Is there some type of rubber/silicone, gasket/sealer ring on the inside of these lids?

No, there isn't. I wish there was, then they wouldn't leak when I take something for lunch!

No, solid plastic inside and out. I use these instead of the metal ring and flap after my home canning is opened...also for storage in mason jars. Very durable and dishwasher doesn't seem to break them down.

No, they are just plastic caps. I would NOT suggest you buy these. The shipping is more than the cost of the product. I just went to a hardware store in town and bought them.

there is a thin seal ridge which i have depended on in the past,however i did buy some sealing rings for the plastic caps,for when i thought there was going to be extra pressure as with sauerkraut.

I believe it is the newer silicone model, but it does have rubber O rings for sealing and in recommend putting a little silicone grease on those so they will last longer.

Yes it has a silicone gasket around the inside of the lid. The lid makes a tight seal as you press it down, you can hear the air being pushed out. As well, it has another pressure seal for the pop-up valve and the relief valve, likely those have small gaskets, too.

Yes, there is either a plastic or nylon liner on the underside of the chrome domed lid. I really don't see this as a problem though.

lids and rubber sealing rings are bpa free. they work very well when pressure canning or water bath canning. they should work well when fermenting, but just snug down on the lids. over tightening is the major cause of failure when using these lids and rings.

No. It has a solid glass lid that makes contact with the ceramic interior. No rubber seal.

There are no gaskets. The lids screw onto a regular or wide mouth jar, and are not air tight. The little flipper lid on top flips open for dispensing liquids or other small items stored in jars. They are great for things like salad dressing where you don't want to use a metal lid because of the reaction it would have with the ingredients.

Tattler describes the rubber rings as BPA free. Additionally, BPA is used to make some HARD plastic containers. The original lids and seals made by some mfgs such as Blue and Kerr used BPA on the inside surface of the lid, not the sealing compound itself. Therefore, in my opinion, I think you are safe using Tattler rubber rings for your purposes.

Mine has a rubber gasket. Not sure why you would need silicone unless they forgot the gasket.

rubberagemfg.com has largest size gaskets I could find that go up to 6" inside and they call them 'cookie canister seals'.

I spoke to Thermos about this today. They refuse to sell the gasket's separately, telling me that they "are made with the lids." This is clearly false: they are entirely separate from the lids and could be sold separately.

No plastic just a silicone?seal that is remove able around the edge of lid. Careful who you order from fly sports did not send me the item pictured and I had to reorder from someone else.

Louanne,I have this Retro Vintage canister set, and no, it didn't come with a rubber of final seal on any of the lids. I don't know what you use yours for, but mine is used for flour, sugar, and the small one for trinkets! We live in a dry climate so I don't have any issues. Hope this helps.

Yes they do? I really like replacing the metal ring to the plastic after opening the jar. For example pickles, when not consuming the entire jar. I will replace with the plastic. Just keep in mind these plastic covers are for storage only and will not seal like the metal in the canning process. The Plastic is great for dry storage spices, pasta, rice in the quart or pint jars when you plan opening the jar often

I've seen lids for these, but I don't recall where or how much they were. The first two results at http://goo.gl/bO6aJ have the lids, but you may be able to find them on Amazon if you poke around.

The black ring in this picture is only part of the lid - I can't say for sure, but I believe it is silicone of some kind which forms a seal around the glass lid. I have never had a reason to use the lid. The server itself is only glass.

The lids are glass with a plastic ring that seals them very tightly! Truly a quality product!
