Embodiments include nestable containers and reversibly deformable closures for the containers that are disposable in the nested arrangement. For example, materials and methods are described for making and using a food storage apparatus having food storage containers and closures for the containers, the food storage apparatus including a plurality of nested food storage containers each having an opening, and a plurality of reversibly deformable closures for covering the openings, with the containers being nestable with each other with one of the closures disposed between each nested container.
