I would like to keep the flour in it's original bag and just drop into container. Would that work for 4 quart? Also, I would also keep the sugar in it's original bag and just drop it into container? Has anyone tried this?

A 5 pound bag of flour is about 4.5" x 6" x 9" and the 4 Qt OXO is 6" x 6" x 10.5", so theoretically it should fit, albeit snuggly. I own this one (along with a bunch of other sizes of this brand), but haven't tried to do what you suggested...keeping original packaging. Appreciate a post back if you try it to let us know how it works -- is it messier or neater? Is clean-up of container between bags easier? Thanks.

81 oz. would fit sugar but not flour. I moved onto the Progressive flour keeper which states it is 3.8 quarts.

The large won't hold a 5# bag of flour, I'm not sure about the medium one, I buy 5lb bags of sugar and it won't fit in 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.

I lightly sprinkled flour inside the bag and had no problems with it sticking. Never thought to use water on the counter to keep the bag in place (!!!) but I will admit, I was very careful rolling the dough. I do always use chilled dough. Pressed down hard to prevent rolling....and it seemed to work ! Good luck.

It would depend on the size of the cup/scoop, of course, but I do keep a 5-lb. bag of flour in one of mine, and scoop from the jar.

I believe you would have to order something like 50 lbs. in order to receive the flour in its original packaging. I ordered the smaller re-packaged bag and it worked out great. Will order again.

Store it in your freezer! It will not solidify, and it lasts for many months there! I keep my Flaxseed, almond flour, and coconut flour in the freezer and take out as much as I need whenever I need it! :)

Sorry, Joyce, I haven't used it for flour, etc., just cookies. Cookies are a biggie here with husband, son-in-law grandies, etc., so a cookie jar was what I needed! The jar is huge, & a 5lb bag of flour would fit, BUT, I wouldn't use it for my flour. There is no seal and I've noticed whatever cookies might be left would get soft, so probably would need a seal. Incidently, I keep my flour in fridge which is best place to keep it.Good cooking!

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.

I pour the 5lb bag of flour into mine. Looking at my container i believe you can.

I have flour in one, sugar in another, confectionery sugar and brown sugar in others. Baking soda is ok, but the container I would keep it in it a bit too big for one box. I use another container to keep my chewing gum fresh. I use another for corn meal (love cornbread), and another for brown sugar cubes for coffee. I've even used the largest one to store my berry sangria. It stays fresh in the fridge to chill, and if extra to store for 1-2 days. I keep everything fresh, and I use them all the time. One time we stored Good and Plenty when it didn't fit in the dispenser. Everything I've put in works. I have flour in one, sugar in another, confectionery sugar and brown sugar in others.

I use 3 cups bread flour with 2 tbls VWG. your results may be * not enough time, not enough yeast for proofing, also not knead enough so it densed in the center,

I left it closed in the kitchen, just as regular flour.... It worked out for me... But I'm no expert! :)

I use 3/4 cup GF to 1 cup regular flour. If I do 1 to 1 it is too much and makes the batter heavy and the finished product not as fluffy.

The containers I bought will hold a 5lb bag of flour if it is absolutely empty. They are great!
