5 Pounds of Rice. What size counter top storage container?

13 years ago

What size container fits the contents of a 5 lb bag of dry, uncooked rice without being much too large for it? They size them by how many liquid quarts they hold.

I'd like it to be able to hold the rice plus have a little extra room to fit the rice measuring cup.

Whatever floats your boat. Anyway here it is....see link.
