Couscous gets everywhere, no matter how hard you try to keep it contained.

I consider myself well-coordinated, but I’ve had no such luck with couscous. Especially when transferring from the pot to another container. It decides to stick together, then randomly makes an avalanche as I’m scooping, creating a mess of grains from the countertop to the floor.

If I measure, I measure within the bag. Pour that into a jar and add herbs, oil, and hot water into the jar. Then serve from the jar.

You… Serve… Couscous from a jar?

And on another note, you cook/buy/store cooked couscous in a bag?

I buy uncooked couscous in a bag. I add raw couscous to a jar, and cook it in the jar. And then serve it from the jar.

I mix some butter in it when it’s done, mainly for taste but it also helps with the issue you described. And have you tried different grain sizes? I use different types depending on what I’m making alongside it and the bigger/coarser kind is easier to handle.
