Are these sheets solid, or can air flow through them. (I want to try to build Alton Brown's fan/filter/liner/bungee dehydrator hack.)

The sheets are solid. The purpose of them is to be able to pour liquids on and eventually dehydrate to a solid form. I've no idea what Alton Brown's fan/filter/bungee dehydrator hack is... but it certainly sounds interesting! Good luck :)

Doktor Polidori, I really don't know what you are wanting to do but YES this sheets are designed to let air flow throught them so you can dry out various foods. They work really great and the price is right so go for it. cga

I just went and tried to blow through them. I felt a bit of air on the other side, but not a lot. Not solid like tin foil, but definitely not allowing air like regular dehydrator sheets. I hope this helps.

They are flexible. I don't know what to compare their thickness to though. They are on a fabric, not paper though.

I put flour and sugar in mine. They have rubber seals on them an as long as you make sure they are tightly closed, they work ok. I would not say they are really super air tight though.

I use these for sewing items fabric and tools etc. Although the lids fit very well I wouldn't say they are airtight. I think they would keep out most bugs. I store some things in my garage. But I wouldn't swear to the kind of vermin and bugs that seem to find their way into just about everything. So far none of my fabrics or tools have had anything in the boxes I didn't put there! If you have something you need to be absolutely airtight against anything. I would recommend a screw on top container. These do though close well and no problems so far. Good luck.

They are probably helpful because they allow air to flow, unlike plastic bags. But the whole reason I got them is because I discovered a fantastic product called Fresh Paper. One sheet of this earth friendly paper in the drawer keeps things fresh for weeks. Combined with the bags, it's a great combination. Whole Foods carries them or you can get them at www.fenugreen.com. Definitely saving money since I started getting them.

I cant say much on this but I would say NO they are not leak proof or water proof the whole you suck the air out off I"m sure can get water in it, its plastic and I highly doubt its 100% proof.

They are supposed to be teflon, which might be able to handle the heat in theory, but I don't think they can handle the heat tbh, so no.

They are single walled and they do sweat a bit. Not as much as true glass does, though. You will want to use a coaster.

they seem to be airtight, but for extra caution i place a square plastic wrap piece at the top and twist lid. i mostly use them for dry goods.

I would say yes to that, but I don't run the air conditioner much. The sheets are heavier than regular permanent press or cotton sheets but not has heavy as flannel sheets from say LLBean.

They are not airtight. Water will not get in. There is no seal, but the lid overlaps the side by 2 inches. The lid also fits very snug. I have used these for about 5 years now. They are very well made (good materials, heavy duty) hold up to lots of abuse and have a lot of space. I put gear I want to keep dry and safe in it and put it in the bed of my truck. I have traveled many thousand miles with these in my truck bed and never had any issues with water leakage no matter what the weather brings.

They are smooth enough. Not perfect. But you certainly don't need to sand them down. Many are not very straight. But for fan handles, they would be adequate, unless you are a very picky person. You did not ask about sturdy. They are not extremely sturdy. Again: adequate, unless you want perfect.

Not really, perhaps a tiny amount. They do warp though, they will not stay flat sheets, but turn into rounded arcs. Plus mold forms between the sheets unless they are absolutely dried before storing beneath the cutting board. Wood is porous but the plastic sheets will retain even a small amount of moisture between their layers for weeks.

Yes, they are air tight. They snap on. I leave the lid cracked open when bread dough is rising. The lid DOESN'T spin.

The sheets are thick. Not too thick, though. Just right. I wash them in hot water and dry them in the dryer. I take them out promptly and they don't wrinkle. I don't think that they are made in layers. There doesn't seem to be anything sewn together or "sandwiched in" like a quilt. The sheets just seem to be made out of a nice weight of cotton flannel.Any fabric can have electrostatic charges, depending on the humidity, or lack thereof. I use dryer sheets (like Bounce) and have not noticed any static when I take the sheets out of the dryer.As I said in my review, for the money, these are the nicest flannel sheets I have found.

No, they are paper but good quality, not flimsy. I had ranch and yogurt sitting in them for a party, and they held up without getting limp or falling over.

Yes they are water tight. I put hot wings in the larger one for a party and they were still steaming an hour later. If water gets on it, or sits in water the food inside the container should be fine. Just be careful not to drop, one of my friends dropped on the driveway and cracked a piece of the handle off.
