Flour keeps spilling out when you open it? A simple trick helps keep the work surface clean and no flour is wasted.
When you open a package of flour, do you always see a rush of ground grain? Or does one part always end up on the work surface? If not, problems will arise when decanting or dosing: the opening is often simply too large.
You can remedy this with a little trick: simply turn the pack over. Then you can simply place the pack on the bottom like a coffee pack. The clip explains the trick:
However, the life hack only works for a certain brand. Flour packages from other manufacturers do not have such a fold on the bottom. If you open them according to the instructions above, you will only end up with a mess of flour, as our own experiment shows.
Before you try the trick yourself, it’s best to turn the sealed bag over and see how thick the bottom is. If it is thinner than the top closure, it is better to open the package at the top.
If you still have a flour pack that can be opened at the bottom, we would like to tell you one more disadvantage that was shown in our test: the flour pack no longer stands well after opening from the bottom. The base is designed in such a way that the bag stands securely even without support and with little filling (floor). You would then either have to transfer the flour or store it in such a way that the package cannot fall over.
But the large opening also has advantages: it allows the manufacturer to easily fill the flour into the bags. And if the flour needs to be portioned out spoon by spoon, this is also easier with a large opening.
