Ideas for storing larger amounts of salt?
Salt pigs look great for small amounts of salt...but how does one best store a larger amount? Like, my 3-lb box of Diamond Kosher salt? I've read that storing it in the cardboard box is not a good idea.

I use a wide mouth 8 ounce Mason jar for everyday, as it fits nicely on one of the double-decker bamboo lazy Susans in the cupboard nearest the counters and island and stove, where I use salt most frequently. I take it down when cooking and baking, to reduce the clutter on those counters.
I've noticed, by the way, that the straight-sided 8-ounce wide-mouth Mason jars are hard to find these days . . . . even at Tractor Supply Company and Jax Ranch and Home, which typically have massive supplies of every type of jar one could possibly need. ;o)
Thank you!
