Does the lid have a rubber gasket to hold in steam?

No the lid does not have a rubber gasket for sealing. The rim of the pot is constructed so that the lid fits snugly over the opening. We have never experienced steam leakage! The pot works wonderfully.

These lids do not have steam vents, no. But Calphalon does make a stew pot that comes with a lid with steam vents which work wonderfully.

Yes, there is a black rubber gasket. I have been using them for sugar & rice storage. They have exactly the kinda seal needed for long shelf secure storage. Hope this helps.

Ours did. I'm pretty sure that is one of their selling points. The pressure lid is metal.

The gasket is on the lid. It is better then most because it is quite tall and pliable so it helps keep the moisture in.

Yes there is a thin rubber gasket but they wear out after lots and lots of use. However, these gaskets are replaceable at local hardware stores for a nominal charge.

Don't see a gasket in mine. The top has to be tightened down completely in order to build pressure.

It does have a rubber seal and an aluminum lid. I LOVE these containers - they are attractive and functional. The aluminum lid makes it easy to stack them, if you choose to.

The lid has a vent hole. To keep steam inside without escaping requires plugging the vent hole. You would have to be created plugging the hole.

When the steam is building i do like the instructions suggest and turn a upside down spoon over and press the the three hole rubber round small gasket on the lid for a couple of seconds . That takes care of that problem.

No gasket. I did not like this cockpot because it cooks too hot no matter what setting.

It has a rubber gasket. The side holes for the hinge wire are too big and not in the right location. Seal is not tight, these will leak air!

No. There is a rubber gasket that sits in a groove around the edge of the case, check there for any funny business

Yes. There is a rubber gasket around it and the container goes into the lid and locks down with the red tab you see in the picture.

There isn't a gasket but it seats well and when the lock is engaged nothing is going to crawl in from the lid. I haven't had the lid issues others have talked about. Either lucky for me or unlucky for them.

Yes, this set has a steam basket with it. I have found that the lids do not seal and steam excapes.

No, it does not have gaskets. You need to seal it in with some kind of caulk, like silicone.
