Anyone tried mini wheats in these containers? My old (Tupperware) container's opening is too tight and only allows 2-3 pieces at a time!

I have put the buns opened on the slots on the lid. Only 2 will fit, it warms them, but not like steamed buns. To me it's not worth the mess with the crumbs and all, but as for the unit itself, we own 2, my husband can't live without them.

Hi, I can not tell you if the containers are safe because I sent them to my daughter. I can tell you she uses them everyday and had her original set for probably 7-10 yrs and wanted to replace them with the same product because they are to good and take up so little space though. I hope she will get the smae amount of use from this set. Based on her experience I would highly recommend these containers.

The largest container's lid closes tightly on our set, as secure as the smaller containers. I just got off my lazy butt and double-checked. So I'd say you have a legitimate complaint. BTW, we love our set. We love how it stacks together so slimly, and would heartily recommend it to others - as long as the lid to the largest container fit as well as our does.

You could keep a small number in this container but a sweater box would work better. The wider and longer the container the better off you are. They don't need to be very tall containers, say 6" -8 ". A 15"W x 24"L x 8" works great! Hope this helps! PS, Don't over water, use potato slices and other veggies that contain alot of water and replace at least once a week! Hope this helps!

No they are too big for small containers. They work well in ice buckets and large bowls of chips, trail mix, etc. Hope that helps.

JM2 answered is right well - I measured the noodle size - 9 1/2 " by 4 1/2" we found that the containers hold everything right well - an keeps well ; so buying in bulk is ideal .!!!!" EXCEPT - however - Brown Sugar - does not keep - if at all ; " all other items do fine - Sugar - Flour - Noodles - an Hard Candy - an Nuts - as well as Cereal Best answer I can give .!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think you could use it for larger cereals, like shredded wheat, or maybe even mini-wheats. But certainly granola, lucky charms, cheerios sized things will definitely go through it. I use mine for parrot food and the pieces are about the size of cheerios, some a little larger. It works great.

I use mine for plates, but I think using them for tupperware lids is a great idea. There are little teeth at the bottom that help the plates from sliding around - they'd help section the lids, too, if you wanted to try and keep some semblance of order between the squares and the rounds, etc.

The Tupperware doesn't keep food as fresh as long and it is way more money. I would definitely recommend progressive over Tupperware. I just bought another big one. I LOVE these!!

Just turn it upside down and put your Tupperware in it..can hold several containers!

Tupperware fit. I have another set that doesn't, but the opening is 1.5 inches across so it is still easy to fill.

I havew never thought about it. I don't really know. I know that putting them in the dishwasher is not a good idea. I do it but it does shrink the lids a wee bit. Sorry I can't answer your question. I do loce my tupperware

Does anyone know of any OTHER place to buy extra containers? CrockPot's website seems to always be out of stock of the extra containers.

I put some pretty runny baby food in there. I was making my own and mixing with breastmilk too. I think squash was the most runny. Nothing I ever put in there leaked. I'd say, if whatever you put in here leaks, then nothing would hold it. It is the best container of its kind! (I say of its kind because obviously reg Tupperware can hold liquid but is too big for lunchbags)

There are three containers altogether: two that are almost the same size and a very small one. The smallest one can be left out, but you still have to have the two that are almost the same size stacked, or the lid will not fit correctly.

All of the other answers are correct however if u have thick lids I wouldn't recommend this product. I have 1-2 in thick lids and it is hard to get them in an out of the slots.
