Great, but not perfect

Okay, I was lured in by an article/review of these that was posted on a cooking site. I was intrigued by some of the little details like the pour spout on the sugar container, the flour & powdered sugar containers have measuring cup levelers that can be snapped into place, the brown sugar container has a terra cotta disc that can be soaked to ensure a little moisture is in there, etc. I had these saved in my cart for quite some time, and I recently got a message from Honey saying that the price had dropped...which is what got me to finally make the purchase. We have been using a mismatched set of canisters for years, and they drive me nuts. So, I was super happy when these arrived, and I wasted no time in getting them washed & ready for use. To revisit the details...I love how the powdered sugar container includes a little spoon which allows you to scoop out spoonful of powdered sugar on one end, or fill up the other end (slide the cover back over) and it becomes a perfect little shaker spoon for dusting a dessert or French toast. And, when not in use, that double-ended spoon conveniently snaps into the underside of the lid for storage. Now that I have them, I realize that the manufacturer had some great ideas, but they also overlooked some things that would have made these storage containers perfect. For starters, let's look at sizing. I know that they tried matching average product storage need to the container size, but it leads to containers that do not necessarily stack very well. For example, the brown sugar & coffee containers are both 1.5 quarts and the sugar & grain containers are 2.5 quarts. The first two and the last two stack with each other nicely, but they have totally different footprints which means that sitting a 1.5qt on top of a 2.5qt container works, but it reinforces how dissimilar they are. It is like stacking nesting boxes on your countertop. This could have been corrected if the manufacturer had made them have the same top & bottom sizes with shorter sides for the smaller containers. That way they could be stacked, stay "locked" together nicely, and look homogenic while still being differently sized. Furthermore, the powdered sugar container is 1.4 quarts which means it will sit on top of either of those two, but it is just an oddball, smaller container. Notwithstanding the sizing complaint, these are still great storage containers. They seal EXTREMELY well. So well, in fact, that one must have been closed & sealed where it was either super hot or in the vacuum of space. I almost broke the container getting it opened that first time, as the top was suctioned on so tightly. It quite noticeably sucked in air when I actually got it opened up the tiniest bit. Overall, the fit & finish is good, and the material thickness seems quite adequate. I anticipate using these for a good number of years to come.

Air tight pantry containers

I’m really happy with this container set. The different sizes are perfect for organizing baking staples like flour, sugar, brown sugar, and smaller items like sprinkles or nuts. The airtight seals work really well and keep everything fresh, which was the main reason I bought them. The design is very thoughtful. I love that some of the containers come with built-in levelers and accessories, which makes measuring ingredients much easier and less messy. The containers also feel sturdy and well made, not flimsy like some storage sets. They look clean and organized in my pantry and make it easy to see how much of each ingredient I have left. Overall, this is a great set if you bake often or want a more organized pantry.

Great quality!

Very nice. Sturdy. If anything, I’d say to be careful because they seem as tho they would break easy if dropped or something. They are a very thick plastic that is almost glass-like, if that makes sense. Good quality looking stuff. The terra-cotta disc in the brown sugar one really works! My extremely, rock hard brown sugar is now soft. One other thing to be careful of is that the tops are heavy when open, so be careful if you don’t have enough product in the container to balance the weight out, the container may tip over when you have the top open. Love all the fancy gadget pieces that go with it. I forgot to do a video before putting all the product in, sorry :) Oh, and the tops are airtight when closed!!

Almost perfect….

Almost perfect, 5lb bag of flour, check. 2.5lb bag of brown sugar and terra cotta keeper to keep it moist, check. Powdered sugar is where it falls down. It has the little sifter to sprinkle with, sure… but there’s no chance 2lbs of powdered sugar is getting into that container!!! Maybe a box and a little more… but not a 2lb bag. I’m very disappointed! Also I had to buy a separate flour canister for my whole wheat flour because the sugar canister isn’t big enough to hold a 5lb bag of whole wheat flour. So, that’s done but yes, they’re gorgeous. Just disappointed with the powdered sugar canister.
