What is the diameter of the tins? These canisters might actually work better than the tissue boxes for what I want. Can the lids be removed?

The outer dimensions are 10 " 15.25" and 20.5". The lids are hinged and are not removable-nor do they seal well (meaning a full canister when being moved will dribble out sugar, etc.). Latches are a bit "loose" and difficult to line up to engage them. Hope this info helps you out.

Diameters are approx. 61/2 in., 5 in. & 4 in. The lids cannot be removed. They are hinged.

I returned the item because it was just way too small. I purchased "STERNO" at the same time but do not recall if the tin containers were too large for the unit. Tins are approx. 2.5" diameter, and approx. 2" tall. These are 7.8 oz size. Perhaps you could scoop some sterno out of the tin(s) and place into the unit? Don't know if that would work ....

The lids are fairly easy, but can be a half at times. They fit pretty tight, and are easiest to take off when done evenly rather than trying to lift one side at a time. One downfall I have experienced is if you use your fingers to lift the edges and press your thumbs into the center as you would a tupper ware, the clear panel pops out into the canister! It pops back in easily, but what a floury mess, potentially. Hope this helped.

The regular lids and rings do fit but I haven't tried to actual use them for sealing in canning.

Hi -- I actually think my previous post was wrong, and that these lids do come apart (2 pieces), fyi. We didn't use the lids much, tho they're pretty. As for size, we fit the tea light size candles inside these jars just fine (the kind with the silver foil-like bottom/sides.) The votives don't work as well, as the wax pools and puts out the candle. But yes, the tea lights fit in just fine and looked great. I still use them around the house (we bought these for a wedding. The tea lights can be purchased in packs of like 12 or 24 pretty cheap.) These are really cute, tho small, jars. Again, not sure I'd use them for food preserving, tho they might work just fine.

I just used mine tonight! They are 2.25" across the bottom, 3.5" across the top, and 1.5" tall. I checked and they fit exactly inside my 6 hole jumbo muffin tin.

Yes you can take them out, quite easily. They are just plastic. I don't even use the shaker lids on any of mine.

Yes, but the plastic (acrylic) canisters seem pretty thin. One cracked when I was trying to close it. Not very good quality material on the containers.

They are very small and they don't have individul lids. I was never able to return them because they made it such a hassle. So make sure it is exactly what you want.

I just measured the diameter of these lids. They are 3 3/8 inches and 2 7/8 inches. They not only fit on my 5.5oz cat food cans, but also on my 15oz. Libby's Pumpkin cans, and my 14.5oz broth cans. Also, they fit my 7oz tuna cans.

I bought the 15.3 cup containers they are (9-1/16 inches tall) & 9-1/4 inch x 4-3/16 inches at widest point of snap on covers. They are smaller than I thought they would be & they did not work for the large bags of cerial I planned to use them for. The top has 4 clips that have to be unsnapped to refill them then re-snapped to close them. They look like they seal up good & they smelled like plastic but I think... they have aired out enough that they should work ok for food storage.

They are about an inch across and half an inch tall. I use these for my homemade lip balms. The only complaint I have is the difficulty getting the lids back on.

No, they don't. But I don't consider that to be a problem. An Altoids tin, or plastic Q-tip container works just fine. Reduce/Reuse/Recycle and all that.

They aren't very big as I remember. I'm sorry I can't help you as to exact size as I've been in GA since June and the tins are in TX at my home. I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you.

Have never tried tin cans. Only crushed aluminum cans. Usually remove both ends and flatten steel/tin cans for recycling.

The diameter at the opening of each of the canisters is 4 inches. They are very small canisters that could be used in the bathroom for cotton balls, q-tips etc. I needed them for a candy table at a party, and they were just too small to be used in that way. I hope that this helps.
