OXO Pop Storage Container Set Review

As a recipe tester and developer, I have a lot of ingredients in my pantry, but not a lot of room to store them. I need all the basics — all-purpose flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar — as well as ingredients like semolina flour, masa harina, and turbinado sugar. All of these staples would be impossible to store efficiently if it weren’t for my OXO containers. Instead of cramming leaking bags of flour next to open boxes of salt, I can stow my dry goods in such a way that makes it easy to see what I have, which in turn makes me a less wasteful cook. 

OXO Steel Pop Containers, Set of 12 

OXO’s Pop collection is available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Many years ago, I purchased the brand’s 3-pack of round containers and updated my supply with additional vessels as needed. Speaking from experience, this isn’t the most cost-effective route to take. Instead, it would have made more sense to buy a larger set that costs more up front, but adds up to less overall.

While I still have and use my original storage containers, OXO just launched a more modular square collection with sleek stainless steel tops. Learning from my mistakes, I got the largest bundle available, which includes 12 containers in various sizes, matching lids, one 1/2-cup scoop, and 36 removable labels. After washing the set, I filled each container with oats, flaky sea salt, and the like, before popping on the lids, pressing the center button to engage their airtight seal, and stacking them all in my pantry. They look great and do a wonderful job of keeping my ingredients organized, fresh, and free from dust and nosy critters. If you prefer a smaller set, OXO also sells its new stainless steel-topped Pop containers individually or as a 4- or 6-pack. 

OXO Steel Pop 2.8-Quart Container 

I’m not alone in my adoration of these containers. One happy Amazon shopper wrote that they “not only cleared up the clutter” in their pantry, but “also made more room for other items.” They went on to add that they “seal nicely, can hold a variety of things, and are easy to clean.” A second reviewer said they’re “pricey but worth it,” calling them a “highly functional” addition to their pantry. And a third dubbed them “perfect in every way.”  

Take it from me, someone whose life revolves around food, a clean and organized pantry is a crucial first step to becoming a better cook. Whether you buy OXO’s 12-piece set or an individual container, you can sleep soundly knowing that you’ve set yourself up for success in the kitchen. It’s even on sale for a limited time at Amazon.
