MepalStorage Box Modula Extra Large 4.5 Liter White

If you are on the hunt for good quality, slimline, airtight, classy-looking and stackable solutions for your pantry or drawers or fridge, then LOOK NO FURTHER. I have tried Sistema (lumpy chunks of plastic and very ugly), Oxo (very nice looking but huge and clumpy, and the mechanism to make the lid airtight is total overkill as well as the white lids going off-colour yellow if exposed to any light), and various other brands (e.g. Masterclass containers and others). THESE ARE THE NUMBER 1 BEST DRY GOODS CONTAINERS ON THE MARKET. They are small enough and slimline enough to truly double the space in the pantry (rather than overflowing with plastic), the square shape is great as you can use all the space on a shelf including right in the corners, they look equally great on the bench top on display (as well as in a pantry or fridge), they are truly 'stackable', the lids are easy to get on and off in a jiffy. You can use the same solution for your drawers (see-through tops), your pantry, your bench-top and your fridge (if you are OCD like me and like a true 'set'), and these little gems even fit into your fridge door as some of the other models are as slim as a carton of milk. By the way if you haven't seen them, the same brand does fantastic dedicated fridge storage for cheese and cold cuts, and they also do the holy grail, a meat defrosting and marinating box which is absolutely brilliant . As I say, look no further than this storage solution (and not I'm not on commission just an ordinary Mum who has a small kitchen and needs good storage and has really overspent on plastic storage stuff in the past to maximise space!!!!!!!).

I have a couple of others of these containers in other sizes. I bought this one individually, and the others in a set. NONE OF THEM ARE AIR TIGHT as is often claimed by the company and some users. I know they upgraded these a few years ago, so was hoping they fixed the issue of it not being air-tight, but sadly this has not happened. I tested the air-tightness by putting water in and shaking it - quite a bit of water leaked out...very annoying for the company to claim these are air tight. This is a real shame and they are a good size and shape and can be stacked so you are using every available inch in your cupboard. I guess if air-tightness doesn't matter too much (ie, probably ok for pasta and pulses, not great for flour or sugar) then they are ok. I was hoping to replace the heavy, glass jars I use (Le Parfait with the rubber seals), but as they are not air tight, I'll stick with them.

Does exactly what it should. Really nice size and shape, lid seals without being difficult to take off and put on. Originally bought to store powders, has been put into use as a temporary bread bin, due to being the perfect size for the loafs our bread maker produces. Keeps bread fresh for days, and the accompanying moisture tray has stopped and dampness from still warm loaves causing any issues. All in all a great container, more will be purchased.

I have been buying Mepal Modula containers over the Lock-Down to re-organise my kitchen. They are strong and easy to use. The lids push & pull on very easily. I have been dish-washing the bases and just wiping the lids with a cleaner.If you put the lids in the dishwasher, they come out fine but water gets stuck under the edges. you CAN prize the lid apart... the white section from the clear section. I have done this a few times and it clicks back together no problem, but its not something I would want to do all the time, as I feel they may eventually break. So have chosen to just wipe the lids.Will be buying more!

Exactly what I was looking for to fit in my kitchen pull out drawers. I don’t know why people are saying the lids are loose, they are a completely different design than other brands and the lids definitely feel sealed when closed! Love them so much , I’m ordering another 4 to fill my drawer. These are the only large rectangle containers I could find after lots of research.
