OXO Good Grips POP Container Set Review
The OXO POP containers are the gold standard for pantry organization. Our review of the 10-piece set.
Quick Verdict: ★ 4.8 The best pantry containers—airtight, stackable, and genuinely make food last longer.
Introduction
The OXO Good Grips POP containers have become synonymous with pantry organization. The 10-piece set includes multiple sizes perfect for grains, pasta, cereal, and snacks. If you have seen tidy pantry videos, you have seen these containers.
First Impressions
The containers arrive with a satisfying weight—the BPA-free plastic feels substantial, not cheap. The clear body lets you see contents at a glance. The POP button lid creates an airtight seal with one press.
The set includes:
- 2.1 qt (2 cups)
- 1.5 qt (6 cups)
- 1.1 qt (4 cups)
- 0.8 qt (3 cups)
- 0.4 qt (1.5 cups)
Performance
The airtight seal is genuinely effective. We stored opened cereal for 3 weeks—you can hear the difference in crunch compared to box storage. Flour stays fresh for months instead of weeks. The stackable design maximizes cabinet space.
The curved internal corners do not catch flour or rice—the cleaning is easy.
