does guard allow foods like chili to thicken rather than dripping condensation into food like a reg lid

Though I've never used this to cover simmering pots, I'm fairly certain that moisture build-up wouldn't be a problem. The sturdy screen is really a perforated lid. It's actually the best splatter screen I've ever used.

Yes. There are lots of small holes in this so that your food still breaths, but does not splatter.

It's best to. Otherwise it's very... Liquid-y. Keeping it refrigerated keeps it thick

No the lid does not fit tightly at all -and the picture shows three but when ordered you receive one.i purchased three and own four.i found if you put plastic suran wrap between jar and lid it keeps things fresh, I store my brown sugars in it that way works and there is no clumping or hardening so far and its been weeks.hope this helps until anchor hocking fixes the problem.

I used the lid yesterday to slow cook some chili after I pressure cooked it. Note I have the Instant Pot IP-LUX60 other models might not work.

In my case, I've never been able to get the lid to fit tightly. I don't care, as I've found out that heavy duty aluminum foil makes a better top, anyway (especially for larger items like half legs of lamb and whole chickens). You get kind of a fireplace smell, but it goes away within a day.

It doesn't really have a "seal". It's just a wooden lid that slides back and forth which covers whatever you have inside fairly well, but not air tightly. I have coarse salt and pepper inside my box, and for this purpose, it works great.

YES, I have been using this item for several years, recently I have been using ZipLoc Perfect Portions to place whatever food I am going to place in my Handi-Vac bags, this will keep the food fresher and also keep freezer burn from happening. Can't say enough good things about this product, I always use this when I buy in bulk for chicken, steaks, or anything else I freeze. I was the used bags with soap and water and let them dry, and use them again. Hope this was helpful and answered your question.

Yes. The center dips a bit so your stuff doesn't run over the edge. More like a griddle though.

Yes the middle of the lid could if you lay it sideways etc. You could always place something like parchment paper on top of food to shield or keep it straight up to avoid touching.

I don't think the lid closes tight enough to keep moisture or bugs out. I have several items I need to keep dry but I store them in airtight containers in the box.

Yes, there is a thin seal on the inside of the lid. It doesn't cover all the lid.

yes, it does seal tightly and keep out odors . on a side note i do try to keep all other freezer foods completely covered so that they don't get smell from them

Yep. Dont expect a secure fit though. If you pick up the can and squeeze too hard, the lid will come off. It's good enough to keep contents from drying out if you left it in the fridge or something.

I've had a braun immersion blender with a plastic guard and it's held up just fine in hot food. I've even pureed soup right in the pot on the stove and no problem. I prefer the plastic guard for use on non-stick pans, so I know the guard isn't affecting the finish.

It should keep them spill free once they r locked properly.. 2 out of the 3 locked well......the smaller one had some issues with its lid not aligning with the lid slot.... they are otherwise well made n does what they r supposed to do, keep food warm that is....

Thin sauces will leak into the next compartment. Something thick, like hummus, won't. Get the lunchbot round sauce tins with lids to put inside a compartment for yogurts and thin sauces. Hope that helps. Sorry for the delay, I was away in vacation and the lunch boxes were at home:-)

The lid fit on these jars is hit or miss. I have two and one is airtight, and the other is problematic. Something like cookies you may be OK with though
