Is this air tight? Can I pack soups in it and not worry about it leaking?

No. I gave this as a gift. The recipient uses the bottom for dry things. Sometimes for salads with veggies in bottom & fruit in top. Dressing separate.

No, it is not airtight. If u pack anything that contains liquid, it will leak.

HiI actually don't know, I bought it as a gift. I don't think it is but I'm not sure.

It's NOT airtight. The middle compartment comes pretty close and I've had success with things like hummus and yogurt, but if you're looking to pack soup go with a standard thermos.

yeah for sure. good idea actually. i wouldn't do a soup or liquid - not sure if water tight. i carry crackers around in ours.

I only use them to store salad or produce (Washed lettuce etc. ) But you can also put soup in them. I have had no problem w/ leakage. the seal is pretty tight.It has a good vacuum to it. They are really nice bowls . I have ordered them several times over the years. They keep things neat in the frig and they wash up great .

From my experice it's pretty air, tight. It's got like a rubber piece that keeps it sealed tight or from popping open. I don't think I would throw it upside down in my backpack, but it's pretty leak proof I think.

NOT leak proof!!!! I would put dry goods in it. If you are able to transport it while keeping it upright, then I would put thicker sauce in there, but definately nothing runny.

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.

The bottom container is designed specifically for soups and other liquids and will not leak. The middle container can leak inside the vacuum container depending on how liquid your food is, but it never leaks outside the container onto the carrier. I have out chili and stew in the middle container and sometimes there is some small leakage, but not always. The seal on the bottom container is pretty good and there are times that you have to use some real force to get it open. It would be great for soups.

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.

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.

No I do not think it is air tight. The top flap just folds down to cover it.

I am not sure I would describe it as "airtight" but the larger casserole lid does fit securely and will stay put when you are transporting anything in the carrier. The smaller casserole lid is not as secure. It will work lose, it just does not fit as tightly as the big one, and things will leak, so when I use that one I try to make it very firm around it using towels or pot holders, etc., if I am trying to take the small dish in the carrier to another location. I have secured it with foil or sometimes even a small bungie cord rapped around. The bigger casserole with the lid in place has never needed any other help.

I gave it as a gift but it has a good seal according to my friend and they say it works great, I wouldn't take soup in it but anything else should be fine. and keeping it in the tote bag ( even the Japanese tie theirs up in a 'napkin' ) and upright doesn't hurt as well, at least that how the one I have works. PS use the band it comes with to secure it...

No, the little containers included with it are sort of leak resistant. If I send soups or something leaky I use a thermos instead. My daughters favor dry food (fruits and veggies included) for lunch and all stews and soups are done for dinner at home.

No, It's not air tight jar. I owned two of this. It's great jar if you don't require air tight.

absolutely no leaking. i make soup and store soup in these boxes and put nox into my backpack and go to work on almost daily basis. never had a leaking situation.

I have put wet curries and thick soups in without problem, but every time I have used it for anything that has a real broth (water-like) base has leaked some, but as long as you carry it upright, it works great! So only in a rough situation would I not carry a soup in it, but I use it to carry soups to work.

Yes! I take my lunch in one of these every day and put it at the bottom of my backpack. I don't baby my backpack when going to and from work so it moves around a lot and I have yet to get a leak from these at all.
