The POP system: how it works
The name POP describes the lid mechanism: you press the central button and the lid automatically lifts, releasing the airtight seal. A second press closes it again. No screws, no side clips, no chasing after the lid — just one finger.
This practical detail makes a difference in the kitchen when your hands are full or you're pouring an ingredient with the other hand. It's the kind of solution that, once tried by anyone who regularly organises their pantry, becomes difficult to give up.
Shapes and available capacities
The Good Grips POP range is divided into three shape families:
- Large square containers: Mini 1 Lt (€14.00, 16.5×16.5×7.9 cm), Low 2.6 Lt (€19.50, 16×16×16 cm), Medium 4.2 Lt (€21.50, 16×16×24 cm). Suitable for flour, sugar, short pasta, cereals, biscuits.
- Small square containers: Mini 0.4 Lt (€11.00), Low 1 Lt (€14.50, 10.8×10.8×15.9 cm), Tall 2.1 Lt (€17.50, 10.8×10.8×32 cm). Perfect for spices, dried fruit, coffee, long pasta, legumes.
- Rectangular containers: Mini 0.6 Lt (€12.50, 16.5×10.8×7.9 cm) and Medium 2.6 Lt (€19.50, 16.5×10.8×24.1 cm). The rectangular base fits better on deep shelves.
For those who want to get started straight away with a complete set, the 5-Piece Good Grips POP 2.0 Container Set (€65.00) includes five different sizes (0.4 Lt, 1 Lt, 1.1 Lt, 1.7 Lt and 2.1 Lt) designed to cover the most common kitchen uses without separate purchases.
How to choose the right OXO container
Based on kitchen use
- Spices and small ingredients: the small square Mini 0.4 Lt (€11.00) or the rectangular Mini 0.6 Lt (€12.50) are convenient near the cooker, stack well and take up little space.
- Daily use (coffee, pasta, flour): the Low formats from 1 Lt (€14.00–14.50) or 2.6 Lt (€19.50) are the most versatile, suitable for both pantry and work surface.
- Long pasta: the small square Tall 2.1 Lt (€17.50, 10.8×10.8×32 cm) is the ideal format thanks to its height.
- Weekly or monthly supplies: the large Medium 4.2 Lt (€21.50) is designed for those who buy flour or cereals in large packs.
Based on available space
Square containers stack perfectly with each other, both in the same format and in different formats of the same family (large with large, small with small). Rectangular ones are better suited when the shelf is deep: they line up in a row without wasting side space.
If you're reorganising your entire pantry from scratch, the 5-Piece POP 2.0 Set (€65.00) is a good starting point: it covers five different sizes and lets you see straight away how the system works before adding other formats.
FAQ — Frequently asked questions about OXO Good Grips POP containers
Are OXO Good Grips POP containers airtight?
Yes. The central button mechanism creates an airtight seal when pressed to close. This keeps dry ingredients fresh and protects against odours. The seal is integrated into the lid.
Can OXO containers be washed in the dishwasher?
Yes: all OXO Good Grips POP containers, including the lids, are labelled as dishwasher safe. However, we recommend checking the specific instructions on each product.
Can I stack containers of different sizes?
The square containers in the Good Grips POP range are designed to stack well with each other within the same family (large with large, small with small). Rectangular ones line up in a row but do not stack with square ones.
What is the difference between POP and POP 2.0?
The 2.0 version (featured in the 5-Piece Set) has a slightly redesigned button and a revised lid profile. For everyday domestic use the differences are minimal: both versions work with the same single-press mechanism.
