For those using the rings for gluten free batters (like hamburger buns), do you have any trouble with it leaking out of the bottom of the rings?

I use similar rings for baking individual cakes, both using wheat flour and gluten-free flours, and to solve the problem of leaking batter out the bottom I wrap the bottom edge in a layer of foil.....like you would for a cheesecake going into a water bath. Using these on a griddle, because of the high heat directly under the ring, the batter starts baking/cooking immediately but for oven baking, as the batter sits for a longer period of time in liquid form, the foil keeps everything contained within the ring. Also I spray/coat the foil and the rings in non-stick spray to make sure it all comes out clean from the rings. Happy baking!

I haven't had any problems thus far. I have used them to make gf and grain free English muffins

I have not had them leak as of yet. Just make sure you get the plastic roller insert in tightly.

Yes, they can leak, but still like the divided plates, as I take dinner's to my in-laws who are in the late 80's. freeze meals and take them out to them, so I do not experience leaks since meals are frozen.

I have had mine running since the day I received it and have never had a bit of problem with the O-ring seals!!! It doesn't leak at all!! They are tight and can be a little hard to get back on at times but I like the way the barrels work!!!

Hmm never really thought about that if you got a good seal on the top patty and started cooking it from the bottom before you flipped it you should be ok. I will tell you this I have had cheese leak out because I didn't get a good seal between the patty and the bottom. Also I have used this about 10 times and it does take almost a pound of burger to make one burger patty and I have cooked all of mine in the oven at 350 for about an hour doesn't dry out and one is very filling lol

I have not had any problems with them yet. I even put coconut oil in one of them with a lid and keep it in my swim bag. It has not leaked yet.

I didn't have much leaking. My issue was getting the egg cooked thru without burning the bottom, but I think a lid on the pan for a couple of mins. would fix that.

I use these mostly for my husbands lunches for things like pork and beans, pudding, olives, etc. However I just went and took one, filled it with water and put it on it's side and nothing came out so I shook it a bit and still nothing. When I press on the sides of the container the top bows up so even the air is staying in. I think they are mostly air tight and so far, I've never had one leak in my husbands lunch before. One caveat, these are plastic so if a lid or container is ever so slightly warped, it could possibly leak I suppose. Hope that helps you. I love these for lunches and portion control and I've bought them more than once.

I too have not had an issue, I was nervous with the reviews but I even cook on them (burger or so) I really like them, they are very heavy and seem durable to me. Ive had mine since last Christmas.

I have had a little issue with the casserole lids not having a tight fit after being used in the microwave. I have not had any leaks taking them to work, but I don't really challenge the seals either as they are always in a lunch box and not bounced around very much. The cup lids still fit tightly.

Yes. That is what I do, but the ring of the one I purchased AND the one that they replaced it with both have creases in the rings of the lid and it, therefore, leaks. I would use another company, personally. I hate that it is constantly leaking whenever we use it.

The round ones have a tight lid and so they don't leak, but the rectangular ones don't close that tight and so they leak. On the first set I got, the small rectangular lid was way to loose and they sent me a new set. The lid on that one fitted a bit better but it is still not hermetic and leak. I had to go and test them after your question so now both you and me know! :)

They screw off. Someone in the reviews said they leak. I have not had that problem.Some weeks later -- yes, I am finding they do leak a bit. I wrap the jars in a paper towel when I take them with me now.Another update: they don't leak if you make a thicker yogurt, using powdered milk along with the regular milk! If your yogurt is thinner and has that layer of whey on top, then they do leak.

I have not had issues with my pans, but then I am only using premade flour or corn tortillas. I just lift with my fingers and they come out. I also make gluten free tortillas, but I do cook them is a cast iron skillet before I put them in my pans to bake. I still have no issues with removing from the pans.

I don't think they are designed to be watertight. For that, I would expect a rubber gasket. I've had no trouble keeping juicy fruit or Ketchup out of neighboring compartments, though. And I didn't notice any changes over time.

Take them off because you don't want a leaky pan. Actually, mine didn't come packed this way.......but remove. Happy baking!

It could be the batter you're using. I hadn't had an issue with them sticking.
