I like to eat a lot of soups, stews and chili. Will they spill/leak into the other compartments soaking/wetting my dry foods?

Yes. Though since there are3 containers I didn't see leakage between diff containers. But in between diff compartments in the same one. There is a gap

I have not tried this but I have had containers spill inside the back pack and it did not leak out.

Yes, I always use the smaller ones for salad dressing or soy sauce when I take fried rice to work. I have used the larger ones for soup and never had an issue with it spilling.

Don't think a real liquid like soup will stay put. You will need the cup that. Salad dressings don't seem to leak out put that is a minor amount of liquid and a lot of salad mix to aid in keeping it in.

Thin sauces will leak into the next compartment. Something thick, like hummus, won't. Get the lunchbot round sauce tins with lids to put inside a compartment for yogurts and thin sauces. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay, I was away in vacation and the lunch boxes were at home:-)

I was unsure myself, so I performed an experiment with water. The water leaked through into the 2 smaller compartments; however, due to using water, maybe a more viscous liquid would not leak? I would air on the side of caution, and not place liquid in the container unless you are able to keep it flat all day.

absolutely no leaking. i make soup and store soup in these boxes and put nox into my backpack and go to work on almost daily basis. never had a leaking situation.

The lids are actually almost a too snug, so it's doubtful the contents would spill during transit. But they may vary from one set to the next, so you would probably want to use a bit of scotch tape just to be sure.

Mine has never leaked from where the lid and jar form a seal. However, it would be easily spilled in a lunch bag because of the holes for drinking and air flow.

No, these are definitely not made to hold hot foods. For chili or soup, you would be much better off with styrofoam or waxed paper containers.

I did not have any problems with leakage. I have used them for transporting pickles, making jello shots and putting condiments in to take for lunch.

The lunchblox containers are spill proof so I've never had a spill within the bag. However, unless you carry a purse the size of a small suitcase you'll probably be carrying this bag separately.

My (10 year old) daughter regularly uses these in her lunch for soups, salad dressing, 'dips' and yogurt. Once I showed her how to 'burp' the lid, she has not had any problem with leaking. I hope this helps. We love these containers.

I have had some leaks when liquids were in them and they were shaken upside down. IMO, I'd not take them in a backpack unless closed in a ziploc.

Yes, there is a small gap in the compartments. I use one of the small steel containers and it fits in the openings without spilling.

I would not put water inside, but they do have a tight seal for dry snacks. A little difficult for kids hands to open.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it. I find them very handy when moving the food to a different location - I was forever spilling things in the car, and now I can count on spill proof and more sanitary food.
