What makes these different from Rubbermaid or other food storage containers - Couldn't they be used to store bread dough just as easily?

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

The container has plenty of room to mix and allow to rise in one container. The other containers are not large enough to mix and when you seal the top all my dough rose well. The price is for two so economical.

I bought three of these years ago to store fruit that I had dehydrated. They are attractive and with the wide mouth, it's easy to access the contents. In my mind, it all depends on whether you need them to be reasonably airtight. These jars are not. By the way, there is a small circular gasket in the lid that keeps it tight and prevents rattling (they don't screw on). That gasket came off on one of my three jars so it really is not usable anymore. Again, if it needs to be airtight, it is not. I hope this helps.

I like to use the rubbermaid rolls of shelf liner to use them to keep in place in the bottom of small boxes. I don't lay them flat though, I will bunch it up to secure where needed. also on top - I keep the top of the actual dessert contained under the rim so i can place a piece of cardboard on top as well. So far, I have been able to do this in a cooler with frozen gel ice packs on the side.

It might - I was keeping wrapped bread in there and it was molding very quickly. Now I keep just crackers and cookies in there - not my best purchase but probably because I didn't match it to my needs.

there is a rubber seal that goes around each lid to keep your item fresh. they seem to make a nice seal and would work great for like storing flour and sugar and whatever else you may decide to put in them.

The lid is used for baking to keep the steam in to allow the bread to rise before the crust develops. It slides apart from the pan so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

I have never tried it with bread dough but if you put a sheet of plastic wrap on each side, I don't know why not! - probably would work better with the larger one.

I would not store unwrapped bread. I believe you should wrap in plastic wrap or put in ziplock bag.

I have only put wrapped bread inside. I doubt that it would be much different than leaving unwrapped bread out in the open.

The lid does not fit tightly no. There is no rubber gauging, or anything else that would make it at all airtight. I use mine to store candies on my desk, and while it would work just fine for cookies you expected to be consumed in a day or two, I wouldn't use it for anything beyond display purposes. (Though, throwing a piece of yeasted bread in there with your cookies will help un-stale cookies, if you don't already know that trick.)

Hi Barbara,We recently moved so I cannot find the container. However while we had it we liked it. As I recall it was big enough for a standard loaf, but not wide enough for some of the artisan breads.

In my opinion, no. The container may stand up for a while but I would not chance it. These are great and are certainly sturdy enough for most cakes or breads but you would be definitely taking a chance.

They're pretty sturdy. A cookie sheet would be a good idea though. By the way, the 2" ones really aren't what I'd recommend for baking any thing that will rise a lot and run over-like banana breads. firmer bread loaves would likely be fine. Hope this helps.

As there are many different flours, most all need to be in airtight container's. These tin containers are painted so I would store items in a Ziploc bag then place in container. They look good and are very sturdy.

My experience has been for short term storage it would be okay, but I don't believe the bags are completely airtight. I have had crackers and other things go stale when stored for long periods of time which tells me some moisture migrates through the plastic.

I would not rate it like a ziploc or other kitchen container for food. Would work for chips, bread, etc when camping for bugs and such.

Yes. They are perfect for storing food, microwaving, transporting, etc. Bought a huge box of 1000+ use them all the time. When microwaving baked goods, the food does not get rubbery.
