The Oggi 4-Piece set is a standard-tier organizational solution made from UV-stabilized acrylic. This material is designed to stay clear and resist yellowing for several years, making it a great choice for pantry items on display. The chrome-plated steel locking mechanism provides a strong clamp on the silicone gasket, which is often more robust than plastic latch alternatives. The diameters are standardized to fit neatly into most common kitchen cabinets.
To get the most out of the airtight seal, it is helpful to press down on the center of the lid before engaging the metal clamp. Because acrylic can be sensitive to heat, hand-washing in warm (not hot) water is the best way to prevent micro-cracks, also known as crazing. Using soft sponges will help keep the surface from getting scratched or becoming opaque. These canisters are ideal for dry goods display, but they should be handled with care when moving them from the counter to the shelf.
For a more durable, drop-resistant option, the Rubbermaid Polypropylene container is a sturdy alternative.
