Review on 🍪 Bake IT Sugar Storage Container - 10.2 cup/2.4L, Clear/White - with Measuring Cup by Jean Wynen

Oh my god, why have I waited so long to get my pantry in order? The kit is great to start with and then add more details once you get a feel for the different sizes and what they can fit. I use an open bookshelf in my kitchen (apartment life with no pantry or extra storage) and it has helped me combine two shelves full of boxes and half-empty grocery bags into a very clean and negotiable space. I was afraid it would take up too much space but found the opposite. Or rather, what used to fit stacked on two shelves now fits on a shelf and a half. Now I will come back to buy more and get two full organizational shelves. WHAT YOU STORE: Personally, it wasn't clear to me to choose the sizes as the containers are labeled with liters/ounce units of measure, but American dry and liquid goods don't mix. how much space they need for different scales. I did some research based on other reviews and the Klip It website and basically found what I thought would fit. I emptied my bags into the containers, but I could imagine leaving everything in the bags and just throwing them into the containers. It looked messy to me, and the containers have molded sides, which I think would make it difficult to install packaging without wrinkles or creases when the contents are in use. Here's what worked for me: - 3.25 liter reservoir. (biggest in a baking set): Easily holds a 5 lb bag of flour, plus a large bag of egg noodles, but not a box of cereal (they have cereal containers in the other Sistema line) - 81 ounce container: fits a 4 lb Bag of sugar with plenty of extra space, but NOT a 5lb bag of flour. I used this size for my less used flour, which I usually buy in 2 or 4 pound containers (whole wheat, bread, almonds) - 53 ounce containers: This is my size for things in 1 or 2- pound containers (icing sugar). , brown sugar, rice). This is the smallest size and includes scoops, which come in handy when containers are only partially filled. I would like the measuring spoons to be stackable for easy storage outside of containers. 23 ounce containers: I bought a few more of these because I thought they would be good for things I buy in small batches (quinoa, flaxseed, cornmeal, chocolate chips), but I find they work for most things are too small which means I keep them partly empty bags full of stuff in a little drawer in my closet. However, the next size up will just be too big. This can only mean that I need to practice buying these items from bulk containers and knowing exactly how much to buy to fit into these small containers. 21-ounce split container: This is identical to the 23-ounce container, but it's actually two halves. Container with a partition in between. The lid is not tight on the top to prevent the beans from detaching. Right now I'm only using this to store some salads (soynuts and sunflower seeds) but not sure what I'll be using it for in the future. DIMENSIONS: Regarding the sizes: they are all the same width. and depth (5.2" x 2.36") for easy stacking. You can find the exact height for each of them on the Sistem website (http://sistemaplastics.com/products/klipit-bakery). AIR RESISTANCE: They are pretty good with easy to use clips on each side for holding. covers. There is a lip on the inside that traps air quite a bit, but I can't comment on the complete seal. We don't have any bugs, which seems like a real challenge. They seem to keep everything nice and fresh. We live in the mountains where it's dry in winter and humid in summer, so I guess I'll have to wait until autumn to comment on the freshness after a hot and humid summer. COMPARISON TO OTHER CONTAINER BRANDS: I'm the kind of person who researched everything to the point of absurdity and chose these products based on reviews here on Revain as well as reviews in various magazines and blogs. In general they had great reviews when it came to size and stackability. If you really want the perfect 5 pound bag flour dispenser, most people recommend the red lid progressive flour jar with leveler. They also have good reviews for the brown sugar dispenser, which includes a terracotta disc to keep the sugar soft. However, I just bought a terracotta disc separately to put my brown sugar in - I don't need a special vessel for that. I mostly didn't use the Progressives line because their other container sizes had negative reviews about loose lids and being too small. I also looked at professional quality square storage containers (like Cambro polycarbonate) but found them to be much more expensive, especially since the lids have to be purchased separately. There are other polycarbonate containers that are much cheaper but have been criticized for their lids breaking easily and concerns about unpleasant fumes/chemical aftertastes. If I had the money I might go with the Cambro series, but the Sistema system is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone looking to declutter their pantry. this. I have yet to change or wash the containers to see if they live up to their non-flaking promise, but I did the research again while making my choice.
