how many cups of flour you could fit in it at one time? does it sift the flour finely and also where does the sifted flour goes to?

It fits just under five cups. The sifted flour comes out in the bottom and not all over the place.

easily 3 cups, other amount might make it difficult to sift. You need to sift on top of a container or a piece of a parchment paper. Seems to do the job ok; wonder if the turning handle and the grip handle can be engineered better so it would be more comfortable...

It is billed as a 5 cup sifter so I assume you can fit up to 5 cups but I have only used it for 3 or so cups at a time. I don't use it for coarse meal , only all purpose flour but the mesh at the bottom of the gadget is fairly fine.The sifted product will drop immediately below so you need to hold the sifter above a receptacle as you crank it.

I'm sorry I took so long to answer you. I think several cups of flour will fit in at one time, although it probably works better if you just do one or two at a time. It sifts the flower finely and it goes into whatever bowl or container you have sitting underneath the sifter.

Measurements are by volume. It comes with handy measuring tools. Exactly one cup for flour, etc. There are recepies, but I did not pay attention for cinnamon raisin bread. I use my own. If flour is about 3 cups range, results are good. I mostly use dough and separate baking cycle.

I just rinse mine out, the trick is getting it air dried quickly. It can rust in the mesh, the bottom of the crank compartment. It does work great, had holds a lot. I put the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt for a cake or cookies in the sifter and mix it all at once. Seconds and your ready to go.

So sorry for the late response...... the largest canister easily holds a 5 lb. bag of flour, with room to spare. The second largest easily holds a 4 lb. bag of sugar, also with room to spare. I absolutely love this set.

I have placed about 5 1/2 cups of flour in mine but you have to be careful not to go past that. Also, be careful not to overload the motor with a batch of dough this large. It will get hot. When a recipe calls for this much ingredient, I make two batches. It is a bit of trouble but I don't want to ruin my mixer. Hope this helps.

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.........

The recipes in the manual call for up to 5 cups of flour. It has settings for 1 pound, 1 1/2 pound, and 2 pound loaves for smaller recipes.

According to the King Arthur Flour site, it would take 6 quarts for a 5lb bag of flour. This one has 7.5 quarts, so it should fit.

You can keep flour (5lb) in its original bag in the 4 quart. I tried it today.

Mine holds just a little more than 2 measuring cups. I use a large cup for coffee or tea so this works out pretty well for me. If you need more coffee or tea It's very easy to dump out the old grounds and make a new cup. This always gives you a fresh cup with no old coffee taste.

I usually mix about 4 cups of flour in my bread recipe and it works fine. Last time I doubled my recipe and it mixed up OK, but there was straining so I think it was too much.

Yes, it holds 3 cups but, I dump a cup at a time into it, it makes it a lot easier to use, and to dump the clumps.My question to you is: What are you doing? Sifting everything? I use my sifter to keep my rolling board and my hands powdered up while I knead the dough, I find that 1/2 cup will do the job.

Mine holds 3 cups, the screen is dipped, to hold about one cup and then it has marks on the side for 2 and 3 cup levels. I measure mine with another cup when I put my flour in

Yes, it does take 3 cups at a time. The sifter will almost be filled, but you should not turn the handle too fast because the flour will spill.

You could, in a pinch, but you are better off with an actual flour sifter. Although the mesh is tight, a flour sifter is much tighter and would warrant much better results in baking. Best of luck!
