OH PUH-LEAZE!!! This is a great idea, however, not new. My grandmother had the same drawers in her kitchen on a Montana ranch - She had 6 kids, a husband and lots of hired help, and with all of the activity in her kitchen she refilled those drawers each week. She also never had bugs due to the turnover. Keeping things clean was never a problem because the flour and sugar drawers were located at the counter that the work was being done at OR you could take the mixing bowls to the drawers to fill. Germs from scoops ? Never a problem and she left a sifter in the flower box. I made many cakes and cookies in that kitchen during my youth and it was great! Ree's set up is similar and you would never find a cannister that would sit on top of the counter that would hold enough to make it worth the effort to refill. Most of us will never see a fraction of the amount of work that goes on in her kitchen and Ree has done a great job marrying functionality with design.

I would puree my Tomato Ginger Cream Soup - Perfect for winter weather!
