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.

I store mine in a plastic container, otherwise known as a dough bucket which has a tight seal when closed, and keep it in the pantry. No refrigeration is necessary.

I have no idea. They are not particularly heavy but they fulfill my need to store and freeze my homemade bread.

Don't know. We live in Arizona where it is SUPER dry all the time so we have to keep our bread wrapped or it will turn to croutons the next day. But, just a simple bag (paper or plastic) does help keep the bread fresh for a decent amount of time. We're a family of five so we go through bread pretty quick...it never has time to dry out. I love this bread box it's the perfect size and looks very nice.

It is not airtight and if I didn't remember wrongly, it has holes. I bought it for bread storage but it doesn't work.

I'm not sure that sealing them would make them shelf stable anyway... Part of the reason it's good to make your own baby food is that foo has to reach high temperatures in order to be shelf stable. That takes much of the nutrients out of the fruits and veggies. Like the other posters said, I love it!

I don't think there is any food prossesors like this will make dough, they are not really made for that purposebut i have used this one for everything else,shread zuccs,slce potatoes etc. the 10 cup volume is greatcan do enugh food in one operation,dough should be done with a much more powerfull machine.

They're pretty sturdy. A cookie sheet would be a good idea though. By the way, the 2" ones really aren't what I'd recommend for baking any thing that will rise a lot and run over-like banana breads. firmer bread loaves would likely be fine. Hope this helps.

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.

These containers are made of Food Grade Plastic, the ones used in restaurants and bakeries. I have bought different sizes in the past from Smart and Final. They last forever. I bought these large ones for letting my sourdough bread rise. They are a hard plastic, hard to stain. I've used them to freeze things, store my sourdough starter. I think you'll be very happy with them. They're more expensive than some, but well worth the cost.

These are typical condiment take out containers. In terms of strength, they are less sturdy/thick than Glad plastic containers. I have used these for jelly and cooled soup, though I won't them for soup again because they weren't rigid enough.

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.

They are not fancy so if you are looking to store something for yourself they would be fine. If you are looking to store and sell, these are probably not the containers for that. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use this for food storage at all ! it not made for that, it's not ait tight, you have no idea if the material if free of toxins or full of them. A better idea would be to but a Vittels Vault, they're great for food storage, they lock down air tight. Amazon carries them in many sizes I suggest checking them out.

The jar does not have any rubber gaskets, and the screw top is not all that tight, so I would sat it is likely not air tight. I only use it to store change.

I find them very useful for developing the dough. For the Starter I use something much smaller; like a Peanut Butter or Pickle jar. I imagine if the amount of starter was more than for the use of several people; as in a commercial enterprise this container would work. But, I only make 2 or 3 loaves of bread at a time. Since a sourdough starter takes a longer rise time than commercial yeast, I like to use these containers. Just put them away for a while, sometimes 12 to 24 hours and let mother nature do it's work. Hope that helps.

These are best for use on a regular basis rather than long term storage. They r expensive and very flimsy for mass storage you would need several. Also when storing in a ziplock you risk a temp change when removing the whol bag from the freezer for a few sticks. They also tend to freeze together. Hope that helps. I loved the playtex storage system.
