Would liquid leak when sealed? Sauce, gravy, soup, exct.

If it is filled too high, yes. Even with a salad that has dressing, I make sure to keep it cover-side-up in my lunch bag.

Yes, these containers do leak, they are not air tight. Great for non-liquid items however.

Yes. It is a simple metal to metal contact to the lid. No type of rubber or silicone seal is provided. It's fit is close enough to hold something as fine as sugar, but liquids and powder will escape. however, a thin towel in a ziplock bag placed over the top of the pan extending over the edges will be enough to seal it when the lid is attached.

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

I would not use this for leaking liquids...it may hold up but does not appear to be made for that unless you put a plastic bin inside of the compartment to put the liquids in....

That is the design :) No leakage for me yet, but you have to make sure the seal is in properly (it comes out for easy cleaning) and I'm sure it would depend on what you put in there. Something really juicy may leak

No! I believe it is likely to build up too much pressure if sealed. I do think the gasket keeps food moist but the side clips are in the way.

I regularly heat sealed food in a pot of water and sometimes the water boils though I try to keep it from doing so. The plastic will eventually leak but I have not experienced diluted contents.

Definitely might leak. Great size for just a taste, but if left on their side it is possible to leak. It didn't seem to have a really strong seal. I do like them for herbs.

After owning these containers for a year+ I would say no, there isn't a liquid tight seal on any of the joins between containers or lids. It's best for transporting non liquid food.

The top has a rubber seal and should work to keep in liquids if put in properly. The bottom seals tightly and should hold more thick soups but I wouldn't try swinging it around or anything

No- I just filled one with water and turned it upside down, and nothing leaked out. It is a super tight seal

Yes, the seal is not tight on these containers. Unfortunately, they leak as well.

Freeze liquids such as sauces, soups and stews in containers, casserole dish or loaf pan. Then vacuum seal and freeze. Stuff stacks nicely this way.

It is not leak proof. I don't believe it is intended to store fluids, but it is great for other foods.

Yes, I always pull out the sealed bag a bit, maybe 1/4 or 1/2 inch, and seal again to make sure it is sealed for sure. I've had just one seal not heat well and there goes the vacuum and the food!

The lid does not seal securely but if I think that the contents in the casserole will leak out, I cover the dish with foil and have never had it leak when transporting it.

I have had spaghetti sauce and steak sauce and no leaks as long as you have the strap on

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.
