Use Your Freezer for More than Storing Frozen Food
I store my flour, breadcrumbs, powdered milk, oats, polenta, bread flour or any other pantry item that might attract weevils or just to extend its shelf life in the freezer. I also keep my grated cheese in the freezer. When lemons are cheap I buy in bulk, juice and freeze in ice cube trays, then pop them out when hard and store in a plastic container in the freezer. Do the same with herbs, so you always have them on hand.

Editor's note: All dry goods that come into our home go into the freezer for at least seven days. If there's room in the freezer and the food isn't needed in the pantry then I just leave it there until I either need the freezer space or to transfer the food to the pantry. It's a simple thing to do and helps to keep the kitchen weevil and moth free. Cath
