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.

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.

I guess you could, although they are not air tight. I purchased them to store dry cat food and bird seed, and they are PERFECT for that. They are good quality, sturdy and convenient with the flip up lid.

Unfortunately not. I am going to wrap each one with food storage bags and twist ties. Will just fit. When I buy these in a department store like Shopko, I pick the ones that are individually wrapped within the 6, 8 or 12 packs. This was a good deal so I will spend the money on the bags to keep them clean a/c there are too many to put them in my pantry in the 12 pack packages.

yes they do but not as tight as muffin pans. I prefer to store mine in the boxes

i keep mine in the orignal package to protect them and they store better, i really love these and use them all the time and having the different sizes is really handy hope this helps.

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.

Yes it does. This storage idea is great. My husband drove me crazy as he wouldn't take the time to find a matching lid. Now he has no excuse. No more clutter. Now he won't snap the lids on bottom after there washed. I use the 7 qt for flour etc. Hope this helps, Karen

Yes, the ones I received are round with 2 cup capacity and 2 piece lids. They meet my needs, would purchase again.

Yes, these work great for freezer storage. I have froze breast milk and homemade baby food for 3 of my children in these, and have never had problems. They go directly from freezer, to bottle warmer to dishwasher with out any difficulty.

Yes, these are good for storing your pot or anything. Clear or colored glass is save for use.

Yes. That's another reason I love these. Holds lots of eggs in one and you can stack. Easy to grab one to set along side your stove. I rotate so newest on the bottom. They looks organized and neat in your refrigerator.

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.

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

I have a bigger size but assume the construction is the same. The lids fit snug but don't create an airtight seal; I'd tape them before storing them in a shed.

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

They come in a small box with the lids on each container, stacked inside each other. I store my bowls separately from the lids, but I just checked and you can stack them with the container sitting on it's lid. Just so you know, the lid only fits about halfway into the bottom container, meaning it lays flat about halfway down into the bowl, so they take up more room when stacking them this way. Does that make sense?
