Will an entire 5 LB bag of flour fit in one of these?

According to the King Arthur Flour site, it would take 6 quarts for a 5lb bag of flour. This one has 7.5 quarts, so it should fit.

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.

Dear Careful Customer: Just for you, I measured bread flour by the leveled-off cup into the smallest of these canisters (the turquoise colored one). It held exactly 5 cups.

The largest canister holds a 5 lb. bag of flour and the next largest holds a 5 lb. bag of sugar.

We've been putting 10lb bags of flour in with a little room left over. I'm not sure how much more will fit but 10lbs fits easily.

Yes, the biggest one - we use ours for flour - can fit a one cup measuring cup to scoop out.

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

It fits just under five cups. The sifted flour comes out in the bottom and not all over the place.

I actually returned these as they were a lot smaller than I expected. The largest canister will only hold about a half a bag of flour....

it will hold a 5 lb bag of flour. (I use mine as a cookie jar) It is much larger than I thought it would be. I love the set.

No! 5 pounds of flour is very comfortable .. Maybe 6 or 7 would fit but not 10.

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!

Personally, I think that would be a very tight fit. These bags are wonderful. But, I have used them strictly with flat items like cookies.

We keep 2lbs of loose tea in the largest canister and it's a tight fit. The 2nd largest has cat food and it holds about a pound. Sorry, we've never tested with flour.

The 1 1/2 gallon is huge. It would probably hold 7-8 lbs of flour. It definitely holds a 5 lb bag VERY comfortably!

These are lightweight containers. If you put 5 pounds of flour in it, it won't weigh much over five pounds.

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!
