Combining contemporary styling with a user-friendly design, this dual portion control dry-food dispenser can hold up to 17.5 ounces of food in each canister. It is suitable for various dry foods such as cereal, trail mix, candy, granola to nuts, beans, rice, etc. The units as-needed dispensing keeps food sanitary and germ-free, while its airtight seal helps prevent food from going stale and preserves freshness for up to 45 days, which means less food is wasted. This food dispenser is ideal for parents as it promotes growing independence as children learn to serve themselves or for people living a healthy or weight-conscious lifestyle. To use, place a bowl under the spout and twist the knob. The unit's portion-control system uses a soft, flexible paddle wheel that won't crush cereal, reduces messy spills, and dispenses a measured amount with each twist--about an ounce. Kids will enjoy turning the knob and watching cereal fall perfectly into their bowls, and parents can be assured that kids won't be spilling cereal all over the kitchen counter. Other features include durability, scratch-resistant, shatterproof construction, a removable bottom tray for quick cleanup, and an easy-to-assemble design.
