I assumed the lid would have rubber to form a tight seal. I'm concerned the honey will crystalize more quickly. Has this been an issue?

I've never experienced any crystallization, my honey comes from a local Mennonite though so I'm not sure if that helps that problem should there be one. On average my pot contains honey for a month before a refill and it's always smooth.

No, there is no seal. I have not had any problem with the honey crystallizing. If you do, just heat it up and it will be back to normal honey consistency.

Yes it is suppose to be hard not like other honey. Should be able to use spoon to get honey out.

I found just sitting the jar on a plate or small bowl is enough to keep honey from flowing out. Fill this way and screw top on and there is minimal mess. Just don't lift until top is on.

No, I don't think so because then it wouldn't adequately seal. Try putting warm water to the indentation in the bowl and set the dispenser in it for several minutes. It will heat the honey and then it will come out quickly and easily.

Yes, the seal is very thin and will not compress when the lid is screwed on. It is a novelty item only. I think it would be the luck of the draw if you got one that didn't leak.

I just keep mine in a very clean glass jar with a tight lid and have not had any problems!

Holy smokes,I did at all pay attention to any of that. I just checked. The lid just goes on there. It doesn't screw on or anything, but sort of just sits on there snuggley. So not airtight. I've had it filled up, and have not noticed any deterioration in the taste of the coffee over time. I also cover the whole thing with a dark cloth.

The jar is made out of thin plastic, although it might still break if dropped onto a hard surface, especially if you purchase the 5 lb container. The lids from my past couple of purchases seem to seal pretty tight so you shouldn't have to worry as much about evaporation.

Louanne,I have this Retro Vintage canister set, and no, it didn't come with a rubber of final seal on any of the lids. I don't know what you use yours for, but mine is used for flour, sugar, and the small one for trinkets! We live in a dry climate so I don't have any issues. Hope this helps.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal.I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

It has a rubbery like material on the inside rim of the lid so that it will seal in a hot bath -- just like a "real" canning jar lid. It might survive acetone. You will need to test it though.

It is possible, because it is exposed, but I haven't had to much of an issue. Some brands of honey I have gotten have crystalized in it, but I have seen that also happen in sealed jars so I don't really count that against the jar itself. If you put a jam or something else in it I could see a possible drying out situation. If you use it for honey, and see the honey crystalize just put the jar in a bowl of hot water and it clears up in a few minutes (don't microwave it-I was told it kills the honey's enzymes).

I don't recall it having a rubber seal (I keep it at work so I don't have it on me to check). I would say that it does seem airtight or at least keeps in smells--I store coconut oil in mine, and I haven't ever noticed its odor unless I open the jar.

honey can crystalize over time,however........I've stored my ambrosia honey for months and it never crystlized

When the honey arrived it was somewhere between the hardness of granite and frozen peanut butter. After trying to chisel some out with a knife I decided to put the jar in a pot of warm water. After about 20 minutes the honey is now like soft peanut butter. Much better!

It came safely surrounded by packaging and also had a tight seal on the jar that I had to cut to get off. So if you are wondering if the jar is safely sealed, yes it is. And if you are wondering if the product is safely wrapped in box to prevent breakage or cracks in the glass jar, yes it is. And it is the best honey I have ever had.

The body is made of glass, and the tip of the plug that raises when the lever is pushed to allow the honey to flow from the bottom has a soft silicone tip to ensure a tight seal. The rod that connects the lid to the silicone 'cork' is chrome in presentation but is probably made of plastic.
