They're not difficult to grasp at all. I don't pour out of it, but it seems like pouring from the corner would work fine.

I have 5 OXO POP containers, including this one. They are light and easy to use. Super simple to clean as well. I do not keep anything in the taller container that needs to be poured, so I cannot answer that question. For my cereal, I use a shorter wider one and keep a scoop in it.

I have not used this size container since it was a gift, but I believe it will be better than most containers. In general these containers are easy to use and the top button prevents them from opening until you push it.

I use this for my cereal, and find it's well designed, not too wide for the average hand. I use one hand to pour the cereal into a bowl. I love how it looks with cereal in it!

you'd just need to make a bigger hold in the nipple for the cereal, providing it's not too thick.

Its a little small for the really large boxes of cereal. I bought the buddeez all-purpose dispenser with handle ($14.62) for the larger boxes of cereal. The cereal box itself won't fit but I remove and open cereal bag, slide it into the dispenser, cut out the front of the cardboard box and slide it in along side the bag (do back of box if kids like the games!), then fit the lid on - tucking the pour spout into the cereal bag. Works perfectly!

I thought the same as well, but they do close, it's just tricky. You have to kind of keep your hand on one side of the bowl while closing the rest. Or press against yourself while closing at the same time, this may not make any sense, sorry! Hope you get it to close!

Yes! These are very sturdy cups and the handles are fairly short as well, so you can get a good grip when scooping heavy ingredients.

Better to pour. It would be unlikely an adult hand would fit through the lid opening. With the lid off, no problem.

Hi - maybe they were not designed for scooping cookie dough. that is when they didn't stand up to the challenge - bent and not satisfactory. Very disappointing.

I've never tried it but I would think if you don't fill all the way they should be fine. They're pretty sturdy.

I have a very hard time trying to get the lids on. I gave up and just use them for cereal in the morning.

A bit late with my response, but just saw this question....went to spam for some reason......I didn't think it was that hard....just make sure to have the cap on, don't overfill and use a spoon to scoop it in.

Some users complained about the breakfast cereal breaking apart when turning the flipper to deliver the cereal. We have just used hard grains and beans like coffee beans, rice, etc. Something thin and soft might break apart but I see other response saying they use it for cereal just fine. The Zevro company has another product right here on Amazon that is pictured with cereal inside. Maybe that version might be a better choice for you in storing breakfast cereal.Zevro KCH-06121/GAT200 Indispensable Dry Food Dispenser, Dual Control, Black/Chrome Some users complained about the breakfast cereal breaking apart when turning the flipper to deliver the cereal.

I've never tried. I use these canisters for dry goods (raisins, nuts, granola, etc.).

I seem to be the only one who has a bit of trouble getting them all screwed together. It is a bit more difficult than I'd like, but that said it's not enough of an issue that it would keep me from using them. I love the size and haven't had any issues with leaking. Though, like many of the other answerers I have not put liquid into them.

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.

Yes. I use mine for cereal. They are dishwasher safe if placed on the top rack. Enjoy!

I would say "No". The spout is not hard, it is indeed soft like a nipple BUT it is shaped like a sippy cup and has the 3 small holes in the nipple like a sippy cup. I don't think they would be able to "suck" the cereal thru it. The mouth forms different around this nipple than it does a bottle nipple. It teaches them to drink from a cup. Hope this helps.

No they are not difficult to use. They do not break easily and you do not have to soften them. They are delicious
