I want to use these when I make my own freezer meals. Can they be stacked with the lids on? Or would the lids not support the wight of multiple meals?

They could certainly support the weight... they are about 3 inches high with the lid in place. I don't know about the advisability of taking them directly from freezer to oven.

Depending on the weight of each meal it's hard to say. The lids are sturdy and snap on easily if you line them up correctly. They stay put too. I will say they are the best buy in town for baking, cooking and storing. I use them for cakes and casseroles and they transport well. I have at least 6 of them that I use at Xmas for cake gifts. Wonderful product!!!

I purchased 4 of them screwed them to the wall , I set them on a piece of strapping so they would be supported. Lids are ok but not air tight.They actually limit the amount of stuff you can put in them because they are at an angle and don't close. Looking at the current price I don't know if I would spend that much for them when I purchased them I think I paid 25 for 4 of them . I would buy them at the lower price.

Unfortunately I only purchased one bowl. So to say that they can or cannot be stacked is something I can't answer with absolute certainty. My guess is that you could. It's just like the bowls you see at pet stores. And when on display, they are stacked on the shelves. So i'm pretty sure they can be stacked. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If they are not frozen first they will stick together upon freezing. I do not stack mine.

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.

All of the other answers are correct however if u have thick lids I wouldn't recommend this product. I have 1-2 in thick lids and it is hard to get them in an out of the slots.

the large container and frozen piece both have sections for the smaller ones to snap into. All of the lids have sections on them so you could also stack them. It will stack exactly as shown in the picture those are snapped into place.

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.

I have not tried it but since they collapse on the sides, I wouldn't try it. I have set them on their sides to have easier access to contents when they are on a shelf and they seem to hold up fine, but don't think it would work to stack them on their side.

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.

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.

Never tired, but I don't know why you couldn't. I've used pints, half pints and quarts. Supposed to be able to stack the pint jars but I've not tried that either.

I don't think these are really made to stack. You might could but I don't know how good it would work. I only have one so I don't have any way to test that.

Mine do not stack. They slip right down into each other. In fact, when I received them, I had one heck of a time pulling them apart. These baskets are huge. I use them in my chest freezer, and they do help organize, but they don't stack unless the one on the bottom is full of something. They don't work in my side by side freezer because there isn't enough clearance between the shelves, but my fridge is smaller than most newer ones.

Absolutely. You'll just use less water because they are not as tall. Don't get tempted to stack the jars just because they are smaller. Only can one layer of jars at once.

I would not recommend trying to stack them in the freezer, since they're flexible, and the additional weight will likely cause a deformation of the bottom one, making the ice cubes more difficult to extract.

absolutely you can stack them but as Hugo commented it is a balancing act - much better to use the Ice tray stand. or if you have very little in your freezer just place them side by side.
