Hello,
As I am new to all of this preparedness, I need help in how to store my rice. I stored rice last year but after reading how other people stored their rice, I think I may have stored mine incorrectly. Here is what I did: I froze my rice in the bags they came in in the freezer for four days. I then transferred the rice into white containers with lids that I bought at Lowes; the kind that food comes in. Now I'm reading that I should have put dry ice down in the buckets to get the moisutre out. Is this correct? And I've also read that I should have gotten all of the air out. How do I go about getting the air out of the buckets? I'm sorry to sound so stupid about all of this, but I would appreciate step by step instructions on how to store my rice properly. I don't want to poison my family by storing the food improperly. Thanks so much for your help, LLB
