Hi all! I recently bought a 25lb bag of rice, and not necessarily for super long storage but for about a year's worth of food, I was planning to store them in some containers my aunt saved for me from the school cafeteria she works in. They are 1 gallon plastic containers that were originally filled with ranch dressing (they are food grade plastic), and they have screw on lids. I will be storing them in my dirt-floor basement that is almost completely dry (using a dehumidifier to keep it as dry as possible). My question is, should I use some sort of barrier under the lid to help seal it, like wax paper or something?? I am so new to this food storage thing, and I just don't know. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
