Amazon.com Review

Collect all three of Le Creuset’s canisters and add a splash of color, not to mention convenience, to your kitchen. The smallest canister holds up to 2-1/2 quarts of tea, sugar, coffee, candies, or other treats. A silicone seal on the lid helps keep the contents fresh. Made in France of high-fired stoneware with a non-porous enamel glaze, the canister won’t absorb odors or flavors, resists staining and chipping, and is dishwasher-safe. A choice of colors embellishes the exterior of the jar and lid in a graded fashion, from dark to light. The interior is glazed a neutral tone.

Le Creuset also makes 4-quart and 5-quart canisters, as well as smaller spice jars in the same traditional French country style. Enjoy choosing matching or coordinating colors for your Le Creuset baking pans, pie dishes, French ovens, and more. Each makes a great gift and is covered by a lifetime limited warranty against defects. –Ann Bieri

Amazon.com Product Description

Available in increasing capacities of 2-1/4 quarts, 4 quarts, and 5 quarts, the graduated series of stoneware canisters by Le Creuset features tight-fitting lids that keep coffee, sugar, tea, flour, cookies, and candies fresh and easily accessible. This small 2-1/4-quart stoneware canister, which measures approximately 6-4/5 by 6-4/5 by 9 inches, makes a lovely addition to any kitchen countertop or pantry. For an added touch of charm, it sports the Le Creuset name in raised letters and Le Creuset’s signature concentric rings on the body and lid.

Le Creuset’s line of stoneware comes with a hard-wearing, impermeable finish fired at temperatures as high as 2192 degrees F. With a porosity level of less than 1 percent, it blocks moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking, crazing, and rippling along the interior. Its non-porous construction also resists odors, scratching, and staining for hygienic use and optimal performance. Even more, its high-quality enamel protects against metal marks and other damage, which means it’s safe to use with knives. Best of all, the glaze on the exterior makes the stoneware items fun to mix and match with other coordinating Le Creuset pieces (sold separately), while a neutral-colored glaze on the inside offers an optimal palette for food presentation. And thanks to an unmatched thermal resistance from -65 degrees F to 500 degrees F, Le Creuset stoneware moves effortlessly from the microwave or oven (or under the broiler) to the table for serving to the refrigerator or freezer for storing leftovers. When finished, it cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher.

Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended

This canister will easily hold a 5 pound bag of flour. I purchased this item two years ago and I am very pleased with it. Doesn’t chip easily – no chips yet, and lid fits nicely – rubber gasket lets it go on smoothly, but the gasket does not create an air-tight seal. The medium canister I use for a 5 pound bag of sugar. Color is very pretty. At the time of purchase I wanted a set not made in China. This was the best I could find. And I am very pleased with it. But I would recommend one also look at canisters made by Hartstone Pottery – this is a U.S. company based in the midwest, and their products are produced in the midwest.

I use this canister to store tea bags. I use the large version of this to store a 5 pound bag of flour, which it does so easily, and the medium version to store a 5 pound bag of sugar. The color is a very pretty shade of red. The lid has a rubber gasket which allows the lid to be replaced smoothly – the gasket does not create an air-tight seal. But that’s OK for my needs. I purchased the 3 sizes in 2008. No chips yet, seems very durable. I wanted a product not made in China, preferably made in U.S. These are not made in the U.S., nor France, but not made in China. I would also recommend canisters made by Hartstone Pottery. I was not aware of them back in 2008, but it is a U.S. company based in the midwest, and their products are produced in the midwest.

Highly Recommended

I received this canister two years ago and I highly recommend it. It easily holds a 5 pound bag of sugar, which is what I use if for (this size is too small for a 5 pound bag of flour – the large canister will do that). Lid fits nicely – the rubber gasket allows lid to sit nicely on canister, but it does not create an air-tight seal. And it does not chip easily – no chips yet. Color a nice, cheery shade of red. I had initially wanted to purchase a canister set not made in China. This was what I found in 2008, and I am very happy with it. But I would recommend you also look at Hartstone Pottery canisters – they are made in the U.S. – I was not aware of that company at the time. It looks like an excellent product.
