Thinking of using these as canister's for flour, sugar &amp; coffee in the camper... any thoughts?

The lids do not seal at all. These are primarily decorative, and I would not use these for that purpose. You would probably end up with bugs in your staples.

I plan to use plasticware in my canisters. They would definitely hold plasticware without tipping.

I bought this for s friend. Not sure, but these DO work well for containing flour. I would like to have one for my mixer!

I don't believe they would be good if you baked them. They are fairly thin and I think they would burn. I use them for choc caramel tarts which is cooked before filled.

I think it would work! There's enough room in there for a quart jar, so I'd take your 1/2 pts - stack them on top of each other and see how that compares to the height of a quart jar. I'd suggest using some sort of "spacer" between the jars - just seems like a good idea. And I would not worry about the temperature - everything in the canner will be the same temp - one it starts to steam and the gauge says you are ready!

I am using them for decoration but could see the utility for food. Just don't put anything in them for too long. Dog biscuits, maybe something like that. But yes, they are not perfectly air tight. Also if one does decide to put in the dishwasher remove the removable seal and wash that by hand. The lids might benefit from hand washing too. I originally saw these in a coffee shop on the display counter. They had non perishables in them. But if you are not storing anything that absolutely needs freshness or for too long, the jars do the trick. For displaying curiosities and terrariums they are perfect!

The openings are adequate for my purposes. I use the canisters to store K-cups (coffee) and artificial sweetner packages. While the openings are not wide enough to fit a watermelon, they are fine for my use :). They are very handsome and look great on my counter.

Not bad... remember these are plastic bowls... More for storing food (e.g. leftovers -which I use it for). Then doing brownie mixes. Could you use them for that purpose (mixing for brownies and cookies) Sure..... but as you most likely already know... glass bowls are probably be best. I'm not saying that you shouldn't purchase it. Just keep in mind that you are working with plastic ... the price is right and you can't go wrong. Good luck and don't forget to share your cookies!JG

Yes, I use these bags for coffee and tea. They work great for camping in the big coffee pot and hold up well to long periods of boiling. And they're re-usable!

If it helps, I right now have 2 (6 oz. each) jars of instant coffee and 5 boxes of Celestial Seasonings tea. I know that's not bread, but it might give you an idea of the storage space.

You can use a 1 cup measure in all of the canisters besides the small. Yes, the 2ND large can hold a 4lb bag of sugar. I haven't used my largest for flour but I can confidently say it will hold most, if not all

Yes. They are perfect for storing food, microwaving, transporting, etc. Bought a huge box of 1000+ use them all the time. When microwaving baked goods, the food does not get rubbery.

I've never tried. I use these canisters for dry goods (raisins, nuts, granola, etc.).

I have never done that, but I don't think it would be a problem. I use mine for food storage such as grains, sugar and flour. They are supposed to be okay for anything. I would think it would stain, but I don't see that as a problem.

they are useful to a point......they are about an 1/8th inch too small and can drop right thru to the drop-well. Also, it is challenging to fill enough coffee into such a small area...... space

I have not. I use them for flour and sugar. If Anchor Hocking has a website, perhaps they can answer your queston.

Mr. Zeigler, I use these small pint-size jars for a great many things in my kitchen cabinets (spices and and in my refrigerator to store small amounts of left overs. I have not stacked these at all because I am fearful the top jar would topple.
