I’ve never owned a canister for food like this one. It’s very durable and high quality. I’m impressed. I live the fact that it’s easy to open and close, as I have dexterity issues. Also, I have a tall narrow one so I can store it easily in my pantry without taking up a lot of room. I use it for pasta. I’m in love with it. It’s really an attractive way to store food. Easy to see and find in my mess. It’s also really easy to wash out.
