Different people have different systems depending on if their panniers have pockets or are just one big bag. A stuff sack isn't an approach I use myself. Ziplocks are good for individual ingrediants. Those can be stored in pannier pockets, or inside the cooking gear itself, or inside a couple rectangular Tupperware containers. Tupperware gives a solid base to pack other things on top of, a container to use to mix things in, and something to temporarily store meats, salads or other special care items that need to be in spillproof containers and might need ice.

Any or all of those will work. Your cooking and organizational preferences should decide what works for you.
Not just dry food but also bulkier produce, snacks, etc. But OK 12 liters does sound big and now I am thinking maybe 2 smaller bags would be better.

Thanks for the ideas about organization. I have ortliebs so not a lot of pockets. My fuel canister is in my solo pot... So maybe one main food bag with a ziplock with spices and oils inside the bag and a separate snack bag...
