I like to recycle things and I have found that the containers for Coffee Creamers are great for Elbow macaroni. I have used the same container for years now and it holds up well and also holds a lot of macaroni.
I keep one by the stove, too; we don't fry much, but when I do, I throw a couple of ice cubes into the used frypan to help the oil harden quickly. Then spatula it out into the creamer container for disposal.
I use mine to keep flour on hand near the stove for cooking. Maybe you need a little flour for a slurry to make a gravy and don't want to drag out the big cannister, it is right there in a coffee creamer container. I braise meat a lot, and use the flour to sprinkle on the meat once I have turned it. (I usually turn mine twice and need to reflour it before turning it again to brown. Works for me!!
