Without the lids on, do these nest inside of each other at all (for better storage), or just stack on top of each other?

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.

They stack, but not as well as metal cans which are specifically configured to do so, e.g., small pet food cans, tuna cans, soup cans, and so forth. I'd make sure that the shelves you stack them on have a door, like a cabinet, or that you stack them toward the back of the shelf. If you're using them for water bath or pressure canning, however, it's strongly recommended that they not be stacked. People have done that for years, and so have I, without problems; just passing on the proper safety info to you. That may only apply to the regularly lid/ring sealing system, however, where you remove the ring when storing them. A lot of people here have had trouble with this one-piece lid's sealing, or if they sealed, the seal breaks after a few days. Thus I recommend that when using them for canning, you use the Ball/Kerr lids and rings. For other purposes, these will be just fine, stacked or not. They're gorgeous, aren't they? edited to add: For gift-giving, they really have a WOW impact. People who received my foods we suitably impressed. :)

Not really. I would not stack them. There are no notches or groves for them to stay put. I would be afraid of one sliding off the other and the lid is not all that sturdy to bear a lot of weight.

They nest together perfectly, I stack six together and only six because that is all the room I have height wise. In the refrigerator, because of height, I can stack four lidded bowls for leftovers or jello.

Yes, you can. They don't sit in each other completely but they do stack for storage.

Kind of... They stack, but if they actually nest they are a bit difficult to get apart. We actually have a storage area where we keep stuff we don't use all the time so we actually store them in the boxes they came in so that they stay clean and together. For making mini cheesecakes - they are fabulous. We purchased 4 pans to make 90 smoked salmon cheesecakes which were the hit of the party.

Yes, they nest together well, inside of each other.I have 8 of them nested together and they are less than 5 inches tall

The containers nest if the covers are more or less setting on top of their respective containers (they don't need to be snapped on) and the containers would nest if the lids are stored separately.

Thank you for your inquiry. They nest in order to be more economical for shipping. You can see the base is tapered which allows them to fit inside each other in a box. They do not stack on top of each other and form a tower which is what we think you are hoping for.

No, they do not stack. But you can claim more cabinet space if you put them side by side... one up, one down, one up... etc.

I no longer have these, but as I recall, there is one way to stack them for nesting and another for shelves. I recall that the shelving arrangement snapped in place. I also used them in a small camper closet and they worked perfectly.

Hey, they don't nest inside of each other but they stack nicely. We stack 4. Hope that helps!

I wouldn't stack them inside each other. They have become stuck and broke when I've done so in the past.

They stack for storage. Stacking while using might work, but they are not designed for this.

Yes, you do need a lid to stack them, They do they fit one into the other. With the lid they will be very sturdy Gloria

They are definitely nesting..... They are stackable to a degree. I don't like mine to be more than 2 deep....

The containers are stackable ONLY WHEN EMPTY. See my review posted today. The company told me directly the containers are not designed to be stacked when full. I found out the hard way - when I stacked them, the ones on the bottom bulged and cracked.
