Wirecutter senior employees author Kaitlyn Wells bought this set in response to discovering grain weevils and ants in her pantry. She finds the seal significantly better than one other model she bought beforehand, and is pleased with how critter-free her cupboards have been since. She makes use of her giant and medium Rubbermaid containers for flour, sugar, cereal, rice, and pasta, however finds there’s restricted use for the tiny containers “which might be barely large enough for holding eight nuts” (although that’s precisely what she makes use of them for). She additionally shops lemon juice within the tiny containers, which she says by no means leak, even once they’re knocked over within the fridge. She’s observed that generally dry substances like sugar persist with the silicone lining of the lid and make a multitude when closing the containers, which is “a small annoyance.”
