Will this jar hold a 5lb bag of flour or sugar?

I purchased the 4.3 quart (135 1/4 ounce) and it is certainly big enough to hold a 5 lb bag of flour. It is really quite large... I use it in the refrigerator to keep my oil for deep frying clean and chilled. I have a deep fryer that takes two full bottles of vegetable oil and storing that in this container only fills it up to about halfway. I just can't imagine that you couldn't get the flour in there.

No, you wouldn't be able to get a whole bag of flour in one of these. Maybe half of the bag would fit. Same thing with sugar.

the big one holds 5 lbs of flour, maybe 3 pounds of sugar for the middle one and the little one about a pound and a half except I use the littlest one to hold tea bags and I fit about 25-20 in it - good luck - it is a very nice set.

Thanks for your inquiry. Measures Appox. 8"H without lid x 11 1/2"H with lid x 7"W from top x 6"W from bottom. It holds about 3-4 pounds of sugar or flour.

Sorry, Joyce, I haven't used it for flour, etc., just cookies. Cookies are a biggie here with husband, son-in-law grandies, etc., so a cookie jar was what I needed! The jar is huge, & a 5lb bag of flour would fit, BUT, I wouldn't use it for my flour. There is no seal and I've noticed whatever cookies might be left would get soft, so probably would need a seal. Incidently, I keep my flour in fridge which is best place to keep it.Good cooking!

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!

Hi Barbara, I actually bought this awesome canister (in red) to put kitchen vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, etc in for our composters. It looks great on the counter and I would guess that it would hold about a 5 pound bag of flour,perhaps a bit less.It really is pretty as our kitchen has a lot of red accents. I hope this helps you decide whether to buy it or not ! Regards, Adrienne Champagne.

I pour the 5lb bag of flour into mine. Looking at my container i believe you can.

According to my information, 5 pounds of all-purpose flour is just over 18 cups so I guess this container comes up a bit short. I have to say, though, it's one of the best containers I have used. It seals well. It will keep your flour dry and free from "varmints". I use the container for a 1 pound box of soda crackers. It is perfect for 4 of those "sleeves" that come in the box. Suggestion: make some biscuits and then store the remaining flour in one of these Lock & Lock's. It's a great container.

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

No. It has a pretty narrow mouth. You would have to tip the jar to get flour near enough to get a measuring cup in.

If you can give me the dimensions of a 10 lb bag of flour I'll measure and let you know. I love this container, it's very large. I keep dog food in it.

Yes a whole 5 pound bag of flour fits in this container. I put a piece of scotch tape on the outside of the container, and using a sharpie, write what is inside. The tape is easily removed if you want to change what the content of the container is.

I bought several of the 3.25 for different types of flour. a 5 pound bag will fill it up, and with a little (a cup or so) left over. so I don't fill it until I bake some bread and completely empty it.

So sorry for the late response...... the largest canister easily holds a 5 lb. bag of flour, with room to spare. The second largest easily holds a 4 lb. bag of sugar, also with room to spare. I absolutely love this set.

Jean, I don't use mine this way but I would say that the largest would hold 2/12# flour, packed down and the next size would hold most of the sugar. I sure would try them as they are a tremendous set and it sounds like you would keep refilling them anyway.
