I have never had a problem with weavils either but I know what they are because we had them once when I was a teenager. I bake a lot and we are all about breakfast here so maybe that's why. Even though I stock up we still go through it pretty fast and I am sure to rotate everything to the front of the shelves when I bring it home.

My grandmother always froze her if she was going away sm
it didn't matter how little was left. She once froze some that couldn't have been more than 2 swallows. She also took napkins and sugar packets from resturants.

You could also use flour to thicken it up.
That is what I do....do not use bread crumbs...you just need something to thicken it that will keep it together.

Flour for Thickening
I make a roux, chestnut brown, with flour & use for thickening.....but then, I'm from the South.

Cornstarch OR Flour for thickening

Just curious which method you use. I prefer cornstarch mixed with water to form a smooth thin paste. I find it works faster than the flour method. How about you?

Just regular all-purpose flour - nm

Cereal
I usually eat a bowl of cereal while I'm working.

Ha ha! I just choked on my cereal!
There was a show on a couple of years ago that featured everyday people inventing things, one was a hook for just this situation. I can't remember whatever happened to that...I would buy one in a second!

do you freeze stuff like cereal and
flour for 24-48 hours to prevent weavils? Will load on toilet paper, that's for sure! Have heard some stories about that!
