Can the 0.5-quart container hold a pound of sugar? I'm having a hard time visualizing what it can handle.

Probably but can't say for sure. It can't hold a pound of coffee but sugar is denser

The 1 1/2 gallon is huge. It would probably hold 7-8 lbs of flour. It definitely holds a 5 lb bag VERY comfortably!

It holds quite a bit, it's really designed for things like powdered sugar, cinnamon, and such. I'm using it to replace the Mrs. Dash container since I remodeled my kitchen, it easily holds the contents of two regular size spice containers.

I have an old canister that holds my Brown Sugar and the leaf is doing great in there. Hope that helps.

The largest (flour) has no problem holding 5 pounds. It may hold more but as a smaller household I don't purchase larger sizes. The second largest (sugar) holds 4/5 pounds easily. Again, it could hold more but I limit the sizes I buy. Great set of canisters. I have been very pleased with mine.

Yes a whole 5 pound bag of flour fits in this container. I put a piece of scotch tape on the outside of the container, and using a sharpie, write what is inside. The tape is easily removed if you want to change what the content of the container is.

You can fit some sweet & low packets in the sugar bowl, but not many. It is pretty small.

Depends on the size of he bag. Each canister will hold between 2 and 2-1/2 pounds of sugar, flower, etc.

The 8 quart model will fit a 10lb bag of flour, but will require a little settling to get the lid on. I usually dump most of it in, shake it down and than add the rest. 6 quart model fits 10lbs of sugar perfectly.

The tallest I am using for spaghetti (broken in half) I am using the smallest for sugar which I figure that it holds about 1 lb sugar. The tallest I think may be the better for close to 5 lbs.

It doesn't hold sugar, it keeps it moist in the container that you put it in. It works very well too! I have used one for years, but had to replace it when I moved (it got left at my previous home).

I don't know. It was designed for displaying jewelry. I used for my digital professional camera which is heavy for a camera and it was fine. But I wouldn't put a 10 lb sack of sugar on it.

It can hold the weight of a lb of candy, but whether or not the pound of candy will actually fit into the bag depends on the type of candy (how dense it is, etc.) I put a pretty big caramel apple in these bags, several of which I also coated with nuts, candies, etc. They are pretty good size and they are sturdy; imagine a thick cellophane (thicker than the cellophane on cigarettes, at least). I hope that helps.

Absolutely! I have a cookbook that is about 5lbs as well, and it holds it perfectly. The clear plastic in front also helps keep the book clean while it holds it open. I'm completely satisfied with this product and have used it over a dozen times since I purchased it. I think you'll be happy with it.

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.

If you're talking about a pound cake per rack, I would be fine in endorsing this. Even up to 2 each rack, I'm sure it would be fine. The hooks on the back end are really sturdy. My only reservation for pound cakes, or any other cakes which may rise, would be a worry about clearance. I'll go set mine up and measure and then post a picture to the product.

It doesn't all fit in a large size mason jar or whatever it is that I use. But I don't think you'd want anything larger than a quart. What doesn't fit in the jar I use, I just put in its bag in a freezer bag and keep it in the freezer till there's room in the big jar and I haven't noticed any problem with that.
