Will this work for storing and transporting liquids such as soup?

It works great. I have not ever had any issues with leakage. I love these containers. I have all sizes and all are great.

I haven't tried soup in mine, but I would definitely allow it to cool off before pouring in. The container seems to be more appropriate for dry goods. I keep flour and sugar in mine. Tomato based soups would likely stain the container. I LOVE these containers.

I have not tried it but the locking system seems very secure. It doesn't look very handy for getting the liquids out though.

Haven't tried liquids, but it has a good seal and if you don't tempt fate by storing it on its side, I don't think you will have leaks.

I believe it will work for soups. The lid fits tight and snug, there should not be an leakage. I store approximately two 5 lb bags of flour in mine and carry it with the handle that is attached on top of the lid to my counter.

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.

Personally, I would not try to use it to hold liquid - but I'm not sure if it can. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.

I believe so yes.Just ensure the seal is rightly placed.I used mine to store alcohol soaked fruit and no issues.

I think it would work very well for that. It seems very sturdy (granted mine isn't loaded down with heavy cans). I have been pleased with mine.

Yes, it would hold the containers, but I've never left anything in there that long so I can't say if it would keep it hot.

Yes I think it would because the top hole is big enough for a straw. But I don't know that this would be a container you'd want to use for that purpose. Like for example I use it to store my daughter's liquid formula so I pour it into her bottles.

I haven't tried it and just thought about it yesterday (made a big pot of soup). I think it would be great. They have 2 tiny holes in the top to let steam out. It's also the only container that keeps my ice cream from getting freezer burn. It's great quality as well.

Hi Daniel, my wife tells me that it DOES NOT work for transporting food. She says that it does not seal!!! Hope this helps you out.Shawn

I have not specifically used it for that but I think it would work very well. It's size and maneuverability and suction power would make it ideal for taking it from room to room where you may wish to store items.

yes it will hold a can of soup,,not much room for error but they will sit on the supports,,

I have never eaten watery soup from it, but it seems to me it would not be difficult. There is a large enough opening for the spoon to be inserted and come out easily, remaining in an upright position.

I haven't used it for transporting liquids, but it does seem airtight. That being said, it is not that firm, so the lid may pop open if the dish is too full.

Sorry, no. The cover between the two levels fits tightly, but not tightly enough to hold in liquids.

I have only used it for ice cream thus far. It is not insulated, so it would not keep the soup warm for a prolonged period of time. Also, it will not protect your hands very well from the heat of the soup inside.

yes totally usable. It is even durable enough to hold soup for 12 hours. I personally tested it.
