Someone said that that the lids trap mold?

I've been using mine for a long time. I hand wash them in warm water and air dry. Never experienced mold. Just keep them clean and don't leave anything in for too long and you should be fine.

I haven't had any trouble and i have been using glasslock products for years. I have never gotten mold on the lids. I run everything through the dishwasher between uses. Maybe they should practice safe food storage, you really shouldn't have anything stored long enough to grow mold....right??? Gross!! then you don't have to worry about it staining the container. Free advice >> Don't eat over their house ;)

I had it happen once in the many months and daily use I have had them. I scrubbed it of, ran it through the dishwasher and it never returned. It was there because I left something it it too long, so you can't blame it on the product.

It's possible, and has happened to me if I accidentally get food in the grooves. However, removing the gasket with a spoon and hand washing takes care of the problem.

I haven't run into that yet, but I also don't keep things in the refrigerator that long, plus a good washing should take care of that. Hope this helps. I love the product.

I've had no such problems. I wash these items top rack dishwasher and they are squeaky clean when I take them out of the machine.

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.

Yes, it is very easy. Do just as the other users indicated. If for some reason you happen to have a problem (which virtually never happens), just leave the mold at room temperature for a few minutes or float the mold in warm water for about a minute (with both lids still on) and it will come right out.

Yes, I think the "stopper" type lid has a bit of plastic inside to help give it a tight seal.

I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to that question. I don't recall seeing anything referencing that on the jars themselves.

Very possibly...you might need to light coat of a mold release, but worth a try.

Yes they do . My lids now fall through. If I had it to do over I would make sure the lid was hinged

No, but we don't use the lids for much. Occasionally we will want to store something in frig so use lid to keep the stuff fresh. Not much help for you. Sorry.

Well, the lids are secure, but at the same time, they lift off easily. I suppose that a screw-on lid would be MORE airtight, but I have not had a problem maintaining freshness in these jars.

No. The lids aren't true seals for the jars. These are more of a table decorative item

Yes we had that also. We tried to seal the lid tighter but some how they were still getting in. The only thing we could think was some how they were making it through the vent holes and carbon filter or we weren't sealing the lid on tight all the time.

I can't say I recall seeing this specifically mentioned on the box (both sets I rec'd WERE in original packaging, unlike some other reviewers'), but I've frozen in mine without issues. BTW I would definitely avoid dishwasher for plastic lids - the high heat, even in top rack, can eventually distort the shape & fit.

No, you can't. Let us know if you find a good alternative. Annoyed with these lids!

No. The lids are thin metal that loosely fit on glass jar. The glass is very nice, thick, heavy. The lids are the opposite.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

Yes, IF you line it with cardboard (your items must not come in contact with the metal) and seal the lid with metal tape (resembles duct tape).

Bases In the typeOf plastic it's made Of, the answer is yes. However the lids are not microwavables.
