SistemaFlour and Sugar Storage Containers for Pantry with Lids and Measuring Cup, Dishwasher Safe, 10.2-Cup, White

Just bought my 3rd Sistema 13.7 cup (3.25 liter) to store flour. My way of easily getting 5 lbs of flour into the container is by keeping the flour in the bag. If you buy in bulk, it’s less helpful. As others said, in that case you’ll need to tamp the flour down to fit more.— Take the *unopened* bag of flour and lay it on its side.— Press the side to form a ridge where the indented handle is.— Slide the bag into the container.— Open the bag.Works perfectly with King Arthur bags. Bob’s Red Mill is a bit of a struggle but it works.It’s easier to scoop out flour than it is to pour, so keeping it in the bag doesn’t affect the functionality for me. I also don’t need to label the container. I empty the opened bag that’s in the container before adding another.Pouring from the bag into the container introduces air and increases the size of the pile of flour. That’s why bakers weigh flour instead of measuring by volume in a measuring cup. Volume is unreliable.I love that you can grab these easily thanks to the molded grip. They are plenty airtight for me, but I do live in a dry climate. The scoop is nice but doesn’t fit until you’ve used some of the flour.I’m so happy with these that I’ve ordered the 10 cup size for sugar.

Love Sistema ! Easy to open and close. See everything inside. Use for food or ???? I use these all over the house. Makes a good container for laundry pods ! Highly recommended!

The Sistema are wonderful. I like to bake and keep different types of flour. I store them all in my freezer. Sistema containers are freezer safe. This order of Sistema containers come in different sizes, which is perfect for me because I need different sizes. Sistema containers are made in NewZealand. They are easy to open and close. They come with a handy scoop in almost every container. My only con is that even though you can see through the containers, I would like an easy way to identify what is in the container. My solution is to write the contents on the lid with a grease pencil.

I love these containers very much. I've purchased 4 of the 3.25L containers. I have to warn though that they do NOT hold a 5lb bag of flour like many have said they do. I purchase the 4lb bags of gold medal flour that have a zip lock seal. I attempted to fill the 3.25L container with the 4lb bag of flour today, and it simply would not fit. So if it won't hold 4lbs of flour, there is no way it's going to hold 5lbs.However the "Klip It 1450 142-Ounce Cereal Container" WILL hold a 5lb bag of flour with some room to spare. It costs a little more, but honestly every penny spent on Sistema containers is worth it. I'm not too bent out of shape that the 3.25L containers don't hold the 5 pounds of flour like I'd hoped because they are already full of other stuff like brown sugar, powdered sugar, and rice.They are wonderful containers for just about anything. I think I will use the last one I purchased to store beans in.I have a variety of other Sistema containers in my home. I plan to replace all my old containers with them. Moving forward I will use nothing else. They are air tight, easy to clean, stack brilliantly in the cupboard (and in the fridge) are easy to grip, and simply wonderful!

Very nice sturdy container and includes a measuring cup. Snaps close easily.I purchased this to hold a 5 lb sack of whole wheat flour. All the flour did not fit into this container.

I had been gifted 2 Sistema containers and loved them, so I ordered 2 sets of these. LOVE these too. They seal well, are easy to open/close, and well designed to allow a smaller hand to grip. If you have arthritis, these will be easier to open than some other storage containers. I have the standard red-lid Rubbermaid food containers, which are difficult for my mother to open with her arthritis. The Sistema containers, however, are not difficult for her.I love that the larger containers come with a measuring cup to keep in the container and the smaller containers have pouring openings. These containers also makes it easier to fill in the bulk sections of the store or co-ops. These are dishwasher safe in the top rack, but you may need to hand wash the larger containers if your top rack is too short. Finally, I really like that the containers have an off-white lid and not a crazy color unlike so many of the other containers available.It's true that the flour container will not hold a complete American 5lb bag, but it holds about 4 lbs. I'm fine with that and just store the last pound in its package until I can add it to the container. Its definitely not something to get all wrapped-around-the-axel-about as other reviewers have. I believe these are made in New Zealand, so they probably have different standards there.A few years ago, King Arthur Flour used to carry these too, which is where I first found them.

The largest size is perfectly for the 15-quart packages of dry milk I buy. The next size down holds a five-pound bag of flour, still in the bag so you can see what kind of flour it is. Haven't yet found a use for the other sizes.

I use these to store flour and sugar. Works very well.
