Another one which I would rate 4.5 if I could. It is a terrific value, and very good for most purposes. I got it primarily to add flour as needed when I am kneading dough and balancing, and for that it works fine. I looked over the sets available and decided that it would be nice to have one for powdered sugar, and for cocoa, and for cinnamon… and, my daughter is a chef. Who knows what she will do with the others.That said you could easily pay as much for 1 or 2 shakers, so it really is a very good value. My one and only complaint is that the mesh is not fine enough for some things. I would wind up with way too much cinnamon in my coffee, and even for powdered sugar I want a finer mesh. My daughter has been using strainer baskets which also work well but, for the most part have the same size mesh as these little containers, so when I went to dust my loaves with flour for their final rise, I got a good deal more than I had intended. I do think it will be more controllable with these, but would prefer a finer mesh.I will add that I like that they come with lids so that I do not need to empty each whem I am done and refill the next time I want to use them, but those lids are not air tight. They were never represented as such and so I would not hold it against the seller, but since I live with 90% humidity, these will need to be stored in a ziplock or another container if I am going to leave them filled. That is fine. They are small and so it is easily done.—–On a completely separate note, I work with hot glass and these are very good for dispersing frit. The mesh is a little large for enamels or mica, but for glass artists, this is a good, inexpensive tool, and it is steel so it is safe to leave on your bench or have near the torch. (If my daughter does not find some other powdered spice she wants these for, the other 2 or 3 will quickly disappear into my glass studio) and I have little doubt it is what I had in mind when I ordered a set of 6.
