What a joke!! Take my word for it
I would challenge the above reviewers to perform the same test as I and I bet that most if not all of them will have the same problem as me. I have gone through two brand new sets to find out that NONE of the containers are water tight let alone air tight. When I brought them home to clean them in the sink I filled each one up with water and when clasped they ALL leaked, and I am not talking about a drip but a full on stream of water. The gasket was on properly and clean, the failure is in the cheap China made casting as can be seen by the naked eye. Keep shopping!!!!!
Hue
These ceramic canisters have rubber seals that make for airtight storage of sugar, flour, etc. The handles and the stainless steel spoons are very handy features. One note about the color, though - it's not a true red, it has a faint tinge of orange to it. My kitchen has the Kitchenaid shade of red, and these don't exactly match but when not displayed directly next to the true red items, you can't really notice the difference. The sizes are 4 3/4" square base by 5 1/4, 6, 7, and 8" high.
Love them
I didn't buy them online but I bought this set new at a discount store. My set is white and I love them! They were a little smaller than I anticipated, however, they're the perfect sizes for me! The handles are very convenient for holding them while measuring out sugar and flour with wet hands. They're also stylish enough to leave out on the counter.
Love these ....
I am very happy with my purchase. Not only do they look good, but I'm also impressed with the quality.
