Do these (7-cup round TrueSeal Food Storage Set, Pack of 4) nest for storage? Thanks!

They will partially sit inside each other, but not fully- the sides are fairly vertical.

As the others have said they will sit about halfway into one another. As for the the mold issue, I have not experienced that. I always handwash the covers and try to be careful to clean the edges of the bowl before replacing the cover so no food will get into the sealing groove. I leave the covers off in storage and also let them sit on the counter after washing for at least 24 hrs to dry thoroughly. One of my covers was ill fitting when they first arrived (loose) but has since seemed to regain it's proper size. Hope this helps.

Yes they do nest for storage. They are well made and will last a lifetime. Just make sure when you wash the coverto open the sides of it and dry the inside lines of the cover very well,or otherwise there will be mold on the inside rim and you willhave to buy a new bowl. I found this out the hard way. So any time I wash them I always fold over thecover on the inside of its rim and dry it completely.

They will stack half-way within each other. This will still save you space.

Yes, they are tapered for nesting, but you could alternate the direction by width/length for actual stacking if you have the space.

yes. it seems I can store just about anything in these. and it preserves the food item much longer than just a Ziploc or wrap .. I use mine all the time

They don't nest..technically, when collapsed; however, I store mine standing up on the edge under my sink. Therefore, another one standing next to it should be a good use of floor and height space

The lid does fit quite snuggly so I would venture to say yes. That being said, they are not Tupperware! Hope this helps.

Yes, We use them for storing grains before grinding for food. They seal well and are easy to open. Also stackable.

I would say no. Only about 25% of the bottom of a cup will fit inside another cup. I would not consider his nesting. I usually store in a below counter pull out draw, assembled with straw inside. This way the parts don't go missing. I like these cups, use them daily to bring my own chilled ice tea to work. No complaints.

I don't think so. They do come with lids for refrigerator storage. I would hate to waste the milk if they aren't.

I have put them in fridge, microwave, and dishwasher without any issues. Also, I have found silicone lids which make them a brilliant storage solution.

No not really but I store them with the lids on and they stack just fine. They do not take up that much space with the lids on.

Yes, they nest inside each other with the exception of the handles, which hang over the edges. That's the way I have them stored myself.

Hello, Yes. Unfortunately they do. They are not too conspicuous. I use it to organize large cups in my pantry. Good Luck!

Yes, but really only enough for l lunch or two. That said, we find we use these little bowls ALL the time. They are also very easy to store - can be played in front of cereal bowls, saucers, etc - and take up very little room. I store the lids in my cooking utensil drawer. Great flexibility for the price.

According to the manufacturer, these should not be stacked when full. I have found with my own use, that stacking them while full puts a lot of pressure on the bottom container and it will "bulge out". I tend not to stack my containers for this reason.

There seems to be a rubber seal that goes all the way around the inside of the lids. The latch also holds the lids in place fairly well. Some air might come through... I'm not really sure. I would feel comfortable storing a 25lbs bag of dog food in these bins for quite a while. I use them for birdseed in my back porch and I haven't noticed any bugs or critters.

Yes, they do nest. These are not real deep, more shallow and wide. At first I didn't like that, but they are a very high quality heavy measuring cup, so that completely changed my opinion. I plan to buy another set for our summer house.

I'm not sure I would use them for flour, etc, unless it was just storage for unopened bags. They are not air tight and don't really latch. But, that said, I use them for dog food that I have poured into the bins from the bag (so no longer in a bag). I have been using them about 3 months and have not had any issues with bugs or other critters in the dog food. There was only one instance when our puppy was able to get into one and that was because the scoop we use was preventing the lid from closing all the way.
