This 8-piece set features a twist-locking mechanism that provides a firm seal for dry pantry goods. The modular stacking geometry is particularly helpful for standard 12-inch depth cabinets, allowing you to use the full height of your shelving efficiently. The silicone gaskets are of high quality and designed to maintain their elasticity over time. The high-clarity SAN plastic makes it very easy to identify exactly which grains or snacks are stored in each unit.
Because the twist-knob lid has internal plastic gears, it is most reliable when kept clean and dry. Trapped moisture inside the lid mechanism should be avoided, so thorough air-drying after hand-washing is a helpful step. The containers are best used for standard pantry items; dense bulk storage, like heavy salts, may put pressure on the base plate. To avoid making the plastic brittle, it is best to avoid abrasive cleaners and high-heat dishwasher settings, which can cause the material to cloud over time.
If you find that a flip-top lid better suits your workflow, you may want to look at the Rubbermaid modular set as an alternative.
