Do they stain after using to heat tomato sauce? And will they stack well in a dishwasher or do they take up a lot of space?

we haven't used them with tomato sauce, and they are mediocre in the dishwasher.

No staining but they aren't smallish bowls and do take up space on the top rack.

No staining. I don't have a dishwasher but I think they would work. They stack but take up more space than most bowls. I got orange ones. Wish they offered mixed color sets.

Yes, they stain. They do not stack in dishwasher adn they take up much space. After all, their capacity is almost a quart.

The packaging says they are - I don't have a dishwasher, so dont know for sure how they'd do in a dw --- may need to use upper rack to reduce heat exposure to the plastic. I rinse them with dishsoap and hot water in the sink - they come clean pretty easy.

No, I have never had a problem with them staining. We have used almost the whole container.

I have had no problem at all. One thing to remember with "Stainless" steel.... it can stain. Sort of an oxymoron I know but I work in the steel business. This grade of steel in these pots is a high quality and any staining will be minimal. It is easily removed with Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner. Also, I don't use the dishwasher all the time for my stainless pots. The highly alkaline detergent in dishwasher detergent is terrible on stainless steel and will cause the staining fast. It will also dull the beautiful mirror finish over time. These pots are so easy to clean. I just use a dish sponge and wipe em down. If I happen to burn something or I notice some spotting on the pots, I use Barkeeper's Friend Cookware Cleaner and it cleans right up. They look brand new still!

Staining is mininmal and easily removed. I have stored spagetthi sauce without any problem. Some have said that a light spray with cooking oil will minimize staining but I haven't tried it myself.

They are very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've not had issue with hot food on them. I have been told they will hold up in the dishwasher but not personally tried that!

I only use mine for dry storage, but I've heard that they will stain. You can avoid this by spraying the inside with non-stick cooking spray.

No, I haven't had any trouble with the plastic staining. I put crushed tomatoes for spaghetti sauce through the mill, and the tomato comes right off when I wash it. The first time I did that I thought it might stain, but it didn't.

They don't really go bad unless they have been used a LOT and roughly. I wouldn't put the top on the lower rack of your dishwasher and use high heat for drying, but I honestly never ruined one. I had a set of these I bought several years ago and, one by one, kept having the experience of not getting them back when I loaned them out. Never had one with a hole in it or whose top stopped fitting or whatever. I like them better than any of my other bakeware - even the expensive stuff.

I've owned a set in orange for 10 months. I started putting them in the dishwasher about 3 months ago with no damage noted. I will say the orange shows stains that will not come off.the main reason I got lazy and started using the d/w. Otherwise the non stick is great.

Staining was a non-issue for me. They dry quickly on a paper towel and there were no blue stains on my fingers when I held it to rinse under the water. And what I set on top of it to keep it flat did not stain either.

yes, absolutely. Plus I have found that even chili and marinara sauce does not stain them. We are really impressed with these bowls for hot or cold stuff!

I used my smaller ones and had hot coffee in them. Wouldn't put in the dishwasher but don't a lot of things anyway. Just got them so haven't used them yet.

I use them for soapmaking, and was able to get them clean by handwashing. They can go in the dishwasher as well.

Yes, they stain. Very quickly. They still get clean and continue to work great. Mine look like they have been through a lot but cookies come off cleanly and melted cheese slides right off.

I would only surface clean by hand. If you placed them in the washer, I think you'd have a problem of possible folding/bunching. But they may do fine in a delicate wash and lay flat dry. Just my thoughts, I've only surfaced cleaned the finished product.

I have not had this issue. I've had mine since September, I don't use it daily though. I have only hand washed. I have used it in the microwave. I do find that tomato sauces stain the finish slightly, but this is true of most plastics. I line the interior with a little parchment paper to prevent that.
