Great Cereal Container BPA Free
I wanted a new pop container for my bulk cereal bags. When I did a quick search I saw these new products from OXO and was like YES exactly what I need. What perfect timing too!
quick info to help you out:
Small: 2.5 quarts___ Dimensions: 4" x 10.2" x 8.2"
Medium: 3.4 quarts____________4.3" x 10.2" x 10.5"
Large: 4.5 quarts______________4" x 10" x 12.5"
As you can see the width and length doesnt really change per size but the height changes about 2 inches at a time. So make sure you measure your shelf if you want it to stand upright. I didnt care if mine stood upright. I lay mine down in the shelf. The top is wider than the bottom so if you do lay it down it will be slanted.
I bought 32 oz (2lbs) of a flake cereal and 32 oz (2lbs) of an O cereal (like cheerio's) for the large container. Both those cereals were just barely too much for the container. Maybe like half a bowls worth too much. Not a huge deal. Just eat that extra when you go to use it lol.
The pop seal on this is more like a lever action like an alligator mouth. It opens nice and wide so if you have things that are larger like mini wheats or something they would come out with ease without having to worry them getting stuck at the top. It has a nice silicone O ring sealing the cereal inside. The spout is tapered nicely so that it is mess free. Things dont go flying away while you pour. The lids are also interchangeable between all three sizes.
I have medium sized hands and this is extremely easy to hold.
Dont think just cereal. This works great for oatmeal, rice, flour, and snacks.
The plastic is BPA free.
My only gripe is with the plastic. Its a minor things but it annoys me. Because it's plastic it tends to generate static electricity and the powder you typically find at the bottom of your cereal box clings to the sides of the container. That's only a minor nuisance but it is there.
Some might not like that the container itself is NOT dishwasher safe. Everything is handwash only, with the exception of the silicone ring, which can go in the dishwasher. This isn't a big deal for me but I know a lot of people like the convenience of a dishwasher, so it is something to consider.
Overall I really like this product and absolutely recommend it!
