Lock & Lock containers come in many different shapes and sizes. These storage containers are airtight and protect against leaks. I use them for dry good storage. They are excellent for beans, rice, flour, and also for soups for lunches.

There is nothing worse than taking soup for lunch and when you sit down to enjoy it you find that it has spilled all over your bag. This will not occur with these containers. The locking mechanism is so secure it is difficult to tell whether the container is open or closed. A seal this strong allows the container to tip over or lay on its side without any leakage. If you enjoy taking soup for lunch this container will allow you to eat every last drop.

The products stack wonderfully in the pantry. If you like efficiency, and hate wasted space in the pantry or refrigerator, then that is another reason to purchase these. These containers are organizing wonders. Cheese, dried fruit, nuts, chocolate etc stays fresh for a long time. It keeps bugs out of the dry goods like flour, sugar, and pasta. I can't get enough of them and have thrown out my other containers.

The best containers available are the ones that are rectangular. They are convenient to stack for easy organizing and they are clear so you can see their contents. If you start using these, you will not stop. They are high quality items that can store many things such as cereals and soups.

You can put lock & lock containers in the dishwasher, bottom rack with the hot setting and they are fine. Some even use the large ones to separate the socks and other inner ware in the drawer. They are inexpensive, durable, stackable, see through and the best part is that the opening mechanism means easy opening and no spillage when opening. It is the main advantage when you have storage for soups to cereals.

One of the best reasons to own this item is their easy use and easy clean. For those suffering from insect problems, smaller "sugar ants" cannot enter due to the leak proof seal. No matter what they are doing in the kitchen, these storage containers will be helpful. Even better, every time they put something into the container, they will remember your thoughtfulness in giving gifts that are useful.
