I want to use for cereal, how many cups can you comfortably fit in with enough room to twist tie securely?

It has been awhile since we used these; I would guess 1/2 cup without crushing.

I think it would be perfect for what you need. I am guessing but maybe a cup each. I am using it for jarred baby food for my grandson. It holds way more than he can eat. Hope this helps.

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 have mine in the 4 qt. it is kind of tight as they are a little tall. I am hoping to find one a little larger for this and also would love 6 qt for bag cereal. I really love this product. It has done so much for my pantry. Hope this helps

I also use it for various breakfast cereals - oatmeal, quinoa, steel cut oats,etc. 2 parts water to 1 part cereal has worked for me in every case. It's important for a cooker this size to use no more than a rounded 1/3 cup or less of cereal to avoid boil over. If you want to make cereal for more than one person get a larger cooker.

Go to a store and carry a tape measure with you. One glance at the cup or bowl will tell you how much soup or cereal or coffee/tea with go in them. Do you need to be spoon-fed?

It holds 142 ounces and since 8 ounces = 1 cup then it stands to reason that this container would hold 17.75 cups. I can usually fit almost three boxes of cereal in one of these if that helps.

Much depends on how high you fill them. I would estimate 1/2 to 1 cup maximum for the large and 1/4 to 1/3 for smaller.I primarily use for biscuit/cookie cutters.

it's not difficult at all. I purchased them for my church and we use foam and paper cups for tea and coffee, Styrofoam bowls for hot cereal. It was a better choice than the one with the lever. Enjoy

It holds about 20 oz. It is great for cereal and salads. It is not microwave safe. If you use it in a microwave it seeps chemicals into the food.

I agree, it depends on the size of your cup, but 6 to 8 cups should be about right.Nancy A.

I only have ever put a few small handfuls in. I would say maybe 1 cup would fit.

Probably about 1/8 cup. I use them for sewing stuff like snaps, clasps, buttons & beads. I love mine!

Not that much. Maybe 2 cups... I have two different brands and neither hold 4 cups, but if you pre cut your ingredients, you can make multiple batches quickly (if you're making guac or salsa).

I had purchased the 6" X 2.5" x 2" as you did for my banana nut bread. I put them in a Fall theme cello bag which was 11" X 5" and had plenty of length to close with the twist ties, included, and then covered the twist ties with a pretty ribbon. You could go smaller, but I was doing mine for a Fall Day of Giving at our church and wanted the bags I purchased that only came in one size. I also sprayed my pans with Baking Spray before adding batter to each. All were wrapped in Saran Wrap and frozen until the day before the event. Once defrosted, I placed them in the cello bags and the banana bread was so moist. I had purchased the 6" X 2.5" x 2" as you did for my banana nut bread.

The large holds 1 cup easily. The small holds about half a cup. That is filling the bottom half and then screwing the top on. If you fill the bottoms any fuller then the food gets in the way of the grooves and you can't screw the two halves together. I think each could hold another 1/2 cup or so if you closed the slots each time and filled the top half and screwed the bottom on while it was 'upside-down'. That would take more time.

It's been a while and I'm trying to recall.... I would say you could fit one of those very small loaves (like the super mini ones that you can buy those small loaf pans for). But Make sure it's not too tall (doesn't rise too much) and you can tie off the end really well so it stays mostly air tight. :-)
