why does moisture form on the interiors though the lids close tightly

I haven't had any problems with moisture in mine. Do you have your canisters sitting in sunlight or near a heat source? It could possibly be condensation forming inside due to the canisters warming up then cooling down. Mine are on a part of my counter that is always shaded and they're away from the stove.

I bought this Tuscany canister set, as well as the bread box in mid January. I haven't had any moisture problems. I live in northern Maine and heat with wood so the air in my house is dry and I use a humidifier. Let suggestion would be to check the humidity level in your house.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe just make sure the plastic seal on covers are secure

Yes. I believe it is condensation from the lid. I didn't realize that there was water in the heating element area until I had water on my counter top. If you have a solution, let me know.

if the jar is shut tight, there will be condensation. that is a natural occurrence.

The hole is there to let some steam escape. It is a precaution to keep you from getting a steam burn when you take the lid off.

these Zori's has a steam vent and a inner lid that secures to the top outer lid. moisture is trapped in between those two and the excess water/moisture is channeled into a well built around the pot itself. everything is self-contained within the unit so there is no outer components to attach. one thing to note, if there is a lot of water/moisture after cooking you are using too much water to begin with. I seldom have any issues with excess moisture because the unit does a great job venting it away. hope this helps.

Lids are not loose they fit tight. Not sure what you mean by airtight , but the lids on mine fit tight ,sometimes its hard to get them off .

Actually, around the small center disc are several open areas (inner side of the lid) which allow steam to escape.Excellent product btw.

I don't think the lid is supposed to be airtight. Mine has a small amount of unlevel, but it works perfectly fine. My experience in all my glass lid (metal edged) lids on crock pots is that once the moisture rises to the lid and flows to the lid edge a sort of water-seal forms with the shoulder of the crock and there is no unacceptable moisture loss.

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.

Hi Judith; I bought two of these safes and am pleased with them. I haven't had a problem with moisture. The instructions do say to leave the door open for a while every few weeks. Hope this helps.

i own this, with a properly placed seal it should be airtight. the seals remove for cleaning. if you do not install them correctly then it will not be air tight. they are pretty easy to install. i am happy for the price i paid. tupperware made nice canisters but they will cost you twice as much and they are not clear.

HI, I found the jars to have tight lid, because I did not want air to get to the spices that I leave in the RV from year to year. I'm only using dry spices, so cannot verify liquids.

Definite NO. The lid has a gasket and screws on tight. I know they can get into just about anything but these are secure from them. They also keep out the moisture. I use mine for my wood chips for my smoker and have had no problems with them being tight the lid is on.

The lids are hinded with suction sealing. I really like these canisters. I purchased chalkboard stickers to add to my canisters and use them for flour, sugar, rice etc. Hope this helps!

The lid has a vent hole. To keep steam inside without escaping requires plugging the vent hole. You would have to be created plugging the hole.

Matthew,So far the seals haven't let moisture in and kept my spices fresh.I guess the answer would be no the seals haven't come off when I opened my jars and seals are tight enough to keep spices moisture free. The only problem I had was that one of the jars was crushed/broken when I recieved them. Otherwise they're very nice and do the job. ♥

The lids press in with a silicone gasket seal. They can be difficult to press the lid on, but seem to seal well.
