A personal endorsement

Raffi laments:

"I never thought I'd say this, but I need those glass canisters one gets at places like Crate & Barrel."

Allow me to sing the praises of the Oxo POP container:

1. They're plastic, not glass, so they're lighter and they don't break.
2. The pop-up lid really is both easy-to-use and air-tight.
3. They have wide mouths (the width of the container), unlike most glass canisters, so you can actually reach a measuring scoop into them.  (Pouring flour out of a canister into a waiting measuring cup on the counter or over a bowl is a recipe for mess and disaster.)
4. They come in big sizes-- big enough for a big sack of flour.
5. They're not that expensive.

Ever since a terrible moth infestation that still makes us shudder, I've sworn by them.
