Can you also use this for food storage, as in covering glass containers? WIll it create an air tight seal?

I agree with the other responses in that it will not create a seal. However it works great to prevent boil-over.

You must be confused about what this is...it is to put on a pot on the stove that might boil over. Keeps it from boiling over, it doesn't seal anything.

The small 'lid' that covers the wholes of the larger piece can be used as a covering for glass containers (just tested it to make sure - and it does seal tight). It is only about 6" in diameter, though, so it will only work with fairly small containers.

I'm not sure. Since it's glass it could be used fot borth, but there is a rubber seal inside the lid so I think the previous answer is right.

I would say yes, it's air tight. There is a rubber seal around the top and it snaps closed. (There is no doubt it is closed tight with the snap) I love mine and even though the contents is several months old, the product is staying fresh

yes. it seals fairly well. it doesnt seal airtight but then again you dont want to seal them airtight. the lenght of time will vary with the recipe used and the environmental factors like temp and humidity or how long they are out of the container for.

Yes, it's possible. They are not air tight seals. Opening and closing is a flap that does not lock onto anything, it just rests on the container.

Agree that it is a tight seal, but may not be the best container if you are going to regularly use it to transport more "liquidy" foods like yogurt. Also, while its still tight, our lids have gotten a bit more loose over time.

I would say this container is not an air tight suction type seal. In fact, that is the thing i like least about this container. The sealing mechanism is weak and i am always worried it will open, especially when carried.

I don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

Your Foodsaver appliance removes the air and heat seals your package. There is no "zip seal" involved in preparation of your product for storage. Hope this answers your question.

I haven't used it for pet food but it is an air tight seal for the other foods that we have stored in our containers

When used in a case with a tight seal this product should work well. Opening and closing the case constantly may decrease performance, though. Also, the product is thin enough to fit in a tight space.

No, not air tight at all unless you maybe wrap some plastic wrap around the top before putting lid on. I actually never use the lid.

I don't believe it is airtight. The lid has a silicone gasket that slides up and down when you open and close, so I don't see how it could be airtight. I agree with the second answer, it is tight but not air tight.

I do not believe this is intended for food. We are not using it for food. This company does make other containers that are designed for food.

Yes. I had bought a different set and was disappointed that it wasn't a true airtight seal. This jar is perfect...a nice large jar witha nice airtight seal. You won't be disappointed!

I don't store dry food in mine. I use it for office supplies. The seal isn't air proof.
