How many pounds of flour, sugar, etc can be stored in 1, 11/2, &amp; 2 gallon Montana jars with airtight lid?

Yes-a five pound bag of flour will fit into this. A six quart container generally fits 5 lbs of flour and 6 quarts= 1 1/2 gallons. Here is a link to guide you:http://www.simplyprepared.com/storage%20containers.htm

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

The largest will hold a 5 lb. bag of sugar and the other one would hold 2 lbs of flour. These canisters are great. So glad I purchased them. You won't be disappointed!

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

The 8 quart model will fit a 10lb bag of flour, but will require a little settling to get the lid on. I usually dump most of it in, shake it down and than add the rest. 6 quart model fits 10lbs of sugar perfectly.

I put 25 lbs in a 5-gallon bucket. I wouldn't put in anymore than that. I store lentils and black eye peas.

This jar is around 6 1/2 inches tall and will NOT hold 30 cookies. I also have the 1 1/2 gallon jar which would hold 30or more cookies. In fact, I can store an entire box of granola bars from Costco in this jar...very convenient!

I don't know the answer to that. We store ours in a mason jar and pull out one as needed. I use it for sugar, flour, dried beans, bread crumbs...you name it! They work GREAT! Hope this helps.

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.

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!

It is unfortunate that the answers you've gotten so far are all over the map but at least you got the simple answer to your question, which is "yes." What I also learned is that a cup of flour weighs about 5 oz but may vary between 4 and 6 oz. If we use 5 oz multiplied by the 16 cups of volume in a gallon, that's 80 ounces of flour that will fit in a gallon, which is the same as five pounds (80 oz/16 oz per lb). So a standard 5 lb. package of flour will fit a one gallon container pretty closely. A 1.5 gallon container like this one might fit about 7-8 lbs of flour. Hope that helps.

My wife told me that it appears to be tall enough to hold the 1/2 gallon jars but she does not use that size so she does not know how many it will hold. Sorry

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.

The big one holds 5 lbs flour, the middle one almost 4 lbs of sugar. I haven't decided what to keep in the small jar so can't speak to how much it holds.

I live in Idaho and have stored Flour for over a year and have had no problems. But do remember that Idaho is not a humid state. I love mine for flour and plan on getting one for sugar too.

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