If price wasn't an issue. Would you rather have Snapware, Oxo Pop containers or Lock & Lock containers for flours etc? And for what reason?

L&L; is great for my baking supplies. Easy to get into, tight seal, and easy to close. I also have snapware and they are comparable. I haven't had them long, so can't speak to the ware on them.

I use this 4 my crackers and the former tupperware container 4 my small dog bones, this really keeps crackers fresh, dont even want tupperware anymore

straight sides fit in the cupboard better than other brands, with less wasted space between containers.

Locknlock are the very best. In my 70s, and if it's out there I have had it, but these are the best. Crackers, potatoes chips stay fresh longer.

Personally I don't like Snapware. I think that Lock and Lock is made better and doesn't wear out as easily as Snapware. All of my flour, sugar, etc. are stored in Lock and Lock. I am not familiar with the Oxo Pop.

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

As Elizabeth asked, why pay the considerable extra expense for these if not using the vacuum feature? Regular freezer grade Zip-Lock or Glad bags at your local grocer (or on Amazon) cost less than these with the special vacuum port.

Heh.I've never paid the price for the more expensive ones. I'm guessing they're a bit more convenient - better protection from getting fingers into the sticky stuff, etc.I've bought the blue-lettered ones a couple of times and am VERY happy with them. I keep one in the pantry at ALL times, and we've not had an outbreak since I started.

That's an average price for buying an individual container. It's always a better deal to buy in bulk or use the $5 off coupons.

I would not. The lock could be easily popped open. Plus the box would rust.

I'm using them for dry storage, but can envision them in the fridge. The only thing is they don't lock tight like a tupperware or something like that but they do latch. I use them all over my closets for gathering lots of similar things together to organize them.

I too own both, but I have a slightly differing opinion. I feel the NutriBullet doesn't do near the job of pulverizing ingredients in comparison to the Vitamix. It does an incredible job, however, for a $100 blender. Now, if NB would only offer a 30 oz container so the user isn't tempted to overfill (leads to seal leakage, as mine did). A 180 lb male preparing Zone-balanced meals is hard-pressed to prepare a whole-food 4-block meal in a 20 oz container. I am now using my Vitamix to prepare my smoothies. More expensive, yes, but I already owned it AND cleanup is just as easy.

I personally prefer the rotational locks. I have had fingers pinched and had the snap-type locks slip after time. And I do not know what would break on the rotational locks, they are simple wedge-type clamps. I would say in conclusion that the tripod well built and sturdy.

I've had no problem with Zip Lock bags. I've found it useful to seal either brand while on a semi cushioned surface and rub your finger over the seal twice, once in one direction then from the other. The ONLY advantage or feature I see in the Food Saver brand I like is the square bottom of the gallon size. That to me is not worth double the price of Zip Lock.

I think there are better options out there for you. I would try short wide containers, maybe straight sided vases or perhaps baskets would work, perhaps even wrapped boxes. Another idea would be to invest in a dozen mason pint jars and spread them around with specific utensils in specific jars.

To correct a previous comment - what I meant to say was, if cost is a factor go with the egg. If cost is no factor, go with Ensure.

I avoid refrigerator/freezer in order to prevent dehydration; moisture content insures "good pop". Not sure about "oxy absorbers" - but air tight container sounds good. Actually - my popcorn doesn't last long enough to be in danger!

I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages. What I like about Progressive is the ability to open or close the vent, and add or restrict water according to a chart they give you telling the appropriate environment for each veggie or fruit. However, I love Tupperware probably just because I am familiar with it over the years and know its advantages and limitations. I like the pliable material used as opposed to the hard material used by Progressive. However, I like being able to see through the Progressive container. On balance, I choose Progressive now. Seems like Tupperware is more expensive too. I have not tried Fridgesmart but compared to regular Tupperware, both have advantages.

I think I'd stay with the disc holder. They do stack nicely, are easily accessible, less $$. I tend to store my blades right in the Cuisinart itself.

I bake a lot of "artisan "breads so i have 4-5 bags(20#&50#) because it's so much cheaper to buy in bulk that i must protect the flour. Using heavy garbage bags an really strong twist ties, I have no problems with bugs.
