Nicer and sturdier than the regular kind; fits 5 lb flour, 5 lb sugar, 3 lb rice, 12 oz coffee
Just what I needed. I also have the less expensive version, Rubbermaid 21-Cup Dry Food Container, and the major differences are:
- The Zylar containers are clear, not cloudy.
- The Zylar containers are a "smidge" taller - approx. 1/8th of an inch or so, which made the fit on my shelves a bit snugger but still doable.
- The Zylar covers not only have see through panels, their seal seems thicker than the regular kind - so they're a bit harder to put on, but seem more secure (I haven't tested them out with water though).
Otherwise, in case it's helpful, here are the suggested uses from the side of the box:
- 21 cup fits 5 lbs flour.
- 16 cup fits 5 lbs sugar.
- 10 cup fits 3 lbs rice.
- 5 cup fits 12 oz coffee.
