Can the steamer baskets be stacked?

no as they have a metal column with ring on it in the centre (to pick it out of a saucepan), this is visible in the image of it. I store mine in the saucepans

They can..But it depends what you place on each basket. If something bully such as broccoli or cauliflower then no.

Stacked as in storing them? They collapse inwards and hardly take any space, but not stackable really.

they can be stacked, but they don't lock into place and I don't think the intent is to be stackable

The baskets are not formed for stacking, but they nest inside each other for storing. To stack them, you would be using whatever is stored inside for the support system.

yes- i have pans on the lower tiers but baskets on top 2. could easily have bigger baskets on bottom. they would best fit if round.

They aren't designed to be stacked, but you could. If you did they wouldn't be secured together. No rubber or feet on the bottom.

You could do this, provided the space was just barely wider than the containers on their sides. As others have said, they're flat, so they stack, but there's nothing holding them together, so if they have room to move, they'll move. When you stack them normally, the feet on the top container slot into slots in the underneath container, so they are solidly connected.

I don't believe these are meant to be stacked. The shelves and top are given load limits as shown in the manual. Hope this helps.

No. I have two of these (and they are wonderful), but they can't be safely stacked. They do look nice side-by-side.

Sorry, we haven't tried stacking. I'm not sure I would want to. This unit looks really nice but isn't as handy or as durable as I would have liked it to be.It's one of the very few items I've bought from Amazon and found rather disappointing.

Dear Ling, Thank you for your inquiry. We don't recommend to stack the steamers. This items is designed for use with 2-quart, 3-quart, and 4-quart capacities. The dimensions are as follows: The width is approximately 8 inches and the depth is approximately 7 inches. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. Sincerely, Tonia D.

I've never tried stacking them. They are big and my pantry doesn't have space to stack them.They've a flat bottom and when the handle is down lip is almost flat. I keep other small boxes on top it doesn't slide.

I don't think so. They make a 3 qt set that includes a steamer insert, but I have always used a standard steamer basket in my 4 qt.

If by stacked together you mean one on top of another, then no. If you mean side by side whereby shelves in each side share the same inner poles, then yes but the shelves will be staggered. Beware of this prodeict though as the poles are thinner than your standard metro shelving so it's generally not compatible with other metro sets and accessories.

They are not stackable unless you could make connectors to fasten to together, I also think that even if you made connectors they would be very unstable.

I personally do not stack mine. They are fragile. Plus, they are not all exactly the same dimension. They don't easily "fit" in one another. They're beautiful, but high maintenance!

No, or at least I haven't found a way to do this. I have stacked the shoe racks which are designed to stack, but the 3 tier is not designed the same way.

Yes, they are wider at the top, so they would not stack without losing some space.
