Are the containers spill proof? Would they be suitable for soup or pasta sauce?

Maegan, there are two compartments inside, top and bottom. The container is the perfect size for my panda obsessed dauhter but i wouldnt recommend it for an adult, you might find it a bit small. One part is pretty much spill proof I'd say, I use it for wetter fruits (melon, strawberries etc). I put yoghurt in it once. It'd hold a very small serving of soup.

Not really. Unless it's really thick and not very watery, it might be ok, but otherwise, I'd say stick to a thermos

No. It is a cute snack container. My daughter always puts it in a baggie because it doesn't seal completely. It does not hold much.

Depending on how you're carrying the container from place to place. The middle compartment is like a Tupperware container and actually has a sealed lid on it. If your pasta sauce is thick, then I would suppose it wouldn't be an issue, especially if the whole bento + the strap was put together. Soup? Maaaybe. The thing is, it's not as secure as a Tupperware container, and while yes technically it will hold soup and sauces, you don't want to be shaking/dropping/flipping upside down the containers. I put yogurt and sometimes pasta salad (with dressing) in my middle compartment and it's never leaked. Depending on how you're carrying the container from place to place.

Not for soup. There is an inner container that should be okay for pasta sauce.

Yes and no. I emptied out one of mine just now (the smallest one), filled it with water, and shook it fairly vigorously. In that case, it leaked somewhat. However, unless you really make an effort to cause leakage, spillage, I believe they would be fine. Sorry it took so long to respond! (Just saw the previous response; I believe I agree, in essence, though I think if you had one in a box or other container, AND didn't go through an earthquake (or similar), it would likely be "okay." Tupperware? might be better, or something similar.

I do not believe it is THAT spill proof. I wouldn't put any liquids in it unless the liquid was in a container of its own

Not leakproof. Love these containers, though! They are awesome! I put liquids/yogurt/soft stuff in the individual containers.

Short answer is no, they are not leak proof. There is no "gasket" in the lid and so when laid on its side, liquid will slowly leak out. With the shaker in, it seemed leak proof, but who would store liquids in a bottle with a shaker top?

No- the lids stay in place well, but it's not leakproof, so if there is any liquid, it will spill through. Best to keep flat

Yes, I always use the smaller ones for salad dressing or soy sauce when I take fried rice to work. I have used the larger ones for soup and never had an issue with it spilling.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it. I find them very handy when moving the food to a different location - I was forever spilling things in the car, and now I can count on spill proof and more sanitary food.

The lids are actually almost a too snug, so it's doubtful the contents would spill during transit. But they may vary from one set to the next, so you would probably want to use a bit of scotch tape just to be sure.

I would think so, yes. However, they are very lightweight, so when it is open a liquid could easily get bumped and spilled. Also, since it is a liquid, I would suggest putting whatever you store in a Ziploc as a backup. I don't expect it would leak (it seems like a good seal), but I do this anytime when I travel with shampoos, lotions, etc., just in case.

No it is not the 'spill proof' type, the cap will need to be removed before the bottle is tipped into the dispenser. I bought these simply to prevent spillage after I refilled my bottles at the grocery store. They are not airtight and would not be good for long term water storage.

So far they seem air tight and spill proof but my concern is over time and with the heat from the dishwasher can they sustain their durability (the lids in particular). By the way, one of the lids was broken.

I'm guessing yes. I warm all sorts of stuff in mine. Need stew, spaghetti, soup and more. I haven't tried a liquid. Not sure how spill proof pure liquid will be. I mean when I have soup it gets tossed around and it's been fine so far.

Although the lids are tight, I wouldn't trust them for carrying soup- maybe salad. Also, they are glass and I would be nervous about kids dropping them- they do break. They are great for leftovers.

They are likely large enough. However, be aware that they will not soak up liquids that well, as they are on the thin side and may not keep the spills from bleeding through onto the clothes, depending on how heavy the spill is. I've had good success with an adult dealing with coffee and spaghetti sauce spills.

These click shut and do not leak. They are good for putting liquids in. I use them for homemade ice cream, chili, soup, etc.

The lids will not come off, but the container is not spill proof... So anything with liquids can leak Into the other parts of container.
