Would this size jar work for storing 2kg of flour or sugar? Could you store spaghetti in here upright?

Yes, you could definitely store spaghetti in there. As for 2 kg of flour or sugar, yes, I think it should fit that in as well. It's possible there might be a little bit left over, but not much.

I wouldn't use it for water storage. It's great for flour and sugar and other dry goods but there are much better options for water storage available.

I use mine for sugar for which it holds 5 lbs pretty comfortably. As for flour, I am not certain I'm afraid.

I wouldn't use it for pasta , I don't think it's tall enough and the pasts would fall through the basket. Get a pasta pot.

Yes you can by going to the Hefty web site. However , I use a plastic flour storage container from Big Lots that only cost around $2.00 and has a lid to keep closed when I have not put too much in it.

It would depend on the size of the cup/scoop, of course, but I do keep a 5-lb. bag of flour in one of mine, and scoop from the jar.

Hello Cassidy, No unfortunately these jars do not have a wide enough opening to use a 1 cup measuring tool to scoop out the flour or sugar or whatever. I use these jars for everything, but as far as scooping things out, I use a large spoon to scoop out and put into the measuring cup. I own several sizes, from 4oz up to 67 and none have a wide enough opening. There are very nice glass jars from Anchor Hocking Heritage Hill, but they do not have the rubber sealing ring, so I'm not sure how well the flour or product you wish to store will keep.I hope this helps. Thank you, Donna

I believe it would be fine. I use the container that was designated for flour because I wanted more sugar at my finger tips. I use smaller ones for brown sugar and confectioner sugar. They seal well and you can see how much you have left when you put it away.

Good Morning, Thank you for contacting Hold N Storage!! I believe that this should be able to hold a full bag of flour as it's a 15.9 Cup container. Shall you have any further questions feel free to contact us!! Have A Wonderful Weekend!!

Only the top shelf would be able to accommodate jars of that size. The middle and bottom only have 4.75 inches between them so probably a jar that is under 4.5 inches would be the tallest that would fit.

I would say No...I tested it with the Ronzoni brand in my cabinet. There were short enough but they were too wide. Other brands may be narrower, but I still don't believe this to be an ideal storage container.

It would fit on a countertop, but I wouldn't put it in the countertop because its just takes too much space. Flours would be good for it because it has a good seal. I use it for rice. I would recommend oxo containers for your spaghetti. It's more expensive but excellent quality. And seals real good.

Depends on what you are considering storage. The fridge and oven hold very ltitle (can't store everything in there). We have ours set up long wise not tall so you can put containers underneath

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!

I don't think it's stable enough to stand upright. I store it nicely in my cupboard, as I also have limited counter space.

The 1 1/2 gallon is huge. It would probably hold 7-8 lbs of flour. It definitely holds a 5 lb bag VERY comfortably!

This would hold a LOT of flour. I can fit a HUGE bag of dog food in it. I would think it would be excessive for flour in an average household. Its about 8 or 10 gallons roughly, and wouldnt fit in most cupboards
