GREAT...with one little complaint,

This review is from: Calphalon Pantryware 6 Piece Oval Canister Set (Kitchen)
I purchased these canisters for my new kitchen and they were just the quality you would expect from Calphalon. They are durable, stylish, and easy to use because of their unique oval shape. The one thing I dislike about this set is that even the largest canister is not big enough to hold a standard 5-lb bag of flour. The middle size holds a full bag of sugar--3 lbs--but the largest is about three cups too small for a full flour bag. Otherwise, a great set!

This review is from: Calphalon Pantryware 6 Piece Oval Canister Set (Kitchen)
These are attractive and well built, but the suction sprays the contents all over the counter when you open them and then when you close them you have to juggle with the lids to keep the lids from popping back open. I have tried twisting the lids from various angles and varying the speed to no avail. They are hard to close and messy when opening. But they are nice looking and sturdy. A bit small, and there are only three of them however, so depending on how much capacity you need these might be inadequate. I have Tupperware cannisters that are much more practical from a functional perspective, but they are not nearly as decorative to look at, so it depends on your needs...

Classy,

These are great! They seal well, look nice and hold a good bit. I am completely satisfied. Just do not pick them up by the handle or you might be cleaning up a 5lb bag of flour.
