Do you know if you can stack the steamer inserts so you have one on top of the other?

Yes! they also have different heights for steamers. The one that comes with this set is a bit shorter while the one I bought separately was a bit taller, but they all stack up beautifully! Also, the steamer bottoms are clay (which I prefer to bamboo) for cleanliness.

No, they aren't meant to stack on top of each other. Would suggest you get the 4 or 5 shelf unit if you need one with more shelves.

You cannot stack them. The bottom has only a very slight taper so not near enough to stack them.

There is a steamer insert for the Cuisinart Multiclad set. I have not found one for the other sets.

There is no way to securely stack them together. I have tried to do this and if you move the carts, bump them, or use them frequently, the top section will shift.

No, you can stack them but not nest them. I imagine you mean one container inside the other one. At least I can not but I LOVE them.

Just went to the closet to check, seems like you can stack them. Mine are so full though it didn't stack well

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't be able to stack another set on top. All 3 levels are interchangeable, the "feet" are the same.

I think I see where he's coming from - this would allow steaming different foods simultaneously and add to the available space for foods. I'm pretty new at this steaming but I've not herd of any such slotted piece. Chek with a metal worker to fabricate one.

Yes, you can stack them any way you like. They are pretty flexible that way.

Yes, must have a sauce pan under this steamer insert. The pan will provide the boiling water and steam for the food above, in this steamer insert.

You can stack them. I have more than 3, but they don't "nest"; they do kind of fit inside each other so yes, I stack them.

An insert that has holes sits about an inch or so above the bottom for steaming

I am not sure.....I would look up the dimensions of the other inserts and see....BUT if you live near a bed bath and beyond or any store that carries it ..I would take the steamer in and try it in the floor ..model...it comes off easily enough...if they let you that is....don't get in trouble over it...of course compare prices and all and get it where you get the best deal

Yes; I've been very happy with this steamer and used it extensively. You can use it to steam just one or two layers at the same time. The fits with both. I've had bamboo steamers before this, but I definitely prefer this one.

Just a follow up, if you flip the rack upside down they will fit easily. But that takes the steam option away. You will have to use the bath option. Hope this helps.
