The Best Dry Food Dispensers for Your Kitchen

Dry food dispensers are a nice way to declutter your kitchen and give it an updated and organized look. They also encourage and allow kids to be more independent and get their own food. Some offer portion control to promote a healthier lifestyle, and they can even keep your food fresh for longer—up to 45 days. Here are some dry food dispensers we recommend for your kitchen or pantry.

Purchasing Dry Food Dispensers

Here’s what you’ll want to consider:

• Size: If it’s just you, you probably don’t need a huge dry container for food storage. But if you have a large family, get a larger size to not have to constantly refill it.
• Easy Refilling: Even if you don’t have to do it often, you don’t want to be struggling and spilling your food everywhere, so choose a dispenser that is easy to refill.
• Design: You can find wall-mounted, countertop, or container dispensers. Choose an organizational style that fits your preferences, kitchen space, and lifestyle.

Put your favorites like granola, cereal, nuts, oatmeal, or jelly beans inside to be easily dispensed.

They are easy to clean and are dishwasher safe. Each container can hold up to 4 liters, and a silicone seal added to the pour spout makes sure nothing extra—even water—can get inside, keeping your food extra fresh. Directly pour food out of the lid for extra ease.
