The product page fails to load. It makes it hard to select an item and buy it.
Might be just Uncle Jeff dinking around. It loaded for me.
I need something to keep my bread flour in.
Until I signed in the page was not loading for me either. Hope this helps!
The pictures don’t change. they all share the same link.
managed to get in. Use the Shop woot deals link at the top of this page, and go down to the lower picture
Are y’all Breaking Bad or something? Looking to set up a lab with the containers? The DEA might be monitoring this site!
Anyway, I’m clean and apparently not under surveillance. The site was slower than the old Woot shipping but…
TA DA
The forum is the only part of Woot that is working for me right now. Can’t scroll the images of the product, can’t add to cart (sale page just reloads), can’t click on Account to login…even though here in the forum, I am already logged in. Hope these are still available in the morning, because this isn’t what I want to be doing with my 01:30.
Large Food Storage Containers 5.2L / 176oz, Vtopmart 4 Pieces BPA Free Plastic Airtight Food Storage Canisters for Flour, Sugar, Baking Supplies, with 4 Measuring Cups and 24 Labels
From Woot (sometimes) and Mothership (usually available from various sellers @ various prices) I’ve bought several sets of the above 4-piece over time, each container being perfect to keep a 5-lb bag of flour sealed from bugs & moisture. (I buy 3 to 6 5-lb bags of flour at a time.) Been using this size of these containers for that purpose since nearly day one, and the smaller ones for other bread making materials - sugar, dry milk, etc., I even have a small one I keep my baking butter in so it doesn’t attract odors in the fridge. They’re also great for cereal and anything else that needs to be dry - really dry.
FYI: I wash the containers in my dishwasher, not on a slant & not high-temp, but I hand wash the lids - where the seals are.
If you haven’t used these before, you’ll use nothing else (I predict) once you get accustomed to placing and sealing the top. It’s all in the technique!
If you have used these before, then you already know everything I’ve said and don’t need me anyhow! LOL!!
I have not. You’ve given me something to look forward to! Thank you so much my @buy4me!

Um, I failed to mention … about the “measuring cups” that you’ll get … Use a trusted measuring utensil to decide how accurate yours are, both wet and dry. Not all are trustworthy. I use a Sharpie to mark the accurate measurements on each one I plan to use.
If I think of anything else, I’ll try to get you the info, and if you have any queries, don’t hesitate to use them.
Do I just have a finite amount of queries? Shouldn’t I have some query tokens?
Anyway, I ordered the larger containers just now. This Woot set shipped today. It appears I will soon have a plethora of plastic airtight containers.
I have some nice metal measuring cups and spoons. I’ll have to check them now! It just never occurred to me that they might not be trustworthy.
I learned that the Vtopmart ones aren’t so accurate when I made a loaf of bread using them as my “new” & “bread only” cups. Fortunately, it was the water which was off by a tablespoon or so, and I was able to add that to the initial dough ball which was too dry (I always check it - our usually humid weather wreaks havoc on the dough here).
I used my own old glass measuring cups, which I wanted to get away from, to check accuracy. (I have a plethora of them.)
As I said, each container will hold the bag with 5 pounds of flour. I don’t empty the bag.
You have used 1 (one) token. You have (unlimited) remaining.
I think that might help it keep a little fresher. Although when I worked in various commercial kitchens we always had rolling bins for 100# bags of flour & sugar…
Here’s my current sophisticated flour storage system.
Hey! Twinsies, again! I have the same sophisticated storage system (for other items)! Same brand, even! Only thing is, I can tell by this photo that you don’t squeeze the excess air out. Shame!
PS: You’ll find all sorts of uses for your new “sophisticated storage system”.
For example: I find them excellent for keeping chips fresh for a month or two. I buy chips maybe once a year, just don’t eat them. But ya get a craving sometimes.
Egg replacer, cranberries, corn meal mix, cinnamon sticks, anything I open & need to stay fresh. (Saved a ton on Ziploc bags. Still use them, not nearly as many.)
Ha ha Guilty as charged…the little things matter, lol
Sorry, one more thing - crackers (saltines here). Can’t tell you how many I had to pitch out because they got stale. AHA!! NO MORE! Haven’t had a stale cracker since I started storing them in these.
Betcha yours will be involved in AHA! moments, as well! Don’t forget to let me know!
It gets humid here…crackers get stale…yay!!! No more stale crackers!
