[Electronics-Talk] not necessarily electronic, but...

[Pamela Dominguez]

There should be some kind of a container made to hold the bags of sugar and 
flour, because they usually come in canister sets.  I was looking recently, 
and I found so many round ones that I didn't want.  Round jar containers 
waste space.  That's like all the tupperware that's out now.  Most of that 
is round, and it doesn't make sense.  The tupperware canister set was always 
round, that's why I have never bought that when I could have.  Pam.

You might want to consider a canister set made of ceramic or glass.  I've 
seen them styled like mason jars with attached and separate lids with 
locking mechanisms to tightly seal the rubber gasket.  I've also seen 
various types of metal sets with glass lids and a rubber seal.  However, I 
do not think that I've seen one large enough to hold 5 pounds.  Maybe you 
will need to use 2 containers in which to divide the 5 pound into.

Check out Bed, Bath & Beyond.  If you have a store near you, a visit might 
help.  I think you can order online from them and have the item shipped to 
the store to possibly limit the shipping charges.  You might want to also 
check out high end or commercial kitchen/cooking suppliers.  Williams Sonoma 
and their sister stores have both physical stores as well as online.  Visit

Easy site to navigate with JAWS 17.  I searched for canister and came up 
with 150 results.  I also searched on terms like remote, Bluetooth, wireless 
and iPhone and came up with some interesting results.

Also check out the web Restaurant Supply Store at

The page is not fully accessible, but they do have a 24 hour customer 
service line.

HTH,

Hello,

Since NFB doesn’t yet have a low-tech products listserv, thought I’d start 
here. First, does anyone still make a Sharp talking calculator—I loved the 
male voice, and it was really a quality piece of equipment; or, might it be 
available gently-used?

Now for the extremely-low-tech question: After having my inexpensive plastic 
set of canisters for 20 years, and finding that it leaves a bit of an 
off-smell to flour, I’ve decided it’s time to part with what I have, perhaps 
in favor of some kind of airtight metal canister set. My prerequisites: the 
biggest should comfortably hold a 5-pound bag of flour; the middle-sized, a 
5-pound bag of sugar; and the next, a 100-count box of tea. I’d prefer 
airtight, and not cheap-quality, something I can either hide in the cupboard 
or stack on the kitchen counter. Wish I’d thought to ask about the metal 
canisters and taken down some info when I saw them at a rehab center. Any 
suggestions about these two items, greatly appreciated, since I literally 
spent 2 hour plus on Amazon without success. Thanks!
