My new favorite way to store dry foods
But before I launch into Why As much as I love this set of storage containers (and trust me, I’ll get to all the details soon), let’s talk about what comes in the set. The exact set I bought Includes 9 containers of various sizes and a total of 18 pieces:
- Four 6.76-ounce/200-milliliter containers
- Two 33.8-ounce/1.0-liter containers
- Two 13.5-ounce/400-milliliter containers
- One 67.6-ounce/2.0-liter container, all with lids
You can see the set in its entirety on Amazon. But in the meantime, let’s get to the part where I think about why these containers are my new favorites!

Reason #1 – They are easy to use
One of my favorite features of these containers is their squared-off design. The sides of the container are straight all the way up, leaving a nice, wide opening at the top. Containers that taper at the top are a pet peeve of mine, as they make it much harder to get the contents out.
Reason #2 – They stack nicely
Lids for containers are also very smart. They have clips around the edges that lock into place on the container, creating a strong, airtight seal. The lids are also nice and flat, with a slight ridge around the edges. They are designed so you can stack the containers vertically and the straps around each lid keep them in place. Stacking these containers can save a lot of precious space in your pantry or cupboard!
Reason #3 – More size, more versatility
I also love the variety of sizes this particular set comes in. There are some deep containers that are suitable for storing dry bulk ingredients, such as flour, sugar, oats, etc. (You can also keep the measuring cup right in the container with the ingredients, so you don’t have to find the measuring cup every time.)
Small, shallow containers are handy for storing ingredients that come in small quantities, such as baking soda and baking powder.
Reason #4 – They are practical
Besides the clever design features, this container has a lot of practical features that appeal to me. They’re BPA-free and dishwasher-safe (as long as you wash them in the top rack of your dishwasher.) You can also microwave the containers if you’d like, just be sure to remove the lids first because they’re not microwave-safe. These containers and lids are also fridge- and freezer-safe, making them even more versatile.
i am enjoying This container Perfect since I bought them, and I know they are durable enough for me to use for years to come. And when I want to store something else in it, I can just pull out my label maker, print a new label, and voila! 🙂
