Thoughts on using this for storing sourdough starter...

I have never used the jar for this but it is glass, has a wide opening for easy access... I just wonder if the lid might be too tight.

I bought three of these years ago to store fruit that I had dehydrated. They are attractive and with the wide mouth, it's easy to access the contents. In my mind, it all depends on whether you need them to be reasonably airtight. These jars are not. By the way, there is a small circular gasket in the lid that keeps it tight and prevents rattling (they don't screw on). That gasket came off on one of my three jars so it really is not usable anymore. Again, if it needs to be airtight, it is not. I hope this helps.

Absolutely not! It is not a flimsy plastic. I was just telling someone the other day that this is such a wonderful appliance!!! So glad we got it!!! I make tons of sourdough bread for friends. I have used the same starter for about 25 years! Until a years or so ago, I was doing all the mixing by hand! This mixer is pretty awesome and I highly recommend it! It is heavy duty without the "heaviness' of an industrial appliance. I use it almost every week and have had zero problems!

Yes. I currently store a toaster oven, a flava wave, crock pot and two George Forman grills on one shelf and I store heavy duty deep stock pots and a stack of heavy aluminum pots on the bottom shelf. It's a surprisingly strong unit. I also keep a ceramic utensil holder on the overhead shelf and some smaller odds and ends up there. I have my keurig coffee maker sitting on the butcher's block portion of the unit.

Absolutely! It looks nice and saves counter space. I've had mine for less than 2 weeks and really glad I purchased it.

Of course. I have used it for my sourdough since the week it came out. Amazing. I also have made natto with it, and kefir.

I use this container for bread flour. It is pretty good made. I have been using this for over 6months and I never have any trouble with any bugs and humidity.

I'm sure it would work to bake sourdough bread fine, it's worked great for the different loaves I've baked so far.

* Vent should be rotated to "closed" for use in drier climates to help prevent goods from going stale. * Vent should be rotated to "open" for use in more humid climates to help prevent goods from molding. Items with a crisper crust, such as sourdough or artisan breads, should be kept with the vent open to preserve the crust. Freshly baked goods should also be kept with the vent open to allow steam and moisture to escape to minimize condensation.

There is room for one 12" pizza dough or one 12" by 12" flatbread. I am not for sure you wouldn't have better luck putting either one in your oven, with only the light burning to help the dough rise.I bake lots of bread and can put two bread pans in the proofer at a time, that gives plenty of room for circulation of the heat and the moisture from the water tray in the bottom. I am sold on the proofer and use it for bread, for yogurt and keeping sourdough starter. If you are only going to do one pizza dough or one flatbread, I feel sure it would work,,,,just don't go over 12" width. There is room for one 12" pizza dough or one 12" by 12" flatbread.

I opened it and transferred contents into several gallon size ziplocks. Stored each in freezer to also keep flour fresh. Works great. Bring flour to room temp b4 using in ur recipe.

We've had our small Danby all-refrigerator in the garage in Southern California for several years. (Same basic model, but older, with the can storage in the door.) We use it for storing beverages and for storing extra food in preparation for holidays/parties. The only thing we've had trouble with is milk, which seemed to go sour faster if it was kept in the garage frig. Be aware that this frig does have some temperature fluctuations and can freeze items on the bottom shelf. It also needs about 5 inches of space behind it, so the compressor (?) runs correctly.

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 this same container and although I haven't used it for homemade bread I do use mine for bakery bought bread. It really seems to keep the bread fresher longer.

I would not store unwrapped bread. I believe you should wrap in plastic wrap or put in ziplock bag.

yes it is very good for sugar storage.. and storage of flour and even pasta.. it is that product that seems to rust on the outside.. or looks like rust

My experience has been for short term storage it would be okay, but I don't believe the bags are completely airtight. I have had crackers and other things go stale when stored for long periods of time which tells me some moisture migrates through the plastic.

Hi, I decided to look further at my rack after Reading the other responses. The other posters are right. I see that several of my dividers have popped out from the weight of my cookie sheets. So I think they're probably right it would not be a good idea.
