Tea / Sugar Storage Containers

[maxi]

Another vote for Douwe Egberts jars, have used them aboard for years with no problems whatsoever.

I've just got some tupperware type tubs, the sugar always clumps. I was going to sort it out but since last season I've stopped putting sugar in my tea so I no longer care. It'll be more entertaining watching my guests carve a few pathetic granules off the single tub-shaped lump.

With Lock and Locks the sugar stays free, but I do buy cubes when possible to minimise the consequences of spillage. For certain culinary purposes it does leave Mrs H rubbing them together like a primitive fire maker.

Three page thread and nobody mentioned my favorite yet! It's the OXO Pop Container. You have a big round button at the top that sits flush with the lid when closed. If you push down on it, it pops out just like the locker push buttons on my boat and turns into a big round handle to lift the lid off. In reverse, you push it in and it vanishes, compressing a silicone seal to shut the container airtight. All simply doable with just one hand.

As they're a bit pricey, I only have two for the most often used stuff in the galley (tea), the less often used things are in various Lock&Lock boxes and even some (not recommendable) plastic screw lid jars from Asda.
