Will this 1 Gallon Jar hold 10 pounds of Flour?

No! 5 pounds of flour is very comfortable .. Maybe 6 or 7 would fit but not 10.

I use these to store grain for home brewing. I can store 5-6 pounds of grain in the container. It holds more than I thought. It also stacks well.

The big one holds 5 lbs flour, the middle one almost 4 lbs of sugar. I haven't decided what to keep in the small jar so can't speak to how much it holds.

there is a little triangle at the bottom of the container indicating #7. This container is literally made to hold flour. I can't imagine it would not be food safe and safe for reuse.

These are lightweight containers. If you put 5 pounds of flour in it, it won't weigh much over five pounds.

For a cylinder, the only dimensions needed are the height and diameter. As for the "5," the only connection that I can think of (and it's a stretch) is that it will hold 5 pounds of flour. At any rate (we have 3 of them), the canisters look great, work great, and seal perfectly.

The containers I bought will hold a 5lb bag of flour if it is absolutely empty. They are great!

Absolutely...we use all different size of behrens for our bulk grains/flours depending on the size of bags we have. We use a lot of 10 gallon buckets with lids and they hold 35 pounds.The 31 gallon ones are perfect for sitting an entire 50 bag in and still have able room.

My wife told me that it appears to be tall enough to hold the 1/2 gallon jars but she does not use that size so she does not know how many it will hold. Sorry

The instructions/description on these say to use 3 per 10 pound container. I use 1 per jar, regardless of size (pint, quart, whatever) and they seem to work fine.

This jar is around 6 1/2 inches tall and will NOT hold 30 cookies. I also have the 1 1/2 gallon jar which would hold 30or more cookies. In fact, I can store an entire box of granola bars from Costco in this jar...very convenient!

Patricia, I just happen to have a 4lb. bag of sugar sitting right next to the jar, and it appears that it would easily accommodate 5 lbs. of volume, so the answer is "yes" it should be able to meet your needs. It is a very nice jar. Good luck. Larry

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.

No - You cannot. They come with a 1 cup measuring cup and the lid must be removed to use the contents. I have about 8 of these and use them to store various types of flour. Hope this helps you.

Flour is typically sold in 5-lb bags. A 5-lb bag of flour will fit in a 6-gallon container. Other products such as sugar will take up more or less room, depending on the substance. You may wish to Google your specifics, as many people have already done the calculations for almost every cooking / baking product available. Good luck!

The 8 quart model will fit a 10lb bag of flour, but will require a little settling to get the lid on. I usually dump most of it in, shake it down and than add the rest. 6 quart model fits 10lbs of sugar perfectly.

It will hold 4 of the typical Mason 1/2 gallon jars. (I went and tested their fit in mine... no way to squeeze 5 in...)
