Cook with Color 12-Piece BPA-Free Plastic Nesting Mixing Bowl Set with Lids, Sage

Twelve pieces, no maintenance, nests down to nothing, and every single piece gets regular use in my kitchen. If a moving box went missing I would order this exact set again before I unpacked anything else. Very little in my kitchen earns that.

I use a middle bowl to mix my dog's food and toppers and it wipes clean instantly with no smell left behind. At this price giving up one bowl to that felt reasonable rather than wasteful. The other five still handle all of our cooking fine.

The soft base holds on stone properly, which almost no plastic bowl manages. I can whisk one handed while reading a recipe on my phone and the bowl does not budge an inch. That is the feature I mention first when anyone asks about them.

I portion flour, sugar, butter, and eggs into separate bowls before starting, the way a cooking show does. Six bowls is exactly enough for that. My results have improved simply because I am organized before I turn the oven on, which I did not expect.

Because every size has a sealing lid I stopped buying separate containers, which has saved me far more than the set cost. That was not why I ordered it. It has turned out to be the single biggest benefit of choosing a set that includes lids.
