What is the best method for storing a 'pre-mixed baking mix' in a camper for long periods?

+3

I have a camping trailer that we keep stocked with food and beverages. When we head out on an impulse trip, it stocked and ready to go.

Most of the supplies are canned or dried, so we don't need to worry about spoilage. Bread does not do well in the camper for long periods. I have purchased Bisquick to keep in the camper for making flat bread.

My question is how to store it in the camper. It comes in a multiple use box/bag and keeping a partially used open package in the camper, does not seem like a good idea.

I am thinking maybe loading sandwich bags with the dry product in 1 or 2 cup single serving size bags, and then put those bags in resealable glass container.

Seems like one of those Tupperware-like sealable plastic containers is an obvious possibility. Why do you think that won't work?

I think (but do not know) that those 'Tupperware-like sealable plastic containers' are not going to be as effective at keeping moisture (and bugs?) out. I would think that you would be able to get a better seal with a glass container, and you would be less likely to have air movement with pressure/temperature changes over time.

I was thinking along the same lines as Olin, but given your last comment, I think you want something with a vacuum-seal ability. There are both hard and soft sided (i.e. box or bag) varieties that have valves that hook up to some sort of pump, or some of the bags can be squeezed sealed. Some of the pumps are even hand-operated, no electricity required, ideal for camping.

It would probably be worth investing in one or more moisture absorbers to go in whatever container you choose. Self-indicating silica-based packs are cheap and can be recharged by driving off the water in a warm oven.
