Does the lid seal airtight?

No, there is one (someone else reported two, but I only remember one) intentional hole in the silicone sealing gasket - perhaps about 1mm in diameter. So it is not truly airtight. But because the hole(s) have a very small area, there is very little communication between the jar and outside - it keeps dry rice very well.

Sad to say, they are not airtight. My pantry got overrun by moths and grubs inside these jars. I would not put anything like rice, flour, pasta, beans or anything else that can be eaten by moths. I had better results with OXO, Click N' Lock or PERSIK for storing food.

I don't believe it is airtight. The lid has a silicone gasket that slides up and down when you open and close, so I don't see how it could be airtight. I agree with the second answer, it is tight but not air tight.

Being a chemical engineer this container would not pass a leak test; but it has a rubber gasket that makes the top a bit difficult to remove with one hand when grabbing flour - so I think for storage purposes you could call it "air tight".

The lid is on fairly tight. It looks great on the counter and holds a good amount.

Yes. There is a silicone gasket that behaves akin to a wine cork to seal the mouth of jar. When you pull up on the lid you will hear air being slowly sucked in, and in the reverse, being pushed out.

Yes. I had bought a different set and was disappointed that it wasn't a true airtight seal. This jar is perfect...a nice large jar witha nice airtight seal. You won't be disappointed!

Yes. It has a plastic/teflon inner ring in the lid that you push into the mouth of the jar and it is a fairly tight seal. We store flour and sugar in our jars.

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

No, it is not airtight. If u pack anything that contains liquid, it will leak.

It is not air tight; it has no seal or gasket. The cap goes on with 1/4 turn. I live in a low-humidity area, so I keep everyday coffee and tea in these. I use a Teavana canister for my more costly teas. You get what you pay for.

Yes. The top snaps on solidly and the lid snaps closed with a very good seal.

It is a solid closure, but I would not say airtight... technically speaking.

Hey hey�❗️Well, I wouldn't say this is an air tight container. Top fits pretty securely in my opinion but not blocking out air completely though. No seal of any kind. Just good coverage for a good pan. I think you'll like it. I so kindly hope this helps u. Toodle-loo�

Yes, they are. However, I still sealed everything up with a mylar bag before putting on the lid. They are very high quality buckets/lids that seal up very tight and once sealed, have a one time use pull strip to open them again. The lids will go on again without the pull strip...but I wouldn't think it would be air tight without that strip.

No, not air tight at all unless you maybe wrap some plastic wrap around the top before putting lid on. I actually never use the lid.

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.

yes, it is airtight. It never last long enough to go stale, the container is really small if you stack up, it's a poor design, it takes half the room. Today I only use it to store tea bags, formula, things that takes little room. I now use the zoli sumo snack stack.

It does not. There is a rubber seal around the edge of the lid. Hope this helps!

No, not airtight. I only fill mine 1/4 full and store remaining beans in original bag or in another airtight container. I use a strip of press & seal between lid and bowl to help keep beans fresh.

Yes. The lid clamps down and seals easily. I have not opened it frequently and so do not know about the wear factors, that some other reviewers have mentioned.
606152
Yes there is a clear plastic seal. It isn't so tight it is hard to get off, but I think it is pretty airtight. The jar is huge, wish I would have gotten a little smaller one. But, I do like it.

It does have a light rubber seal around the inside so it's not open at the spout all the time. I'm not sure if it's 100% airtight, but thanks to the lid and seal, I am not worried about spillage or anything like that.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.
