Progressive InternationalFlour Keeper, 3.8 qt, White/red/clear

I'm sure we all know that keeping brown sugar in the original bag, no matter how hard you try to get all of the air out of the bag, you will end up with a block of hard brown sugar that is very difficult to use. I have tried putting the sugar into an airtight container with a moist paper towel under the cover and sealed in. This method quickly ends up with a dry paper towel and rock hard sugar. When I saw this brown sugar keeper, I decided to try it.The container holds a full 2 lb. bag of brown sugar, and is air tight. I soaked the terra cotta disk for 20 minutes, put it back in the holder at the top of the lid, and crossed my fingers. One month later, my brown sugar is a fresh and soft as it was when I first opened the bag. As yet, I haven't soaked the disk again, but I am assuming it would have to be soaked every 2-3 months as the moisture is absorbed by the sugar. This works so much better than the moist paper towel method I was using and is so much easier. I just need to remember to soak the disk every 3 months or so.So far, I am loving this brown sugar keeper and would recommend it. I hope this review was helpful for you.

I love this flour keeper. I purchased several of these containers: two this size for flour and corn meal; others in the appropriate sizes for sugar, brown sugar, powdered sugar, baking powder/soda, cocoa powder, etc., and love them all.- The lids are truly air tight. I bought these because we had a major infestation of pantry moths and had to throw out most of our dry goods (!!!), and we needed to convert to air tight containers to prevent further problems. While we have had some problems with OTHER products/containers, we have never once had pantry moths (or weevils for that matter) in our baking goods that we store in these containers.- I really appreciate that these are rectangular - they fit very neatly next to each other on a square shelf and stack pretty well too.- The built-in leveler is so handy; much quicker/easier to scoop and level with one hand vs holding the flat side of the knife, etc.- I love the quick and easy but very effective locking mechanism - again a one-handed maneuver to close this baby up.- The grip strips on the one side of the container make it pretty easy to grab this off of the shelf even when it's full (and even though I'm grabbing it from overhead since I store my baking stuff above my double wall ovens).- Freshness: This holds a standard bag of flour. I've started baking more but before, it took for-e-ver to get through a whole bag of flour and I never had a problem with freshness storing in this container.My wife bought a breadmaker a few months ago and about a hundred different kinds of flour; once she starts using it and opening all those bags, I envision many of these containers in our cabinet. Totally worth the $$ to prevent tossing out bag after bag of flour due to weevils, or having another pantry moth invasion (*shudder* - what an absolute nightmare).I am not a plastic person at all and all of our other storage containers are glass, so I was hesitant to purchase these. But they are stellar and I will be getting more as we expand more into breadmaking and baking.Overall, you can't go wrong with these and I highly recommend them.

We have twins and go through formula pretty fast. Decided to try this container and absolutely love it it’s sturdy and holds 2-3 cans easily depending on size. We just use the original scoopers to make sure it’s the right amount.

Arrived as pictured, only thing was the terracotta disc was slightly broken but nothing that would make it unusable. Easy to clean and has been working great since arriving.

This container is awesome and perfect size. Comes with the terracotta disk, which is reusable. Great purchase, would recommend.

I have used the slice of bread process and it works. I have use the break-rocks-into-pieces-put-in-microwave process and that works too.In my opinion, this is easier and more sanitary. If I forget to check the disk for a month, no harm done.If I forgot the bread, it all would end up in the trash.When first soaking the disk, there are tiny bubbles and a hissing sound (low frequency) - the disk is getting saturated with water. Let it soak 15 to 20 minutes.The lid seems ok. Not particularly impressive.We live in the high desert and brown sugar turns into a brick quickly.This system works as intended with minimal effort.You can get a terracotta bear, disk, etc and do the same with plain containers. I just like that this has a place to hold the disc so it is not in direct contact with the sugar. (That seems to turn brown sugar white, but you can get a plastic dipping container and place a terracotta piece on it)Be gentle taking the disc out. It is snuggly affixed to the lid. Start with one red prong to bend inward and release the disc gently.Pulling it or forcing it out may just break the disc and then, it is just a container.I was going to buy a couple of terracotta pieces and use my old container, but at the time, they were the same price as what I paid for this setup. About $14Glad I gave it a try.Would I buy it again? - not likely. Once is enough. When the container cracks or disc breaks, I'll do the method of any container with a terracotta piece.But for now, it works.BTW, the sugar is soft and I had it for over a year.

Pasé mi azúcar morena al contenedor y cuando la usé. Estaba toda pegada, tuve que raspar con una cuchara para usarla.

Achei bonito, e bem hermético.

Excelente material y funcional.

Great for conserving space and keeping an organized pantry

Amazing product. Wife loved it!
