    What do you use to hold powder for dippers?

    Thought I get all your methods. Myself I've been pouring some powder into a short+wide glass I got from the dollar store. Easy to remove the old powder residue to not cross contaminate a new powder.

    What does everyone else use?

    I use a little clear glass vessel about like a small coffee cup without the handle. I use it because I couldn't find any other use for it.

    Small plastic containers you get with food at the supermarket deli.

    Used Pudding Cups. Plastic cups holding a little less than 1 cup. Jello Pudding Cups (?) cleaned work quite well for me...

    I use my powder trickler. When I am using the dippers I am usually not making many rounds and the trickler holds enough powder.

    I dunno what it was.
    it's plastic and mostly round in a bowl shape.
    the dog chewed one end of it off.
    and it kinda has a handle.

    I dunno why I use it but it seems to work.

    An old coffee mug, hard to tip over !
    I too have used this same mug for so long I don't think I could dip powder without it .

    An oversized ceramic coffee mug I didn't use anymore. Easy to empty and easy to clean.
