If the produce drawer doesnt have an airtight seal, does it still work well?

Yes, it seems to work just being close to them. It does make the produce last longer.

My drawer seal may be better or not. Sometimes the drawer doesn't get closed all the way. I find that the blue apple is still very effective. I keep a blue apple in each drawer and have one in my fruit basket on the counter. I must say that I have thrown away almost no fruits and veges since I bought these in Sept. I really can't say enough good things about this product.

Yes. The important thing is replacing the insert once a month. Also note that while the produce will not rot as quickly, this product does not slow the growth of mold on items like mushrooms and grapes. It is still important to watch for that.

Yes, it will still work. In fact, I use them in open air fruit bowls, and they will still work there although not as well.

I wouldn't use it for anything that needs a seal for freshness. Air comes in the bottom. Besides it's too rickety. We have a rice cooker too and just use a plastic bucket with a lid.

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.

Yes. There is a little catch so the drawer doesn't just fall out when it's opened.

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

I too own an old Foodsaver vac. I had to cut the gasket in order for it to fit. It seems to work just fine for sealing but I haven't extracted air since buying it.

I would say yes, it's air tight. There is a rubber seal around the top and it snaps closed. (There is no doubt it is closed tight with the snap) I love mine and even though the contents is several months old, the product is staying fresh

I can answer the second question: No, it is not airtight. The lid doesn't tightly seal to the rim of the pan. I've found this to be the case with all 4 of my lidded Nordic Ware pans. I just put some plastic wrap on the pan before popping the lid on.Additionally, the pie pan's lid has little vents in it.Hope that helps. I still love these pans for now nicely they bake and clean up.

It would be the same with any masticating juicer. I do not store my juices in air tight containers and mine do well in the refrigerator for three days.

This is like any other plastic container. As far as an airtight seal I would say no. But once the lid is on it seems to fit fine. I would say it should keep ants out as long as it's on correctly.

It would depend on which model you are using. If you have an upright model then it will not work. Be careful of overheating which can cause the FoodSaver not to seal properly.

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.

This snapware product does not have airtight seal but does hold tight better than any other box this size, snapware does make airtight containers for food I have ones with glass base much smaller great for lunch food

These are very good a storing dry goods. Since the lids are watertight they hold in the product's freshness very well. As will any dry goods though, make sure that you eliminate as much oxygen as possible. Adding oxygen absorbers and/or flushing the container with nitrogen is recommended.

Absolutely! I have never had an issue. It's a tight seal and keeps things fresh.

Yes, but not sure if airtight if not close to it. I use for cinnamon & sugar

We have a large drawer near the microwave that we store it in. It hasn't been a problem.
