Airtight, large bags flour,sugar, batch of cookies
These are perfect for 5 lb bags of four and sugar, large container of oatmeal. I also use them for storing a “standard” batch of 3 or 4 dozen cookies. They are airtight but not too difficult to open. If you are storing something heavy, like 5 lbs of flour, you can’t lift them via the lid “wings” that snap down or you could accidentally unsnap that part of the lid and end up with flour everywhere. But as long as you grab the container and not lift by the lid, they are awesome. The lid does have to be perfectly seated before you snap them shut and it’s a tight fit to push down the wings so someone with arthritis may find that a bit challenging versus a regular lid but I really like the lock down lid feature. Obviously these are big and they do not nest so when not is use they do take a lot of room to store. They did have an odor when arrived but hand washing and they were fine. The included measuring cups are worthless for actually measuring anything because the markings can’t be read but work ok for a quick scoop.
