How do these next or stack? Storage space is limited for me. And are the lids microwave safe or just the bottoms?

They do nest quite nice when lids are attached. I do not put lids in microwave or dishwasher but besides that I love these containers!!

These nest nicely, the entire set takes up one small shelf in my cabinet. The lid is not microwave safe.

I saved the foam pieces that came with it to protect the glass when storing in my limited cupboard space, and they fit perfectly inside each other. You can even snap the lids on and store them inside each other without any issues. I do not believe the lids are microwave safe, and I wouldn't use them in the microwave anyway to avoid chemical leaching (hence the reason for using glass) but I am not 100% certain if they are not suitable for microwave use.

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.

They stack better with the lids. Without them, they don't collapse into one another.

they are hard vented plastic lids. Supposedly supposed to be able to use in microwave but I have not used them in microwave yet.

Yes, no problem at all in microwave. I have been using them for a few years and never an issue. Dishwasher safe too. Never had any breakage. If you stack them, I suggest folding a paper towel or two in the bottom bowl. It just keeps any accidental banging from chipping. They are sturdy but I like to be careful. I love mine.

Yes, all the lids snap together & the bottom container snaps onto the top lid. I love these. Gave all other storage away. Got tired of my husband looking for a lid to fit them. Been 3 yrs now. Don't use in microwave as it makes them look terrible.

Mr. Zeigler, I use these small pint-size jars for a great many things in my kitchen cabinets (spices and and in my refrigerator to store small amounts of left overs. I have not stacked these at all because I am fearful the top jar would topple.

The Moderno bowls are about an inch and a half in height or depth. The rim slopes down so I do not fill them more than an inch deep with soups or stews. I do mound salads in them, though. They hold about 1 1/2 cups of liquid leaving a safe distance below the top of the rim. Do keep in mind that they are not microwave safe! Two of my bowls shattered during microwaving. The bowls do make a beautiful presentation for soups or salads. For that reason I continue to use them and just never put them in the micrwave. They also stack nicely for storage.

The container is larger on top. You can stack them. The lid is indented and since the bottom is smaller it fits right on the other. I'm not sure what you mean by "wasted space between"? I'm assuming you mean stacking with the lids closed.

I would not suggest it..I think they would break down and contaminate food like plastic..and they are air tight . Most lids need to be vented in microwave...Just my opinion

I see that it says they will stack. Perhaps they mean when empty. They would stack when empty. Mine are used on shelves in the freezer. They have held up very well. I am always pulling the whole basket out and onto the counter. I think they are designed to fit in a cubbyhole at a spa, not really to stack when holding things. I could be wrong, maybe I've missed something.

You can probably lightly microwave food in them if you are careful. As long as you heat food up in short intervals like 90 seconds at a time stirring in between intervals you will probably be okay. Setting the microwave on 5 minutes and leaving it would melt the containers undoubtedly.

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.

The lids stack when empty. They do not stack when in use e.g. When on top of the bottom bowl part. They are not level enough or designed to stay stacked on on each other well. They do have some flex.

round on top! I have the smaller set (oz wise) as well as these and both are the same sized on top (they sell separately a set of round plastic lids for these, so you can use them as storage containers as well for leftovers!)

I love the set I bought but think the lids are unnecessary ... never used them for anything - including in the microwave

i only have 1 . with the lid on you can stack them . the bottom is not smaller, stack like cereal bowls, no .
