Does the lid seal well on the dish? I would like a nice seal to help keep the heat in.

Having the food in the dish and covered with the lid keeps the heat in, but it is glass on glass, so probably some limited air exchange where the lid meets the bowl. If you turn the covered set over, the lid would definitely fall off. It would do ok for storage inside the refrigerator, but I would not put it in the freezer.

it's so-so. I had it full of milk (I'm making yogurt), and when I moved it to the insulated box, it slopped out, to my disappointment. It just doesn't sit down in there the way you might think it does.

It doesn't rattle. But I've found water will collect there after condensing on the lid. If you're using a crockpot liner, then this can allow for some seepage under the seal. Occasionally, using a liner and simmering bone broth for more than a day, I will find a puddle of water dripping from the liner in the morning. I usually turn my liners up, back over the lid, to avoid this.

It's nice because you can brown/saute things before you start slow cooking them and not dirty another dish. I haven't noticed any excessive sticking, either. There is a "vapor seal" formed from the steam and maybe that has something to do with it. I love mine!

I always seal my lid on, but of you're looking for a thicker consistency you can crock without it sealed. This works best for chili an boils off a lot of excess water. Hope this helps !

i do put this in the dishwasher a few times. The seal can get a bit loose so I would hand wash the lid.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

It totally works for that as well! I put sandwiches, rice, yogurt and it seals the food in its compartment. There is no leaking whatsoever. However, I only put food in that doesn't need warming or heating up as I prep lunches the night before and put in fridge.

Yes, the large dish seals very tightly--almost hard to affix the top because it is such a snug fit.

Yes this lid works great. After meal is cooked in pot,this lid keeps food covered and warm until you are ready to Serve.

I gave the cooler as a gift so I don't have a lot of personal experience but my dad has been extremely happy with the cooler. The Styrofoam on the lid doesn't seem to have the best seal. Sorry for the vague info but hope it helps

I've owned for almost a year. Has been in my truck everyday through all kinds of weather. I live in themidwest so it is well tested. I've had no reservations about putting anything in it no matter the weather. It does have a gasket but I'm not sure how to answer if it seals. It keeps out moisture but the lid lifts easily when lifted. Has never blown open though and if a pad lock is added it is very secure

The lid fits tightly and seals well. No steam escapes unless you plan it that way by not seating the lid tightly.

It has a glass lid with some sort of gasket on it to ensure a proper seal while the food is cooking. That way the heat does not escape. Not sure what it is made of.

mine seals very well, i can shake it up before i open it with no problem. I only put cold stuff in it so no idea how it does with warm/hot liquids. I never put the lid in the dishwasher.

Unfortunately I had to return mine because I purchased the wrong size however I purchased a similar one from them and yes the lids do seal tightly.

No. The lid has a steam hole in it. Flip the button and there is a hole. Flip it the other way and it seals for storage. Never microwave with the steam hole closed and you won't have an issue. I use this thing everyday. Love it.
