Are these canisters air tight?

The canisters do have a rubber seal, thus providing a barrier to the air. However, depending on what you mean by air tight...?????I believe that the rubber seal should extend the life of it's contents and prevent contamination from exterior sources.

They are not very tight but i have sugar n flour in mine and they keep very well i love them!

I am so sorry that I don't know. I have never put anything in them. I bought them for decoration only. I'll try to remember to look tonight to see if they are.

The canisters are most definitely airtight. They have a rubber gasket on the top that seals against the ceramic lip of the bottom. You can feel and hear the seal breaking whenever you lift the lid. You have to actually PULL the lids off--because of the seal.

We have lots of spices in them over the stove where there's a lot of boiling and steaming going on, no problems. But I would doubt they are "air tight." We have not experienced any salt clumping or other negative effects, and you can smell the spices if you sniff the container. I'd guess it's pretty close to airtight but I wouldn't submerge it with your micro ipod in it!

They are very good to use as canisters. I would not put them in the freezer.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

Yes Lori, they are sealed airtight. Sometimes they can be difficult to open, but have always succeeded. They stay fresh for a while, but they never last too long around my house. They are delicious!

They are very well made and seal tightly. I'm not sure they are air tight, but they are leak proof.

It has holes on top and a charcoal filter, so no, its definitely not "air tight". But it seals all around the metal to metal contact very well :)

Yes the lids seem airtight to me. They have screw on grooves that secure on pretty well. Interesting idea to use them for dry snacks. Will have to try.

yes, other than the lid it is air tight. there are two pieces, the "cooler" and the lid. Much nicer than the type that have 6 styrofoam rectangles that just sit inside the box.

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.

No. They will leak if laid on the side. These jugs are not completely airtight.

I would say yes it is airtight. They are glass jars with a plastic lid that screws on. The display is acrylic.

Yes, they are air tight. They snap on. I leave the lid cracked open when bread dough is rising. The lid DOESN'T spin.

YES ! The lids have an excellent seal ; BUT one of our containers came with a bad seal. Evidently at the factory the seal was not installed properly and was in a position to only seal about 60 percent of the lid. I could not find away or anyone who would take back the individual canister and replace it. They wanted the whole set ( once I found someone to commit to customer satisfaction ) so I just fixed it myself. No big deal. I would highly recommend this product, they do seal and are great to look at.

They do not leak dry goods if closed properly but in terms of being airtight no they are not.There is no seal for that.

I have not had any problems - would say they are both air tight/liquid tight - if not for storage problems in a small kitchen I would love to have a second set.

They are not air tight - liquids seep out if you turn them on the side. I use them in the frig and for pantry storage but have never used them in the freezer.
