How airtight is the lid? Can this be used to transport more liquid casseroles without spilling?

I haven't used it for transporting liquids, but it does seem airtight. That being said, it is not that firm, so the lid may pop open if the dish is too full.

The lid sits somewhat inside the dish. It pushes food out if its too full. I would not rec for liquid. whipped cream sticks to it too.

The lid does not have an open and close hole. However, it is designed so that it would not spill much.

No- the lids stay in place well, but it's not leakproof, so if there is any liquid, it will spill through. Best to keep flat

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

Amazon (through Backcountry) has finally started selling the lid. It's not airtight (the tumbler isn't threaded for a cap), but will keep things the right temp longer and maybe reduce spills.http://www.amazon.com/Klean-Kanteen-Pint-Lid/dp/B00IPOT5B8/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5?ie=UTF8&refRID;=140VDB5S7KMC6A577RPM

The lid is not water tight. If you're looking for water tight storage boxes, you might try Pelican brand storage containers.

I would not use it that way; too deep and narrow. I would use a 6 quart Cambro (round or square) with lid - far easier to clean and will hold more.

I'm going to say yes. It's "Air tight" when the lid is screwed on tight, so I'd assume it's water proof also.

The cooler is made from Styrofoam and the lid does not have any type of seal other than the lip so I don't think it is "Air Tight". It is still a good container. I sent this container with two of cool packs from Seattle to North Platte next day FedEx and the contents were still frozen.

I don't know if I would consider it "air tight" or "air proof" as the seal is a foam strip (not rubber or some denser material), but the latch does keep the lid snapped closed. I roll mine around a lot though and tend to grap it from the front, which then unsnaps the seal. Argh. I have to remember to grab with both hands on either side of the snap, and then it works fine. I like them. (I took a photo for you as I thought there was a way to upload photos ... but I can't see how to do that on this answer.)

The opening is very small-- that's to allow the contents (oil, vinegar, whatever) to be "drizzled" on food in a very fine stream instead of pouring out as from a bottle container. There is a little top that covers the opening but it does not fit on tightly so it is definitely not an air tight seal. Thus, if the bottle were to tip over, some of the contents would probably spill out, albeit slowly. As far as the oil being exposed to the air, I would say not much. The very small opening and the little lid seem to be sufficient to protect the oil. I have been using two of these cruets for oils for about a year, and have not have had oil become rancid. These are not overly large containers and the contents get used up fairly fast, so the oil does not sit in them for a long time. I find these little containers very efficient; they are ideal for drizzling a fine stream of oil on food, and they look nice enough to keep them on the countertop, or dining table. Plus, I have a third one which is used for coffee creamer. One caveat: the lid is very small so care must be taken when washing the container and lid; it would be very easy to lose that little thing down the drain or accidentally toss it out with the garbage.

There are two containers that have screw on lids with gaskets. I use those for things that might leak. The other three are just snap on lids and would probably leak if you used them for liquids. I have found that the top two are plenty of storage for my more soupy food items and I stick to drier things like cut up fruits and such with the other containers and just keep it upright. I haven't had a problem with leakage that way.

Happy help. The lid is a very tight snap-on and the twist movement smooth. If the container falls I think you would be OK unless the "flap" pops open. But even so, not too many should spill out. This is a winner for $7. I would actually paid much more for this product.

It's not air-tight but the top lid and drawer fit very well. Something would have to be very small to get in. You could always tape the seams if you needed to.

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.

It's pretty tight but, I can't guarantee air tight. I would store food items in it.
