The scoop

Melly placed it over a Mason jar containing baking soda, for example, to avoid having to keep its usual cardboard box. But you can use this hack to store anything!
How it's helping
This hack provides an inexpensive and convenient use of something that most people will have in their home. Parmesan cheese is one of the average household's most widely purchased condiments, used to flavor many dishes.
It can also flavor your storage game, provided you have jars that fit the lid. But Mason jars are inexpensive and come in various sizes to fit your storage needs.
Of course, you should only use what you need, so if you do not want all of those jars, it may be worth just taking a little time out of your day to research any organization in your area that can take the used parmesan containers off your hands or find the easiest way to recycle them yourself.
