is this product only for use for dog food? looking to store flour.

This container would be unsuitable for storing bulk flour since it does not seal properly, unless you don't mind the added protein from weevils and other insects.

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

If you were putting a 50 lb. sack inside the container rather than emptying it into the container it could possibly work. I don't think I would store flour in it without some type of liner.

I have not tried using it in place of flour. We use it like Bisquick, for biscuits and pancakes.I would imagine it would work. You may have to adjust the amount of liquid though, sometimes it's a bit sticky

I don't use it for dog food but it is a large container. It holds 50 lbs of rice and beans, but I did not weight that either. If you have very dense dog food I would guess yes. I think others who actually use it for dog food may have more specific answers. Good luck.

Yes, absolutely, this container vault is very secure and safe. It has been free from bugs and has securely stored by Poochon's dry dog food so I'm confident to say it would safely store your flour or sugar. I hope my answer is helpful in your decision making.

No, you wouldn't be able to get a whole bag of flour in one of these. Maybe half of the bag would fit. Same thing with sugar.

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

Don't know why not. We are using it to store large plastic containers of food for our dog and cat. The inside shelf is adjustable to different heights. We really love the piece!! Hope this helps!

nope . will work only for grains....like rice and some whole grains. flour will clog and very hard to dispense. wouldn't store sugar in it - container not being airtight it might crystallise esp in tropical climate.

Best to contact Bob's Redmill. It wasn't listed though. We use it as a starch for one of our dogs who has protein losing enterapathy and can't digest certain oils. Helps him to maintain energy.

I don't think it would be a good flour replacement. I use it in smoothies or desserts. It's not a grain.

Yes! It is almost like flour and works for everything! Grubs, fleas, worms, any pests and/or insects! And it works! Vet recommended. Safe for children and animals. I read its best to scatter in yard before rain and rain will soak it into ground.

You can use it for anything you would use flour for. It is just a lot denser than regular flour so you must use it sparingly.

As of yet I have had no problems with this jar, and I do use it for flour. It serves its purpose as well as looking great on my counter. Good luck!

I have one for bread flour and one for regular flour. I also mark the outside of the container. I also have one for sugar. They keep the pantry very organized.

I don't know if that would work or not. May depend what you have in the top one. I returned the two I ordered. They were really flimsy and didn't close...supposed to be airtight. Need that for dog food. Might work for recycling items.I would find them sold locally if you can and check out before ordering. They are sold in large pet stores and farm stores. Unfortunately, I didn't know that until after I had ordered them. Good luck.

It seals, but I have flour in mine and the rubber seal keeps falling off. And I have the smaller cannesters and the brown sugar is always getting clumpy. Not all that impressed. I use mine for dog food now and it works great for that. (Hope that helps)
