Unique kitchen canister sets have a way of setting the tone for your kitchen. They can be funny, pretty, plain, serviceable or even elegant. But first and foremost, they're at the heart of good kitchen organization.

What are the benefits of using kitchen canisters?

Canister sets organize cooking ingredients and keep your essential ingredients such as sugar, salt and flour close at hand on your kitchen counter. They can keep all sorts of things from salt to cookies or even doggie treats safe from unauthorized entry. Kids, cats, and raiding mice can be thwarted by a good canister. Canisters can also become a valuable way to personalize your kitchen. A neat set of ribbed canisters in matching colors can create a business like look for your kitchen.

What are some examples of unique kitchen canisters?

Tin canisters with windows

Charm visitors to your kitchen area by putting your beans, peas, rice, and pasta in metal canisters with windows. The colored beans, pasta shapes, and even the rice make an attractive display and are ready at hand when you need to cook them. When prepping meals, no guesses about the materials on hand are needed when using canisters that display ingredients.

Mason jars

Plain Mason/Kerr Canning jars are great for quick canisters. Labels can be taped or glued on for those ingredients that strongly resemble each other. If you can find some antique jars at the local thrift shop or second-hand store, so much the better. If not, you can purchase canning jars of all sizes in the canning section of your local department store or home shop.

Shabby chic canisters

Step-up those plain mason jars into shabby chic by painting outside of the jars, then lightly sanding the jars to make the letters pop out. Or you can purchase ready-made canisters that have the content labels already on the jars in raised letters. Add fabric covers for a little extra panache or personalization.

Shaped canisters

Canisters that come in shapes can lend humor and take part in a theme for your kitchen. Cows and chickens are common shapes, but owls, small buildings, and even fantastic creatures can be canister shapes. If you can’t find the shape you want at local stores, visit a pottery shop and ask if the proprietor makes original creations. Not all have this service, but some do.
