If you're searching online specifically for large flour canisters then the next question that needs to be answered would be how big is large? Size means different things to different people.

If you are considering buying a container ask yourself what size container do you need for 5 lbs of flour (2.2kg ) or 22 lbs (10kg) or whatever the weight might be.

I buy 1 kg gluten-free flour which is small for us, and as I use a lot of it (for my son's needs) I need a container to hold double that. Our normal flour comes in 1.5 kg (3.3 lbs) packets which I generally purchase two of at a time. So the first criterion is to know how much you need to store.

Here are some examples with the corresponding capacities given as a guide.
