What makes these different from Rubbermaid or other food storage containers - Couldn't they be used to store bread dough just as easily?

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 container has plenty of room to mix and allow to rise in one container. The other containers are not large enough to mix and when you seal the top all my dough rose well. The price is for two so economical.

As there are many different flours, most all need to be in airtight container's. These tin containers are painted so I would store items in a Ziploc bag then place in container. They look good and are very sturdy.

Yes. I can fit 2 loaves of bread plus tuck a few random items in at the same time. I really like mine, but haven't noticed that it keeps bread from molding any slower. It looks great in my 'retro/euro' kitchen.

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.

Yes. They are perfect for storing food, microwaving, transporting, etc. Bought a huge box of 1000+ use them all the time. When microwaving baked goods, the food does not get rubbery.

The bottom of the bread box is made of stainless steel, same as rest of box. There is a rubberized band that goes around the entire box at each that slightly raises the box off the counter -- enough to slide several pieces of paper under the box at one time. This likely prevents moisture from affecting the stainless steel. I've had the bread box for several months now without any problems -- I like it -- lightweight, large and durable. Works for me.

They are not removable and I've found Rubbermaid containers to be the best.

I would not rate it like a ziploc or other kitchen container for food. Would work for chips, bread, etc when camping for bugs and such.

I think there is enough room to roll your bread out---but this cart has wheels and rolls pretty easily--so it would move around while you were working on your dough.

If you have a bread machine it may not hold the whole recipe. I fix half a box at a time and use my bread machine and it doesn't fall apart.

The lid is used for baking to keep the steam in to allow the bread to rise before the crust develops. It slides apart from the pan so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

I don't know. I didn't keep mine. The bread keeper is so clunky and awkward. And the bread slicer broke after a few uses. I went to a wooden slicer guide and bread bags.

I just tried a frozen loaf of Nature's Own Whole Grain; and it did not fit (maybe if the bread wasn't frozen, I could possibly fit two loaves without being too squished. Maybe French or Italian loaves that aren't so high might fit. I use the shelves for my dish towels, rags, hot pads, plastic wrap, foil, etc. and they work wonderfully.

Yes you can by going to the Hefty web site. However , I use a plastic flour storage container from Big Lots that only cost around $2.00 and has a lid to keep closed when I have not put too much in it.

I don't think it would, as it is not air-tight. It would be similar to putting unwrapped bread in a cabinet or drawer.

I freeze bread in them all the time. I do know someone who double bags her bread when she is traveling a long distance just as an added protection and since these bags are so nicely priced, you can afford to just that.

I have dried yeast in it, and I'm very happy. I think there would be wasted space with Ritz crackers and the stack might not stay neat. Plus it might not hold a full box. Why not just get one of the other Lock&Lock and toss them in? I am a big fan of the assorted rectangular ones which come in a huge range of sizes.
