Full Review:

Keeping food supplies at home is great until you’ve discovered some ants raiding your sugar or some bugs nesting in your flour jars. It’s the reason why the best food storage containers are part of your kitchen necessities. They don’t just keep the bugs away, but they also make sure your food items are safe and properly organized. If those things are still part of your daily kitchen headache, our SolidSmack Household Appliance and Tool Research Team gives you the best food storage container set of 2021: the OXO POPs!

The OXO POP set comes with a total of 5 containers: two 0.4-quart containers, two 4.4-quart containers, and one 1.1-quart container. These containers are enough to allow you to store 1 to 5 pounds of baking ingredients such as sugar, flour, or cereals.

The walls of the container are thick plastic material, which gives them heft. On the other hand, the lids feature an unwavering sealing technology. Inspired by the same sealing capabilities of refrigerators, OXO has integrated a patented web mechanism into the OXO lids. This design helps the silicone create an airtight sealing. It occurs by simply pressing the button that will allow the gasket to expand or contract. Here, the thin center fin of the silicone gasket is pushed against the container interior walls, resulting in perfect sealing. Disengaging the seal, nevertheless, is just as easy as activating it. With just another press, the lids quickly unlock.

Our reviewers also found the designs of the top of the lids very ergonomic. With the modular design of the covers and the storage body, stacking the containers is possible. It can help you save space on your kitchen counter or in your cabinets. And with the transparent body of the containers and their clean white lids, they can blend with the design of any kitchen. 

Another plus in this OXO POP set is the inclusion of 3 accessories in the package. It includes the two ½-cup scoops and one OXO Brown Sugar Saver. The latter is one of our top favorites as it was able to keep sugar soft during our 3-day observation test. We also love the fact that the accessories can attach neatly to the underside of POP lids. And if you want extra space, you can remove the scoops to fill the jars up to their max capacity.
