First time for the better:
- Liquids are reliably trapped, and can be transported safely.
- Dry, relatively odorless foods like rice, pasta, dried beans, lentils, etc., flour, cereals can be sure to keep pests of all kinds long.
Now for the not so positives:
- The material gladly assumes times smells certain foods contained therein, which can not get out anymore. Who does not believe there should be times with standard Tzatzikigewürzpulver, Stikekäse as Harz, Limburgr or Esrom or somewhat fattier, würzigeree food try to leave two days in it, pour into another container, smell for example in a disused jam jar, then at the L & L-vessel , wash it out of me in the dishwasher or by hand and connect his Christmas cookies keep it. Enjoy your meal. ; O) Since I use the (statistically) 10malige opening and closing day auchts more. The tzatziki powder eg even smells through the vessel walls to the outside.
- For Handspüler like me, the cans must be kept very cumbersome hygienically clean. In addition to the can body itself, which is sometimes very difficult to clean up with the sponge, is there still the cover It is the same with DESN edge, and the silicone sealing ring rausgepult, washed and then must be purely set again. Once adopted odors do not go the way out even when rinsing in the machine, I tried it unsuccessfully with a friend who owns a dishwasher.
- Microwaving the parts tend to warp, both the container as well as the lid. Is the food fet included, and comes this fat during MW operating in contact with the walls of the container in contact with the walls of the container are attacked (melted), even before the food is lukewarm.
All in all I can recommend the product very eingeschrämkt, namely only to Voratshaltung of dry goods and to transport such as potato salad, punch, etc., or as a classification system for the hobby needs, such as screws, electronic components, etc.
I buy in the light of what is said above, at least in connection with the use of food, only Voratsbehälter of borosilicate glass (by the way also of L & L) or Pyrex.

According to some, admittedly critical tests with liquids and a given reason (kitchen event at a shopping TV channel):
The myth of liquid tightness:
Test setup: A L & L can, in a lot of dressing, cover closed. The presenter can the can quickly fly through the air and puts them finally cover upwards again. Tataaa, nothing leaked. A completely realistic situation; o)
A closed L & L can, in a lot of Vinaigete, cover: Test setup with me. Simulation of a drive of 60 minutes in which I take a curve a little faster, which can tilt remains, lying on your side, all in my Koferraum.
So 5 layers of paper towels on the counter and closed an L & L-box and tipped sideways on the 5 layers of paper towels. 60 minutes later, half of the vinaigrette in the L & L-box, the other half on the kitchen paper, or in an emergency in my trunk lining, where it still müffelt weeks before her vinegary. Abe is that what I want? NO !!
Werind school paid attention, which of course is clear why this is, keyword creep of oils through the narrowest Zwischenräme such as can body and silicone gasket. To prevent the effect would be if you could provide the cans after filling a vacuum. But at these doses is unfortunately not the case. Although All this is not earth-shattering bad, but you should have it in mind if you want to evaluate the transport safety for themselves.
However, if you used the doses only in the refrigerator standing is taking no chances.
