Does the lid seal pretty tight so you can pack it in a lunch and microwave later?

No, it does not seal. It just sits closed. It would spill if you tried to pack it.

There arent any latches on this at all so traveling with liquid eggs in it isn't an option.
1647113
No it doesn't seal at all. Pehaps you could close the lid and then wrap a rubber band around the outside.

Not at all! This is my biggest complaint about this awesome cooker. I bring my egg in a separate container if I bring to work.

Some of my lids fit so tightly that it is hard to get them off when filled with yogurt ---but considering what a mess it could make if one opened in a lunch bag, I would seal it in a ziptop sandwich bag just in case ;)

No not really. They might longer than a reg container if you had them wrapped/packed inside something thermal or insulated. Also, the lid shuts tight but if you were to fill it with water, for example, I'm sure it would leak out. It's not a complete "seal".

it is, however from what I have read from others is that you shouldn't put the lid with it while you microwave. I think the heat damages the lid. At least that's what I found out from others. every time I microwave I never put the lid and it works just fine.

No, it is not made for that. It sits securely on top when cooking in the microwave but the silicone is soft and pliable and doesn't form a spillproof seal. You would not want to carry food in it in a lunch bag or box.

No. The lids are all plastic. The containers are thick sturdy glass. The tops are 100% plastic, but this allows them to seal completely. Personally, I do not microwave food with the lid on, also, the lids don't really come in contact with food, other than to prevent spills. I am happy with this product. I've used the containers daily for a year and they are in new condition so they wear well.

in my opinion it does have a tight lid but I wouldn't trust it enough to say watertight.

It certainly can. The lids have a tab that you slide open when you microwave. Have done many prepare ahead meals that I have frozen, then gone directly to microwave.

Each lid fits down into the mold with a notched "lip" that holds with its own pressure simply from being the same size as the mold. It's not a super-tight seal, and I wouldn't trust it in a kid's lunchbox - especially because these are so flexible/squishable. A single hard squeeze would pop the lid off for sure.

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.

Yes. They don't seal tightly unless something hot is inside it. But beware, they can leak. Tried using it to keep lunch warm but knocked it over inside lunch bag. What a mess. Still love the containers, though for when we're at a potluck.

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 one and it is great! the lid is microwave safe..when heating in it you put the lid on upside down and it sits on the bowl lightly--any leftovers you can fit the top on the bowl and store in the refrigerator..I use mine all the time..you will not see this in any store.

This snapware product does not have airtight seal but does hold tight better than any other box this size, snapware does make airtight containers for food I have ones with glass base much smaller great for lunch food

Yes. There is a little red switch on the inside that will keep the lid open.

I am not quite sure what you mean.....if you mean "is food still fresh after being sealed?"....the answer is YES. I am extremely happy with this product. Some food items seal tighter; less liquid, more tight. Examples: Boneless chicken breasts (this is what I mostly eat), may seem a little loose inside packaging after I have sealed it, yet it comes out as fresh as when it went in! When I seal my lettuce, after drying it thoroughly, it seals nice and snug and comes out great!

The lid does not leak - but it is not a tight lid - it just covers it. I love it - I leave it in the refridge 24 - 7 filled with ice tea. I have had it in use for five months now.
