I haven't put anything like that in them yet; so I don't really know. I am quite sure they each hold one pound and possibly two.

Just wanted to add that this is a really nice canister set. You can put a five pound bag of flour in the first container and still have room in it. I use the second container for sugar, the third for brown sugar, and the fourth for tea bags. I really like the looks of it too. You just have to wipe it down with a damp cloth and dry once in a while to remove the fingerprints that will eventually show but I really like the quality of the set itself.

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.

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.

You can absolutely store flour and sugar in these. So they are not only cute, they are functional.

Approx 8- 9 inches high. I store 10lbs of sugar in one. During the holidays it hold an assortment of cookies. I love them. I apologize for the timing, hope this helps. I am very please with this product.

You can keep flour (5lb) in its original bag in the 4 quart. I tried it today.

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.

Yes, liters. The product originated in New Zealand. It will hold a full 5 pound bag of flour.

It is unfortunate that the answers you've gotten so far are all over the map but at least you got the simple answer to your question, which is "yes." What I also learned is that a cup of flour weighs about 5 oz but may vary between 4 and 6 oz. If we use 5 oz multiplied by the 16 cups of volume in a gallon, that's 80 ounces of flour that will fit in a gallon, which is the same as five pounds (80 oz/16 oz per lb). So a standard 5 lb. package of flour will fit a one gallon container pretty closely. A 1.5 gallon container like this one might fit about 7-8 lbs of flour. Hope that helps.

I put flour and sugar in mine. They have rubber seals on them an as long as you make sure they are tightly closed, they work ok. I would not say they are really super air tight though.

I never have any problem with my recipe,5 1/2 cup of flour, 2 1/2 cup of warm water, 2 tbs of yeast, 2/4 cup of sugar. The flour I use is King Arthur is the good one. I hope thus recipe help you.

It's NOT 3.25 ounces but not sure exactly how big it is. It does not fit a full size 5 pound bag of flour but would probably fit a 5 lb bag of sugar. I use it for smaller bags of flour.

I'm sorry, but I don't know! The first time I ordered this set, it arrived broken and I had to return it. The 2nd set was also broken - I again returned it to Amazon and told them what a horrible job of packaging was done on both orders and did not re-order. I was very disappointed, as the set was so pretty and exactly what I wanted. I think the large one would hold a small bag of flour, plus - but don't know if it would hold a full five pound bag. Wish I had gotten the set unbroken so I could have an answer for you.

The largest one can hold either 5 lb of flour or 5 lb of sugar, but the middle-sized one cannot. The middle-sized one holds about 4 lb of sugar, so if you're baking and use some of a new package the remainder would fit. This issue is why I bought two sets. I use the two largest for the 5 lb flour and sugar. I use the other ones for brown sugar, powdered sugar, tea bags, choc chips etc. I didn't have any problem finding a use for the 6 cannisters.
