Could these be used to store flour and sugar, etc?

I'm not sure I would use them for flour, etc, unless it was just storage for unopened bags. They are not air tight and don't really latch. But, that said, I use them for dog food that I have poured into the bins from the bag (so no longer in a bag). I have been using them about 3 months and have not had any issues with bugs or other critters in the dog food. There was only one instance when our puppy was able to get into one and that was because the scoop we use was preventing the lid from closing all the way.

I have two, 1 1/2 gallon jars. I use one to hold a little more than a pound of flour. The other holds a two-pound bag of sugar.

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.

I guess you could, although they are not air tight. I purchased them to store dry cat food and bird seed, and they are PERFECT for that. They are good quality, sturdy and convenient with the flip up lid.

I would think so. I use mine for Dog and Cat food. They hold a 4 lb bag of these products with room to spare, and they require more volume than flour.

I have flour in one, sugar in another, confectionery sugar and brown sugar in others. Baking soda is ok, but the container I would keep it in it a bit too big for one box. I use another container to keep my chewing gum fresh. I use another for corn meal (love cornbread), and another for brown sugar cubes for coffee. I've even used the largest one to store my berry sangria. It stays fresh in the fridge to chill, and if extra to store for 1-2 days. I keep everything fresh, and I use them all the time. One time we stored Good and Plenty when it didn't fit in the dispenser. Everything I've put in works.

Jean, I don't use mine this way but I would say that the largest would hold 2/12# flour, packed down and the next size would hold most of the sugar. I sure would try them as they are a tremendous set and it sounds like you would keep refilling them anyway.

I don't think it would be good for that. The space in the top is small. I keep hair clips in the drawer. The bottom drawer is good for tall bottles or cans of hair spray shampoo and such but I can't imagine it would really work for baking sheets. And I can't think of any place cooking utensils would fit.

I'm not sure what your question is - are you asking if they can hold that much? I can put a 5lb bag of flour in mine with a little room left at the top, definitely nothing more than that.

The OXO Pet Pop Container fits a 5 lb. bag of sugar perfectly. So I assume it would also work for flour.

It would be too large for my counters, I don't have that much counter space. I went with large glass canisters, they're round and tall so don't seem too big on my counter. These would work well for flour and sugar if you have the space, nice wide opening to dip into.

I'm not using it for sugar so I don't know the answer to that. I have Tupperware canisters for my sugar. Sorry

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.

Jasmine, I don't use mine anymore, I bought them quite a long while ago, but I am sure they can store almost up to anything, the smaller the grain then the harder they will be to pour (I think).

Absolutely! However, I would NOT put sugar in this container. It's not air-tight enough to prevent ants from getting inside.

Yes they would. They are easy to clean and storage is not a problem. The fact that there is three of them hooked together, makes it almost impossible to lose, a big plus in my kitchen. Good luck.

Yes, absolutely, this container vault is very secure and safe. It has been free from bugs and has securely stored by Poochon's dry dog food so I'm confident to say it would safely store your flour or sugar. I hope my answer is helpful in your decision making.
