Bon Appetit Big Glass Storage Jar 4.5L with Airtight Red Screw BA205

Store in Bulk, See Everything — Bon Appetit 4.5L Square Glass Jar

Some things you buy in bulk and use every single day. Rice. Flour. Unga. Cereal. Pasta. They deserve a container that matches how important they are to your kitchen — not a torn paper bag shoved into a corner, not a recycled ice cream tub with a lid that never fits properly.

The Bon Appetit 4.5L Square Glass Jar holds a full 2kg bag of rice or flour with room to spare. The square shape sits flush against other jars and containers without wasting shelf space the way round jars do. The red screw lid twists shut airtight, sealing out moisture, weevils, and stale air. And the clear glass walls let you see exactly how much you have left — so you never run out mid-recipe.

This is the largest jar in the Bon Appetit square range. If your kitchen runs on bulk buying, this is the jar that earns its place on the counter.

 Square Shape, Smarter Storage

Round jars leave gaps. On a shelf, in a cabinet, inside a pantry — every round container wastes the space between itself and its neighbour. The square profile of this 4.5L jar eliminates that dead space entirely. Two of these side by side fill a shelf perfectly. Stack your smaller square jars in front and you have a pantry that looks like it was designed by a professional organizer.

The flat sides also make this jar more stable than round alternatives — it won't roll when nudged, and it sits firmly on countertops, fridge tops, or deep pantry shelves where round jars tend to shift.

Built to Handle What Goes Inside

At 4.5 litres, this jar comfortably holds a full 2kg bag of rice, maize flour, or wheat flour; 1.5–2kg of pasta, spaghetti, or noodles; a full box of cereal, muesli, or cornflakes; 2kg of sugar, brown sugar, or jaggery; large quantities of dog food, pet treats, or birdseed; baking supplies in bulk — flour, icing sugar, bread flour.

The wide square mouth means you can reach in with a full-sized measuring cup or scoop without fighting the opening. No more tipping the jar sideways to get the last handful out.

 Glass That Earns Your Trust

Thick, food-grade glass that won't absorb the colour of turmeric, the oil from roasted groundnuts, or the smell of whatever you stored last month. Unlike plastic containers that yellow and scratch over time, this jar stays crystal clear year after year. You wash it, it's clean. No stains, no ghosts of past ingredients.

The BPA-free red screw lid seals with a firm quarter-turn. No complicated clip mechanisms, no rubber gaskets to lose or replace. Screw on, screw off, done.
