will the large one hold 5lb flour and the next size 5lb sugar?

not quite - and I find that not having a knob you need two hands to open the cannisters

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.

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

Large canister would hold a 5 pound bag of flour, next size holds about a 3pound bag of sugar, next one holds about 30 tea bags, and the smallest holds about 50 packs of sugar sweetner

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.

The bigger one (with a square top) I think that can hold 4 to 5 pounds of sugar, in sequence the 2nd can hold 2 1/2 pounds of flour, I would put brown sugar in the tall/rectangular one. There's 2 small square ones that you can put baking soda. The confection fits with the others containers.I think that it might suits your needs!Only be careful with the lids. I suggest to never lift the container holding the lid lid. Even closed it opened, almost broke with me and made a mess with flour. At least the acrylic is very resistant and didn't shattered!Good Luck!

Large canister is 8" tall without lid. I buy 2lb bags of flour. This should hold 4lbs. with no problem. Middle canister is about 71/2 " tall w/o lid. I don't use 5 lbs. of sugar so I put in the small bag. The small canister is about 6" tall w/o lid. I use for bag tea. The lids are approx. 2 1/2 - 3" tall. These canisters are the perfect size for my counter and really brighten up my kitchen....... I hope this helps.

For a cylinder, the only dimensions needed are the height and diameter. As for the "5," the only connection that I can think of (and it's a stretch) is that it will hold 5 pounds of flour. At any rate (we have 3 of them), the canisters look great, work great, and seal perfectly.

So sorry for the late response...... the largest canister easily holds a 5 lb. bag of flour, with room to spare. The second largest easily holds a 4 lb. bag of sugar, also with room to spare. I absolutely love this set.

They are too fragile to store stuff you use often. But I would say no to the 5lb of sugar.

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.

I'm not exactly sure because there are no markings on the tins. The largest one could hold a 10# bag of sugar though. The red one is quite a bit smaller than the large one. May hold a 5# bag of sugar. i don't know if this helps or not. You can't use them as canisters for sugar, flour, tea ext since they have no seal on them. They are not air tight containers. They are attractive though.

The tall one holds an entire lb. of pasta, and there is room left. The next size holds about 2-3 lbs. of sugar. The next size holds about 2 lbs. of flour. I only have some sugar in the small one. I love this set. This spring I had ants and they could not get in there!

The big one holds 5 lbs flour, the middle one almost 4 lbs of sugar. I haven't decided what to keep in the small jar so can't speak to how much it holds.

I pour the 5lb bag of flour into mine. Looking at my container i believe you can.

They are alot smaller then I thought, but I love them. The big one will hold 75% of a 5lb bag, maybe a little bit more. They are really pretty & add alot to my kitchen.

Good Morning, Thank you for contacting Hold N Storage!! I believe that this should be able to hold a full bag of flour as it's a 15.9 Cup container. Shall you have any further questions feel free to contact us!! Have A Wonderful Weekend!!

Having just purchased these myself a standard bag of flour fits into the size labeled as 3.25 ( the other sizes are in ounces which doesn't really help any one!) 3.25 L is 13.7 cups and holds the full bag although I couldn't quite fit in the little measuring cup that comes with, when I had just put in a whole new bag. The 5lb bag of sugar has less volume and can fit into a smaller container ( 2.4L 10.2 cups). Hope that helps. I have been very pleased with my purchase.
