Sugar Dispenser

even though we don't do bags of flour and sugar, this might still be good...

I bought this sugar dispenser from King Arthur Flour a couple of years ago, and it's been a sturdy, reliable tool. It's sized to accommodate a five-pound bag of sugar. You slide the bag inside, open it up, trim the bag top to the level of the top of the container, and put on the lid. There's a little flap on the inside of the lid that fits right inside the bag of sugar, holding it open and keeping the sugar from sifting down the sides. The lid has two openings, one is a small pour spout, and the other is large enough for scooping out sugar with a measuring cup. The spout is slightly flexible, so if a lump clogs it I can squeeze the sides of the spout to crush the lump. The whole thing is ant and waterproof when sealed shut.

This is not a sexy matte-black high tech kind of tool, just a solid, well thought-out container that makes working with, and storing, sugar or flour much simpler, easier and cleaner. Using it makes me very happy.

Also, King Arthur Flour's online store and print catalog are packed with tons of nifty cooking tools. The King Arthur Flour's Cookie Companion and Baker's Companion books are fabulous cookbooks.
