What makes these different from Rubbermaid or other food storage containers - Couldn't they be used to store bread dough just as easily?

I think any fairly air tight container would work. One nice thing about these is the height allows me to mix and store in the same container. If it was much smaller, this wouldn't work and I'd have to dirty up two things to make dough.

The container has plenty of room to mix and allow to rise in one container. The other containers are not large enough to mix and when you seal the top all my dough rose well. The price is for two so economical.

I'm not sure about Rubbermaid. This duck brand product stays put on shelves. It has a smooth surface topside and the bottom has a slightly bumpy rubbery feel. That's what helps it stay put, but you can still move it around if you want to rearrange things. The top side is still nice and smooth.

The bottom of the bread box is made of stainless steel, same as rest of box. There is a rubberized band that goes around the entire box at each that slightly raises the box off the counter -- enough to slide several pieces of paper under the box at one time. This likely prevents moisture from affecting the stainless steel. I've had the bread box for several months now without any problems -- I like it -- lightweight, large and durable. Works for me.

I am using them for decoration but could see the utility for food. Just don't put anything in them for too long. Dog biscuits, maybe something like that. But yes, they are not perfectly air tight. Also if one does decide to put in the dishwasher remove the removable seal and wash that by hand. The lids might benefit from hand washing too. I originally saw these in a coffee shop on the display counter. They had non perishables in them. But if you are not storing anything that absolutely needs freshness or for too long, the jars do the trick. For displaying curiosities and terrariums they are perfect!

These are typical condiment take out containers. In terms of strength, they are less sturdy/thick than Glad plastic containers. I have used these for jelly and cooled soup, though I won't them for soup again because they weren't rigid enough.

while I believe it's food-safe, there is no lid or top, so I'm thinking sourdough starter needs an airtight cover and I wouldn't use this item for that purpose

The lid is used for baking to keep the steam in to allow the bread to rise before the crust develops. It slides apart from the pan so you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

I would not store unwrapped bread. I believe you should wrap in plastic wrap or put in ziplock bag.

I had the same concerns as you, but thankfully this bread box is very good quality. It's very sturdy and well made. There is no part of it that is flimsy in any way, the lid fits perfectly and it's quite large capacity. You'd love this bread box it's great!

I have dried yeast in it, and I'm very happy. I think there would be wasted space with Ritz crackers and the stack might not stay neat. Plus it might not hold a full box. Why not just get one of the other Lock&Lock and toss them in? I am a big fan of the assorted rectangular ones which come in a huge range of sizes.

I don't know. But it is like powered milk which if u keep in an airtight container it should keep for a long time. I think it is a great product. I have used it several times and there is a difference in my bread. I love it.Maybe try emailing the company. NoInfo on the can says about storage. Would like to know myself.

I'm not sure I would use them for flour, etc, unless it was just storage for unopened bags. They are not air tight and don't really latch. But, that said, I use them for dog food that I have poured into the bins from the bag (so no longer in a bag). I have been using them about 3 months and have not had any issues with bugs or other critters in the dog food. There was only one instance when our puppy was able to get into one and that was because the scoop we use was preventing the lid from closing all the way.

As there are many different flours, most all need to be in airtight container's. These tin containers are painted so I would store items in a Ziploc bag then place in container. They look good and are very sturdy.

They are not fancy so if you are looking to store something for yourself they would be fine. If you are looking to store and sell, these are probably not the containers for that. Hope this helps.

In my opinion, no. The container may stand up for a while but I would not chance it. These are great and are certainly sturdy enough for most cakes or breads but you would be definitely taking a chance.

I have only put wrapped bread inside. I doubt that it would be much different than leaving unwrapped bread out in the open.

If fully screwed onto the jar, they are as airtight. They are not, of course, as airtight as something that is canned using rings/lids but for basic storage of dry goods or wet goods in the refrigerator they'll keep food fresh for quite a while. We use them as lids for things such as salsa and jam once opened and placed in the refrigerator. The salsa/jam lasts at least a week without any issue. Dry goods will store much longer, obviously.
