Will the 17 cup container hold a 5 pound bag of flour? And can you use the inside edge of the fliptop as a leveler for the flour?

Yes, it should. But I don't know about using the flip top to level the flour. Although I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use the lid for leveling.

I doubt it. I would go to the next size up which would be the 17 cup size. I also have those and use them for 5 pounds of sugar and flour. The 5 pounds of flour fills the 17 cup size almost to the very top, and there is a little more room left over on the one I use for 5 pounds of sugar. I use the 10.8 cup size for powdered sugar.

Yes it can. It holds two75 oz. the 110 is a tad too wide but would fit in height. It is very sturdy. I have all kinds of Ball jars on mine full of herbs, extra paper towels, sandwich bags, large and small. Extra bread, rolls and cereal boxes. Large Oatmeal containers. So for my purposes that is what I use it for. However, I am planning on purchasing another one just for my cleaning supplies and laundry things. I love this little thing. Wish I thought of it myself!

I have two of these. one for dog food and one for cat food. They will easily hold 20 lbs of rice or 25 lbs of flour. They are, in my opinion, the best storage containers for any of these four commodities. I especially like that the screw lids work so well. Best wishes, Curt Hinkle

You should be able to use ONLY 1 to 1-1/2 cups to equal that quantity. This container hold quite a bit more than that.

The largest one can hold either 5 lb of flour or 5 lb of sugar, but the middle-sized one cannot. The middle-sized one holds about 4 lb of sugar, so if you're baking and use some of a new package the remainder would fit. This issue is why I bought two sets. I use the two largest for the 5 lb flour and sugar. I use the other ones for brown sugar, powdered sugar, tea bags, choc chips etc. I didn't have any problem finding a use for the 6 cannisters.

Yes a whole 5 pound bag of flour fits in this container. I put a piece of scotch tape on the outside of the container, and using a sharpie, write what is inside. The tape is easily removed if you want to change what the content of the container is.

The bigger one (with a square top) I think that can hold 4 to 5 pounds of sugar, in sequence the 2nd can hold 2 1/2 pounds of flour, I would put brown sugar in the tall/rectangular one. There's 2 small square ones that you can put baking soda. The confection fits with the others containers.I think that it might suits your needs!Only be careful with the lids. I suggest to never lift the container holding the lid lid. Even closed it opened, almost broke with me and made a mess with flour. At least the acrylic is very resistant and didn't shattered!Good Luck!

The lid comes all the way off on the Klip It container. Amazon carries a similar container that might be a better match for you; Progressive brand, model DKS-100. The Progressive container has a hinged lid and a built-in leveler. Capacity is 3.8 quart/3.6 liter and it holds a 5-pound bag of flour.

Yes, there is a narrow seal within the lid that the storage part of the container fits snugly into when you put the lid on top. The pieces fit beautifully together. I haven't had any problems keeping my flour bug free and dry. I have several of the Klip It Bakery size containers that come with the measuring cup, and I love them. I am slowly changing all my storage containers to Sistema. I was keeping my flour in the freezer whichconsumed a lot of space as I keep about 6 types of flour on hand. Hope this is helpful.

I use it for flour. I buy the 25 pound bags at Costco and this container will only hold 23 pounds. Hope this helps.

No. It has a pretty narrow mouth. You would have to tip the jar to get flour near enough to get a measuring cup in.

Might hold a five gallon container, but certainly not .designed or built for that type of weight. I would guess that if used frequently, the turntable feature would be difficult to move and will probably break. Just my opinion as the ones I bought are to be used for dining room table to put condiments on

Having bought both the 53 oz and the 81 oz, you want the 81 oz. The 53 oz just barely holds the full bag and you might even have a bit of flour still in the bag. You cannot fit the scoop cup in the container with all that flour. The 81 oz holds the bag with a little room left over at the top to accompdate the scoop. Another option would probably be to put the actual paper bag of flour itself in the 81 oz. container. I didn't think of that until after I emptied the bag of flour into the container and threw it away. Next time.........

It would be too large for my counters, I don't have that much counter space. I went with large glass canisters, they're round and tall so don't seem too big on my counter. These would work well for flour and sugar if you have the space, nice wide opening to dip into.

It holds a whole bag of flour (5lb) with still about an inch of room to the top.

No, the largest one will not hold 5 lbs of flour. I use it to store rice/dried beans/noodles, etc.
