I love how easy it is to open the container easily. I put flour in my container. I'm a hot mess when I'm baking and I appreciated that I could use only one hand to get access to my flour when I needed it. The only thing missing is a leveler inside the container that would make it even better but if I ever decided to put anything else inside besides flour that would make it obsolete, so I understand why it was left out. Love the size too!
