Does the aluminum lid touch the food?

The lid goes on the outside of the glass so that no aluminum is touching the food.

on my container the metal is on the outside of the jar. it is lined in plastic on the inside and the metal fits on the outside of the jar, the plastic part fits inside of the glass and makes a tight fit to keep everything fresh. i am very pleased with my purchase. the glass is thick and the container is well worth the price.

No, the lid does not touch the food. There is a plastic insert on the underside of the lid that fits into the top of the glass canister that creates a somewhat airtight seal. Unfortunately, the paint can chip off the lid and end up in your canister though. Other than that, I really like the canisters and have 4 of them which I use on a regular basis.

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.

I have not seen that it touches plastic anywhere. There is a silicon gasket between the glass metal part of the lid, but it doesn't get liquid on it.

I have not used the lid in cooking but the stainless is top Quality and 20x more durable than aluminum! If a magnet doesn't stick to it...Its top Quality!

No it does not. If one were to use a lid with a grill, then one would effectively be steaming the food, not grilling.

It does not, but I have both metal and glass lids, and neither have gotten scratches on them. Plus, there's enough room that the lids slide easily in and out.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

Other than the inside of the lid, no. As far as I can tell, only glass and metal (from the coil that runs up the side) touches the water when boiling.

No. I bought this unit. It's strictly a food warmer that fits one full aluminum tray.

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.

Yes, it has an inner layer of stainless steel that the food comes in contact with, the aluminum later (which is completely enclosed in stainless steel, so your food and kitchen surfaces never come into contact with the aluminum) and the bottom layer of stainless steel which comes in contact with the cooking surface.

I have heated food in the containers without damage to the lid. However, the lids can get sucked into the container due to the heat differential inside and outside the container. When that happens, it's a challenge to get the lid off.

No, not in my experience. The lid is a hard plastic, I can't see that ever happening.

No, the cover is not a good fit. It won't hold anything liquid. Overall, I'm not happy with the design. Because of the loose fitting lid, the food does not only leak but cools rather quickly.

Yes it does. The lid needs to be clamped in place,otherwise there is a gap. I think it's due to the rubber seal.

Mine never did that or I didn't notice it and my husband would say I notice everything. Mine came with little rubber things around the lid. I keep them on it when I store it. Used it yesterday to make a chicken noodle with vegetable soup. Used it Sunday to do the Pioneer woman chuck roast that is Devine. Started on stove top and finished in the oven.

All surfaces that touch food are stainless. There is an aluminum disk bonded to the bottom that provides even heating, but it is isolated from the cooking surfaces. I retired an older Mirro cooker due to the same concern about using aluminum.
