 live in SW Florida so very humid. Also use MRE style Mylar pouches for ramen noodles w oxygen absorbers. These bags can handle boiling water to cook right in the bag. 🤗
I welcome all your thoughtful videos. Many Many Thanks 🙏🏻
Love this!!! Thank you so much ❤❤
Pam
Thank you for the help. I would like for you to just send them to me and it is the screen shot you shared on the Packaging Pasta for Long Term storage and the one on biscuits. I have tried a number of things to get them to a print page but I have had no luck. I hope you can use a different tool to send them rather than the docx in the future.
Thanks again,
Bobby
Pam, I always learn from you! Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing.
Great video, I was wondering the best way to seal pasta, thank you!
Wonderful Thank you I love pasta ❤
Thank you Rose!
Thanks for your videos, Pam!
I found your channel when I was looking into getting into canning and found your videos comparing some electric canners. Those videos really helped me decide which machine I wanted to get.
And I really appreciated the detail you went into with the numbers and guidelines behind safe canning of things like your meat sauce when testing them.
Thanks Pam and Jim. I find I have to cook pasta a bit longer once it reaches level 3.
Thank you Mrs Rose.😊
I had some rice in the original bag in a plastic container on the shelf. After about a year, I opened it up and it smelled old.
Thank you for all of your help. Very informative. 👏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much
I vacuumed sealed in my mason jars my pasta
That works. Jim
Great ideas. I’m going to order some of those plastic bins with the blue gasket. Thank you 💕💕
I've been using the bins like the one you have with the gasket from Walmart. They are great!
Doing that same task today-same bins (bought last year) and mountains of pasta.
Loving all u post even more the new direction you ve taken, keep them coming Gadget lady :)))
I so appreciate all the ideas you give. A rotating pantry is so important. Well done. ❤love your channel.
I had to giggle when you mentioned Huston. At the time I was there, I experienced mushy potato chips. Thank you for all you both do.
Just the video I needed. I have alot of lasagna noodles I need to pick up but didn't know how. Now I do! Thank you!!!!
Nice bins! I use Lock 'n' Lock gasketed containers for most of my pasta storage :-)
I got some 1 gallon jars at a yardsale to store spaghetti and lasagne noodles. Critters can't get in them and the gallons are to large to use for canning anyway.
Great solution!
I use the black bins with yellow tops from Costco for my pasta storage. They have a set of 2 medium size ones that works well for me and seals tightly. I label the outside Pasta and use the blue painters tape on all storage items with the good by date as a reference and when I bought them.
You made my day when you spilled the pasta! I just finished putting dried beans into Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers for the first time and a bag slipped and spilled dried beans all over the kitchen floor! I felt so defeated and had to throw away what fell. I got out a big pot to set my bag in while working on it which worked well but it was still nice to see that it happens to everyone...even an expert like you!
You could have saved those beans, because you have to wash them when you use them anyway. If you are worried about germs, just cook them in a pressure cooker.
Why did you throw away the beans that fell out of the bag? Even if they fell on the the floor you could have rinsed them and then made something where you would have boiled them. I swear, Americans are way to sterile.
Perfect timing with this video. I've been thinking about working with pasta for storage. Thank You!!
So glad it was timely for you!
I love you and Jim y'all are wonderful
Thank you! JIm
I take all my pasta out of the original wrapping and put it in glass jars. This seems to be working so those critters will move on. Glad your doing these videos!
Love this
Happy Thanks Giving Pam and Jim.🙏🏼💐
Thank you too, Jim
I have several second hand metal filing cabinets that I use to store food in . The rodents have no chance of getting to my food , also some metal storage cupboards usually used for tools in garage but I store my food in them as well as they are all metal and the rodents cannot get in .
When i keep opened product in its bag like that i always secure it with a good rubber band which really helps
I watch your videos all the time and I want to thank you for all the information you share. Have you ever freeze dried gnocchi? If so, please direct me to the video. If not, would you be willing to test cooking and freeze drying them. I would like to add them to other freeze dried meals. For example, beef with mushrooms as gravy over gnocchi. Look forward to your next video.
I like to use any kind of glass jar or mason jars to store my pasta, popcorn, dry beans etc. When growing up in the country, we had those big wood rats and so I always save jars instead of plastic.
OMG - I had no idea all the downloads were there! The amino acids is what I’ve been looking for!
If you have bins with no gasket you can cover opening with Saran wrap then put lid on works very well❤
Thank you so much for this information! I just purchased a bunch of pasta and was worried I was gonna have to stick it all in mylar bags. So happy to hear that I don’t have to.
These bins have worked for us for years without any problem, so I hope they will do the same for you.
I have been portioning out my bulk items in quantities I’ll use in 3 mos. Then those smaller packs I store in a storage bin. I enjoy your videos and the format with a white board. Totally my love language.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Our pleasure! Jim
Thanks so much.
Thanks for sharing
Most of my pasta ares stored in 5 gal empty bakery buckets. They have the blue gasket sea is as well. I put my egg noodles in half gal size jars
Thank you so much for all of these educational videos. I know you put a lot of work into them. Only one suggestion, I wish you would set up links to the specific products in each video…after searching both Amazon stores for the airtight bins, I did not find them. There are many products in the stores.
After your last video on this I cleaned up some bins I had and bought one so I could put my soft packaging goods in to deter mice. Also bought some sticky traps for the mice that will head our way when the fields get cut off. So far those work best for us.
