Does the lid fit tightly to keep cookies fresh?

I actually use this for holding nail polish bottles. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No the lid does not fit tightly at all -and the picture shows three but when ordered you receive one.i purchased three and own four.i found if you put plastic suran wrap between jar and lid it keeps things fresh, I store my brown sugars in it that way works and there is no clumping or hardening so far and its been weeks.hope this helps until anchor hocking fixes the problem.

The lid does not fit tightly no. There is no rubber gauging, or anything else that would make it at all airtight. I use mine to store candies on my desk, and while it would work just fine for cookies you expected to be consumed in a day or two, I wouldn't use it for anything beyond display purposes. (Though, throwing a piece of yeasted bread in there with your cookies will help un-stale cookies, if you don't already know that trick.)

No, the lid dose not fit tight however they're nice. I brought 4. 3 medium for candy looks really cute on the kitchen counter and a large for cookies which stays fresh a week max... I'll probably try the plastic wrap. I hope this was helpful.

I actually use mine to hold cookie cutters, not cookie - if you are looking for a tight seal on the lid it is not

There is no seal as such. The lid fits into the top lip of the jar and stays put until lifted off. We like our cookie jar, but it is hard to keep full. JOHN

It is a tight fit, but the lid does close. If you are nervous about using force I would not get it

Yes. It comes off very easy and snaps back in. I like that if fits in without having to mess with a lid.

Yes, the lid fits tight. Bread Bin seems to keep the bread fresh longer then most bins I have used in the past.

Yes, as long as the lid is kept down, it is tight enough to keep them out.,

The lid fits just fine after washes and heating. I've used it for 2 weeks. It is not seal-tight. And the utensils pop out of their designated slots. It has nothing to do with washing.

My cookie jar has a good seal. Maybe not air tight but cookies are never in my jar that long at my house. I love it!

i can tell you this we put fresh baked goods into this and they stay fresh until we threw them away i have no idea what the other 2 reviews are thinking when they say it is not air tight. you put the lid on and they snap into place making them air tight will it block the air from a tornado probably not but to preserve freshness yes there awesome.and we have carried multiple baked goods in this it has never just pop open it is a good product that holds baked goods and transports your baked goods you will be happy you bought it

Yes...I leave lid on loosely. That's one of the reasons why I chose these. Great for sending food to daycare with baby.

No. This is a very large jar. Approxiamtely a foot tall and 6 inches, at least, wide. This jar is not a canning jar. My husband now uses it to put his cookies in. The plastic piece on the inside of the lid is not attached to the metal lid. You can super glue the plastic piece to the metal lid and this will help.

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

In my case, I've never been able to get the lid to fit tightly. I don't care, as I've found out that heavy duty aluminum foil makes a better top, anyway (especially for larger items like half legs of lamb and whole chickens). You get kind of a fireplace smell, but it goes away within a day.

The lid does seem to fit really tightly, but I'm not sure if really small bugs could still get inside. If you really want to be sure, try putting a sheet of plastic wrap over the top then snap on the lid.

Yes. The lid is the same material as the pan. (Can even use the lid as a cookie sheet.). It fits snugly, easy to take off and on.

They have a pretty good rubber (maybe soft plastic) seal. I don'think it's air tight. They have been dependable in storing flour and cookies.
