are these good for sugar storage?

I use one for white sugar and another for brown. They are air tight so they keep sugar well.

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

Anything that needs moisture.... I don't have a problem with regular sugar getting hard, but I do use these when I make cookies, they keep the cookies soft.

They are air tight. I use them to store yeast and have never had a problem.

I have owned these for a year now and store sugar in one and coffee in the other. I live in the South where moisture reigns supreme. The lids have a seal around them that helps it conform to the jar. I do not get moisture in my sugar or have problems with coffee. I store my flour in the pantry. If you want something Tupperware tight then look elsewhere otherwise these work fine. The jars are bright, colorful, and beautifully painted.

I'm not exactly sure because there are no markings on the tins. The largest one could hold a 10# bag of sugar though. The red one is quite a bit smaller than the large one. May hold a 5# bag of sugar. i don't know if this helps or not. You can't use them as canisters for sugar, flour, tea ext since they have no seal on them. They are not air tight containers. They are attractive though.

yes, provided you put a baking sheet under them for stability. Be aware that these are very small, as in small chocolate size. I thought they were bigger in the picture.

I have never done that, but I don't think it would be a problem. I use mine for food storage such as grains, sugar and flour. They are supposed to be okay for anything. I would think it would stain, but I don't see that as a problem.

Absolutely. They are great in the freezer. I use them that way all the time.

They are too fragile to store stuff you use often. But I would say no to the 5lb of sugar.

Sure, I use them myself for storing beans and rice. Use a moisture absorber with food products too. You can use them for ammunition storage as well.

No they don't so I just use them for misc. stuff not flour sugar etc. Honestly they are cute but they are metal canisters with those flower cut outs just stuck on wasn't quite what I was expecting a little disappointed.

I don't the two largest will hold 5 lbs of sugar. They are smaller than they look.

I never used the jar for sugar however I would think it depended on your climate. I live in a dry desert atmosphere. All containers work. Seal or no seal

I don't see why you couldn't store spices in them. I used them to make lip balm as gifts. They seem pretty airtight and can probably hold a good tablespoon of product.

I have not. I use them for flour and sugar. If Anchor Hocking has a website, perhaps they can answer your queston.

Yes, these are good for storing your pot or anything. Clear or colored glass is save for use.

Mine are Type 7 Other, which is probably not going to help you. I imagine that they are safe for food. However, I find them quite brittle and several of mine have broken. If you are careful in handling them (e.g., never, ever try to pry out hardened brown sugar), they are fine for casual use. The large openings are nice.
